Muslim Cultural Achievements and Contributions

1. You are a servant in the court of a powerful Muslim
ruler. Your life at court is comfortable, though not of
luxury. Now the ruler is sending your master to explore
unknown lands and distant kingdoms. The dangerous
journey will take him across seas and deserts. He can
only take a few servants with him. He has not ordered
you to come but has given you a choice.
Would you join your master’s
expedition or stay home? Why?
