Muslim aristocracy

Muslim aristocracy refers to the elite social class in Muslim societies, historically comprised of wealthy and influential families. These individuals often held significant political power, land, and resources, and played key roles in governance, trade, and culture. Their status was typically inherited, and they were connected to the ruling classes, such as sultans or caliphs. While aristocracy is marked by privilege and hierarchy, Muslim aristocrats also contributed to fields like art, scholarship, and architecture, helping to foster rich cultural traditions within Islamic civilization.
