How did muslim merchants affect the spread of islam

History

6 0

Answer:Islam had already spread into northern Africa by the mid-seventh century A.D., only a few decades after the prophet Muhammad moved with his followers from Mecca to Medina on the neighboring Arabian Peninsula (622 A.D./1 A.H.). The Arab conquest of Spain and the push of Arab armies as far as the Indus River culminated in an empire that stretched over three continents, a mere hundred years after the Prophet’s death. Between the eighth and ninth centuries, Arab traders and travelers, then African clerics, began to spread the religion along the eastern coast of Africa and to the western and central Sudan (literally, “Land of Black people”), stimulating the development of urban communities. Given its negotiated, practical approach to different cultural situations, it is perhaps more appropriate to consider Islam in Africa in terms of its multiple histories rather then as a unified movement.

The first converts were the Sudanese merchants, followed by a few rulers and courtiers (Ghana in the eleventh century and Mali in the thirteenth century). The masses of rural peasants, however, remained little touched. In the eleventh century, the Almoravid intervention , led by a group of Berber nomads who were strict observers of Islamic law, gave the conversion process a new momentum in the Ghana empire and beyond. The spread of Islam throughout the African continent was neither simultaneous nor uniform, but followed a gradual and adaptive path. However, the only written documents at our disposal for the period under consideration derive from Arab sources (see, for instance, accounts by geographers al-Bakri and Ibn Battuta)

How did muhammad link religion and government
solniwko [45]
The prophet Muhammad linked religion to government as he said that there shall be peace and tranquility in the government. Since Islam preaches peace, he made sure that the government was ruled by peaceful and wise people.

Explain how farming helped fuel the growth of the flour milling industry in Baltimore
Dafna1 [17]

Explanation:

The Colonial General Assembly of Maryland approved Baltimore's Port in 1706 and Baltimore's City in 1723. Through the early 1700s, Philadelphia's German and Scots-Irish colonists, who were skilled at growing corn and wheat, moved to southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. They settled their farming ideas and skills soon in Baltimore which further by 1810 had become pivotal ruler for flour milling while started from flour export business during 1750 an Irish-born physician named "John Stevenson" shipped a cargo of flour back to Ireland as an experiment.

Therefore farming skills settled by outsiders hiked the development and growth of flour milling industry as competition for grist milling became ferocious along the Jones Falls even situation occurred when as many as 12 grist mills out of which four miles of Baltimore were highlighted.
