Answer 1

The Golden Age of Islam. It began in the middle of the eighth century by the rise of the Abbasid Caliphate and the transfer of the capital from Damascus to Baghdad. The Abbasids had been influenced by Koranic commandments and hymns, such as “The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr,” stressing the value of knowledge. During this period, the Islamic world became an intellectual center for science, philosophy, medicine and education, as the Abbasids embraced the cause of knowledge and created the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. There, Muslim and non-Muslim scholars struggled to gather all the knowledge of the world and translate it into Arabic. Several classical works of antiquity, which would otherwise have been lost, were translated into Arabic and Persian, and later translated into Turkish, Hebrew, and Latin.

They ruled most of the caliphate from the capital in Baghdad, after having defeated the Umayyad Caliphate during the Abbasid Revolution (750 CE).

 

The first government of Abbasid Caliphate in centered in Kufa, which is modern-day Iraq. The Abbasid period was noticed by the reliance on Persian bureaucrats for the act of governing territories, along with increasing the inclusion of non-Arab Muslims in the ummah. Abbasids had alienated Iranian bureaucrats and non-Arab mawali.

The name Abbasid was derived from Prophet Muhammad’s uncle, al-ʿAbbās. Around 718 members of his family worked together to have the control of the Umayyad empire. By propaganda, they gained a lot of support from the Shīʿite Arabs and Persians in Khorāsān.
