Kufa

Kufa was an important city in early Islamic history, located in present-day Iraq. Founded in the 7th century, it served as a key political, military, and intellectual hub during the Umayyad and early Abbasid periods. Known for its strategic location along trade routes, Kufa played a significant role in shaping Islamic culture and governance. It was also a center for scholarly learning and political activism. Over time, its importance declined, but it remains a historically significant city representing early Islamic civilization and the development of political and religious thought.
