Beginning with Muhammad’s age from the start of 7th century Islam, Islamic culture and politics have gone a great many events and occurrences. Throughout all of its years, it has boasted both a rich culture and technological/intellectual advancements. The preservation of the Quran, developments in mathematics, and the continued emphasis on respect and charitable nature are just some examples of Islamic achievement. However, as with any growing civilization, Islam has evolved beyond what it originated as. The cultural and political life of Islamic civilization beginning in the 7th century to the end of the Abbasids of the 13th century underwent many changes such as the deteriorating view of women in society and the shift from elected caliphates to dynastical caliphate. But, one aspect that persisted were the religious beliefs and traditions followed by the Islamic people.

Nothing that Constantine the Great did shows his ability more clearly than his seizing upon the site of old Byzantium for the location for his new capital.

According to Jane Simmons, “His people called him Kanuni, ‘the Lawgiver’,” but others, Europeans, called him “Suleiman the Magnificent.” He was a sultan, a supreme leader, who became one of the greatest leaders in history. He was able to, in 1520, ascend the Ottoman throne, because of the many phenomenal characteristics that he was endowed with. He was known as an aggressive head of military, because of how committed he was, and how well thought out his tactics were. This made him feared, but also admired by people in other lands. He was also smart, very interested in knowledge, and learning more about art, architecture, and law. In 'Suleiman the Magnificent' it states that “under his reign the Ottoman Empire reached its peak both as a military power and as a center of culture.” It takes a true leader to be able to bring his empire to its highest ever.

The Fall of Constantinople featured the armies of the Ottoman Empire, led by the young sultan Mehmed II, and the heavily favored Byzantine army, led by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI.

Mehmed II sought to expand his empire into South-Eastern Europe, and immediately set his aim on the capital of the Byzantine Empire at Constantinople. He clearly saw the strategic value of the city, as it connected Eastern Europe with Asia (Damyanov, 1996). Mehmed II led an attack with little warning. In the early days of the battle, Constantine XI was confident that his army could withstand the

Under the first emperor, Heraclius, the new empire struggled to keep its territory. Persia was conquering land rapidly, taking the empire’s territories in Syria and Palestine, along with Jerusalem. It took until 627 for Heraclius to gain a victory, recapturing Jerusalem from the Persians. It was not long, however, before Islam had sparked a desire for expansion in the Arabs. They quickly conquered Jerusalem, the entire Persian Empire, and headed to claim North Africa. In 677, the Arabs attempted to take Constantinople, the city along the port Byzantium was named for. Unlike Heraclius, the emperor during the second attempt on Constantinople had a better strategy, known as the “Greek Fire”. Leo III was able to not only defeat the Arabs at Constantinople, but also reclaim almost all of the Asia Minor, which was known as the Imperial Heartland for nearly three hundred years.

The lives of Muhammad by Kecia Ali is a modern book that describes the way the life of the prophet has been told by past authors. It looks at the manner in which he lived his life and some of the decisions that he made. However, many other authors who have written about the life of Prophet Muhammad but Kecia Ali bring out the unspoken perspective that many people hardly notice. She shies away from describing the truth spoken by anti-Muslims and Muslims alike. On the contrary, she analyses both factions of the narrations and tells the story of Muhammad in a new light.

The Muqaddimah is a thirteenth century historical and sociological work that was written by one of the greatest historians at the time, Ibn Khaldun. His work was used all the way up until the 19th century because no other work has given so much in-depth detail to the history and society of the Middle East in the Middle Ages and prior to that. Ibn Khaldun has read more first-hand references to what really did happen, and understands how the Caliphates fell within the Middle East. He is very critical of other historians, but this is what makes him so accurate at this point in time. He comes up with theories
