"The conscription process began upon the request for a new levy by the yeniceri agasi (chief of the janissaries). Such a decree

was issued every three to four years indicating the number of boys needed and the places of recruitment. Once this was done, specially appointed janissary officers were sent to Christian villages where they asked village priests for a list of baptized boys. Those who tried to hide children from the officers were strictly punished. Villagers sometimes attempted to prevent the village boys from being conscripted by falsifying baptism registers, circumcising them, or declaring them married."

According to question, the use of Devshirmes weakened the fighting strength of the Balkans' Janissary corps is correct.

Option B is correct.

Devshirme is the systematic collection of non-Muslim boys or young men from rural Christian populations in the Balkans by Ottomans; the boys were taken to Istanbul, converted to Islam, and educated for military or religious professions.

The Devshirme system was established in the late 14th century. Christian boys were coerced into serving the Ottoman government. The boys were generally taken from the Balkan provinces, converted to Islam, and then subjected to a battery of tests to assess their intelligence and capabilities.

Can someone please right a 4-6 paragraph about the Golden Age of Islam please and thank you
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Islam as a religion began with the message which was spread by Islam’s Prophet and God’s Messenger Muhammad ibn Abdallah in the Arabian Peninsula in 610 CE and which was contained in the Qur’an, God’s revelation to Muhammad. After Muhammad’s death in 632, his followers, the Muslims, embarked on successive waves of conquest of the Middle East and beyond; within less than a century, they had political and military control of virtually all the lands between India and Spain. The exercise of this control came from a state that was called the caliphate, its ruler being viewed as the caliph, or “successor,” to the Prophet Muhammad. In the first few decades, the state, based in Arabia, was simple and its ruler elected on the basis of merit. However, following the expansion, it soon turned into a complex, multi-national empire ruled by dynasties based in Syria first (the Umayyads, 661-750 CE) and then in Iraq (the Abbasids, 750-1258 CE). The caliphal system became weakened in the later ninth century, and by the tenth century, real power had moved to several local dynasties although the caliph remained the nominal head of the empire. The Abbasid empire and most of the local dynasties were overrun and practically destroyed by the Mongol invasion of the Middle East in 1258. That invasion ended not only the early phase of Islamic history, but also the “Golden Age” of Islamic civilization, which had been developing slowly from the beginning of this period. The “Golden Age” refers to the period when the varied contributions of Islamic civilization reached their peak in both the indigenous Islamic disciplines (such as Islamic law) and the newly imported disciplines of late antiquity (such as philosophy).
