Islamic countries took this information and sometime made it better or easier to make.

From one country like china, to its voyage towards the Middle East, then the Middle East change it to them the Europeans got it. Both of these countries gained a lot from this transfer and they both equally got something positive from it. The base elements were just that basic things that in china someone might have done different than in the Abbasid dynasty. So their ideas always traveled from back and forth which made the countries richer, and better to understand the world. During the medieval and Byzantium world, religion was spread from the west to the east by means of taking over countries. Like most conquers or invaders, if a countries religion was different than yours, than through your faith. you would probably want to and were instructed to try to converted the other believers.

“No nation was ever ruined by trade.” This quote was said by Benjamin Franklin in the late 1700s. These words are so simple, and it seems like anyone could have said them. However, this quote has a bigger meaning in that throughout world history, trade has been so important to so many countries and it has led to many empires successes. It has occurred for a very long time, and it has progressed dramatically. Trade has changed a lot, but some parts of trade stayed the same over a long periods of time. In the era between 300 CE and 1450 CE, trade between Eurasia and Africa changed because the empires and kingdoms in power were replaced and their control over trade differed;
It is said that the Islamic culture mirrors that of the Roman Empire in terms of expansion and longevity. The now widely practiced faith began in an area called Arabia, which neither Rome nor Persia dared conquer. From its creation, it contributed several important things to Medieval Europe and the World as a whole. It conquered a large region and gained thousands of followers.
The history of the Islamic world has been one of weak state institutions and state underperformance, coupled with a high prevalence of violence, both by the state and by individuals. A major reason for these negative trends has been the role of political Islam in privileging homogeneity over diversity, in stifling dissent in public and private life, and the societal stagnation that follows such rigid controls. Malaysia and Indonesia have been notable exceptions to the underperformance of Islamic cultures.

The middle ages was a grueling, and strenuous time for everyone, so most people focused on their religion and its teachings to take their mind of the painful times. The dominant religion of the time was Christianity. Although everyone from poor towns’ people to wealthy kings believed in Christianity, there was another religion on the rise: Islam. The Islamic religion is the religion of the Muslims. Muslims follow a man named Mohammed. His teachings were gathered and placed into a book called the Quran. Mohammed’s closest friend Abu Bakr took his army and conquered many parts of Europe. In addition to seizing most of Europe, he also spread Islam throughout the land . Islam today
The Islamic Golden Age is rooted in the city of Baghdad, a city of architectural splendor. It was here that they discovered a need for science that was necessary to run this newfound empire. In efforts to fulfill this need, it resulted in the recruitment of the finest minds from all over the empire where they were welcomed to center for scholarship, Baghdad’s House of Wisdom. Those recruited were intellectuals and scholars who came to work in the academies and were the ones challenged with the daunting task of transforming the great works of the ancients into a new body of knowledge. The scholars came from various faiths (Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc.) they were chosen and dispatched across the empire for the sole purpose of locating as much
From its beginnings in Arabia, till the time it reached its peak of power, the Islamic Empire was extremely proficient at expanding their influence. Islam reached from Spain to India and had a huge impact on people all across the known world. Their success in expansion was due their use of tactics and methods to assist them in spreading their control. The spread of Islam was so successful because their faith made them vicious warriors, and their ideas were attractive to other peoples, making it easy for them to assimilate to the Umma. The Islamic faith was successful in attracting new people to their way of life. They were also able to use their strong armies to their advantage as well as their image of fear to control many people. To help further expand their reach, the Muslims used tolerance to gain the interest of monotheists and other people in their religion.
Muslims were important to science as they salvaged and rewrote Greek philosophy. They used these and their own intellect to become prolific and intelligent scientists . Ibn al-Haytham ifor example conducted experiments that would inspire the process of the scientific method, he
Thus, the trade industry brought about a great transformation in Islamic pottery and no matter how strong foreign influence seems to be Islamic potters adapted and used many forms and designs for their own use. These transformations in style, and technique have been split into four time periods. The first time period being Early Islamic pottery from the seventh to the ninth century, then the Early Medieval Islamic pottery period from the eleventh to the mid thirteenth century, followed by the Late Medieval Islamic pottery period from the mid thirteenth century to the fifteenth century, and finally the Late Islamic pottery period from sixteenth to the seventeenth century (Jenkins 1983).

Trade has been an essential part of the world dating back to the Stone Ages, in which man was known to trade obsidian and flint. Trade has been the key for the human race to interact and bring together cross-cultural contact all throughout the world. Strayer and Nelson prove this point to be true throughout their book with examples like the Atlantic Slave Trade, commerce between Asia and the West and connection through agriculture. It is seen throughout history that trade is an important factor, it has helped the exchange of ideas, which we use in today’s world. Whether it be different religions, cultural change, or even technological advancement this is all a result from trading. I am going to provide evidence as to why the world from the early modern era to present day has been connected because of trade.

Religion is a complicated multi-dimensional phenomenon that embraces all the spheres of people’s lives. Therefore, to analyze the meaning and objective effects of any religion, the researchers need to study e a particular society before the appearance of religion. It is common knowledge that understanding beliefs requires awareness of sociological, political, economic, psychological and philosophical life of a particular society. This paper is aimed to explore the Arabian society’s condition in Pre-Islamic period and to prove that the spread of Muslimism has considerably improved people’s well-being, creating political and social structure.
The history of the Muslim people began a few million years ago (Stewart, Unfolding Islam, 1). The world was a much different place back then. During that time the continents of the world did not have the same form that they have today, “Afro-Arabia and Eurasia together formed a super continent, Afro-Eurasia” (Stewart, 1). The placement of Afro-Eurasia was centrally located making it easy to transport between “Africa, Asia and Europe” (Stewart, 1). The proximity of the continents supported the spread of Islam. Between that time and the emergence of Islam other Semitic religions surfaced. Islam was the last Semitic religion to appear (Stewart, 1).
