The medieval Islamic Empire, one of the largest empires in history, rose to power in the 7th century CE and spanned across three continents: Asia, Africa, and Europe. The empire was founded by the Prophet Muhammad, who united the Arabian Peninsula under Islam. Over the next 30 years, caliphs conquered vast areas beyond Arabia, including the Persian and Byzantine Empires.
During its peak, the Islamic Empire was a cosmopolitan epicenter where Greek, Byzantine, Persian, Arab, and Indian traditions merged, forming a unique culture . The empire played a significant role in the formation of ideas and the development of material culture, connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe.
However, the empire's vastness and diversity led to conflicts and fractures. The Umayyad Dynasty and later the Abbasid Rule rose to power, but internal conflicts and external threats eventually led to the fall of the empire . The sacking of Baghdad in the 13th century CE marked the decline of the empire.
Despite its decline, the Islamic Empire left a lasting legacy, spreading Islam to the world and shaping the course of human history. Today, Islam is one of the largest religions in the world, with over 1.8 billion followers
