Islamic Empire

The Islamic Empire, also known as the Muslim or Caliphate, was a vast political and cultural domain that emerged from the Islamic religion, starting with the early followers of Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. At its height, it stretched across parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe, fostering significant advances in science, medicine, philosophy, art, and architecture. The empire was governed by caliphs and later sultans, uniting diverse peoples under Islamic rule. It played a crucial role in preserving and transmitting knowledge from ancient civilizations and significantly influenced global history, culture, and religion.
