THE GOLDEN AGE OF
ISLAM
Samantha Van Marter
WHY LEARN ABOUT THIS GOLDEN
AGE?
• Isn't is fascinating how most of today's knowledge of history came from the Islamic
Golden Age? Let's look to see how they shaped today's minds
ECONOMIC: CHINESE PAPER
MAKING
• Due to extensive trade opportunities, the Islamic government was introduced to
Chinese Paper Making.
• The process of making paper was much faster than making parchment. Due to this,
paper spread quickly throughout the empire beginning with government offices
then to the rest of society. Business boomed as shops sold books and banks became
dependent on what would be checks today.
INTELLECTUAL: IBN AL–HAYTHAM
• Also known as Alhazen, Ibn al-Haytham is credited with being the first "scientist" as
he inspired the scientific method with his many experiments. His achievements
formed the thought process of scientific research.
POLITICAL: LEARNING ARABIC
• The Islamic empire had conquered many lands and had established trade routes
amongst their conquered lands. Having the conquered speak Arabic would allow for
easier communication.
• By having a universal language within the Islamic Empire, things such as trade and
political encounters became easier. This would allow the empire to flourish.
SOCIAL: THE QUR’AN
• Being the holy book of the Islamic faith, the Qur'an encourages its followers to
respect all knowledge and faith. This had brought about a mutual respect between
different communities within the empire. Instead of seeking to destroy different
faiths, they were encouraged to learn about them.
