Sub 8d the preservation and advancements of islam
Early Islamic civilization made many advancements in science, math, architecture, art, and other fields:
- Algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and the scientific method originated from Islamic scholars, as did advancements in astronomy, medicine, and surgery.
- Iconic Islamic architectural structures like the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem influenced building designs. Mosques with domes and minarets became central to Muslim communities.
- Muslims created intricate mosaic artwork and geometric patterns reflecting their beliefs. They also established early universities and translated ancient texts, expanding knowledge.
- Adopting concepts like Arabic numerals and creating algebra significantly advanced mathematics. Muslims also made strides in geography, medicine, and documenting new diseases
Hadhrat Uthman (رضي الله عنه) - Excellence and eminence
Hadhrat Uthman bin Affan was a highly distinguished companion of Prophet Muhammad. He was among the earliest converts to Islam and emigrated twice for its propagation. He was married to two daughters of the Prophet. Uthman was extremely generous and modest, and the Prophet prayed for his forgiveness. Due to his virtues, excellence and marrying the Prophet's daughters, Uthman holds a position of high esteem.
The golden age of islam
The document discusses the Golden Age of Islam across four categories: economic (paper making from China, government supporting society), intellectual (House of Wisdom library, leader Al-Ma'mun's support), political (universal law, shared language and land), and social (stories in Arabian Nights, cultural stories).
The Middle Ages. The Islamic Empire
The fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD led to the rise of new powers, including the Islamic Empire. Islam originated in the 7th century in Arabia, founded by the prophet Muhammad who received revelations that became the Quran. He spread Islam from Mecca to Medina, and after his death the religion continued expanding under successive caliphates. The Umayyad Caliphate established the capital in Damascus and expanded the empire from Persia to Spain. The Abbasid Caliphate moved the capital to Baghdad and some territories became independent. The Ottoman Turks rose to power in the 13th century and conquered the Byzantine Empire, with their empire lasting into the 20th century. Islamic civilization was based
Islamic Empire: Evolution and Achievement
The document discusses the spread of Islam following the teachings of Muhammad in the 7th-17th centuries. Islam spread through conquest and trade, which extended from northern Africa to southern Europe and parts of Asia. An important result of increased trade and interaction was the adoption of the Chinese papermaking process, making written text more accessible. The Islamic Golden Age saw advances in many fields of science through the work of scholars like Al-Khwarizmi in algebra and Al-Razi in medicine.
Islam expansion
Under the first four caliphs - Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali - the Islamic caliphate expanded rapidly through conquest, taking over the Persian Empire and much of the Byzantine Empire. The Umayyad dynasty then ruled from 661-750 AD, establishing their capital in Damascus and expanding the caliphate further west into North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula, and east into Central Asia. The Abbasid dynasty then rose to power in 750, building their new capital of Baghdad and ruling during a period of cultural and scientific achievements known as the Islamic Golden Age, though the caliphate became decentralized over time.
Chapter 7 s and se asia, crusades - revised
Harun al-Rashid was the fifth Abbasid Caliph who presided over a golden age of Islamic civilization. However, after his death civil war broke out and the Abbasid dynasty declined due to slave mercenaries seizing power, increasing taxation, and environmental disasters. The arrival of the Seljuk Turks and Crusaders further weakened the Abbasids. Meanwhile, Islam spread through trade to South and Southeast Asia, establishing the Delhi Sultanate in India and gradually converting parts of Indonesia and Malaysia.
Umayyad Caliphate
The Umayyad dynasty expanded the Islamic empire greatly after the death of Muhammad. Under the Umayyads, the Islamic empire grew to span parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe within 100 years. The Umayyad armies began with hit-and-run raids and soon launched organized campaigns of conquest, taking control of most of Central Asia by the 700s and North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula by 711. However, over time unrest grew under the Umayyads as they neglected Islamic law and treated some groups, such as non-Arabs, as second-class. This led to their overthrow by the Abbasids in 750.

During the Golden Age of Islam from 750-1350, there were many advances in science, technology, and culture. Islam expanded across North Africa and Spain, with major cities including Damascus, Alexandria, and Cordoba. Under the Abbasid Dynasty from 750-900, the capital of Baghdad exceeded Constantinople in size and wealth. Muslim civilization flourished due to factors such as religious zeal, unifying Arab tribes, and allowing religious freedom. Significant advances were made in fields such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, architecture, art, and the development of the scientific method.

5e lecture 5 on causes of rev
Based on the criteria provided, Benedict Arnold would not be considered a likely spy for the British during the American Revolutionary period. While he was certainly in a position to provide intelligence and had political ambitions that could be aided by the British, Arnold was an American patriot who fought bravely for the colonial cause during many early battles. It was only after being passed over for promotion multiple times that he turned traitor out of resentment toward the American cause. Most of the other criteria do not apply to Arnold during the early years of the war when spy networks were being established. A better potential spy that fits more of the criteria would be someone like Thomas Hutchinson, the last colonial governor of Massachusetts who maintained close ties to the British and had nothing personally to gain from

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
