Camel: Arab and Muslim conquerors of North Africa brought the camel and the North
Arabian saddle to expand
Trans­Saharan Trade. Jewish merchants prized command of Arabic to aid them in long­distance trade. A Persian Muslim diplomat, described Calicut (port city in
India) as a place where there were no restrictions on foreign merchants bringing goods from throughout the Indian Ocean
Trade Network. Arab speaking merchants were treated just the same as Hindu merchants by the Hindu Ruler

coins produced by governments and having arabic texts and standard shapes made trade easier “In...Hemisphere” This affects trade. It affects it by by cultural also by money. What i mean by money is on buying

what advantage might readers of arabic have in trading zone encompassed by the coins?

things for trade

    The Islamics had many great achievements but I think their greatest one was building a trade route through their empire. Muslims were able to make such great contributions because they were open minded and had a high tolerance for different cultures. Because of this, they got to learn from the different countries they took over such as Greece, Rome, and India. They had so many different ideas and all that knowledge led to them making great achievements that lasted and made an impact on the world. Islamics had quite a few achievements in math. One being, as stated in Document 1, that they relied on mathematicians to calculate prayer times and also the direction of the Mecca. Both of these were very important to them because their culture was…

    The Mali Empire and the Aztec Empire both benefited and flourished from trade. The Mali Empire came very much in contact with Islamic based regions when they traded items such as gold, ivory, and slaves. Trade for Mali had cultural implications because it facilitated the introduction of Islam to the region. Aztecs traded with nearby people of their society and traded textiles, rabbit – fur blankets, embroidered clothes, jewelry, and obsidian knifes. Aztec society did not experience an introduction of new cultural ideas because they traded only locally. Trading for both society stimulated agricultural growth and for the Mali empire also stimulated introduction to Islam.…

    The “Post-Classical Period,” was a time of change, expansion, and vast cultural diffusion. The Islamic civilization is a group that emerged from the Semitic groups of southwestern Asia, and moved to the Arabian peninsula in tribes, known as the Bedouin tribes, due to lack of water and food. The Islamic Civilization encountered the cultures of the Europeans, Asians and Africans, and connected into these civilizations because of the spread of the Muslim religion. The Bedouin Arabs intensified cultural diffusion also through trade, migration, and warfare. The movement of the Islamic culture resulted in the dissemination of distinct cultural characteristics, ideas, and technology throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa.…

    Islam also majorly affected trade in Africa. Due to Islam's diffusion, Muslim traders increasingly dominated trans-Saharan trade (Davis and Page, “Islam.”). In fact, Muslims basically controlled trade soon after Islam became a major religion (Cosman and Jones). Islam facilitated trade by introducing commonality between traders in the form of a shared religion and providing scribes to write contracts and religious leaders to settle conflicts (Abbott). The spread of Islam led to mainly Muslim-controlled…

    The video Islam: Empire of Faith was mainly telling you about the history and ways of life of Muhammad, Suelyman, and Mehmet. Although I didn't particularly enjoy watching an educational movie about religion, it was interesting to learn what had happened in the many years before my generation. I enjoyed seeing the very old but astonishingly well structured buildings made of gold and other unique necessities. I found it very impressive that the buildings were still standing hundreds of years later. I didn't have any problems with the film other than it being rather boring, I personally found somewhat of an interest learning about other religions and their beliefs.…

    Trading helped spread Islam because in order to trade goods and things you have to travel to different places. When the traders reach their destination then they would preach to the traders about Islam and the way of life because Islam is not just a religion but it is in fact a way of life. So the traders would tell them the Islamic way of living and the five pillars giving Zakat and the Hajj and everything. Some of the traders like the sound of the one god an their way of life so they convert to Islam and then they do the same to people who come to trade with Mecca.…

Historically, there have been many monotheistic and also polytheistic religions but none had strong impact as the great Muslim empire and the all powerful Roman Christian empire. The Roman Christian Empire at first did not see the point the this religion in fact the hated the religion so much that they were willing to kill, Although thousands of people nailed to a cross on a hill for others to see what would happen if others follow , many were also inspired knowing other people were willing to give their lives for this faith that they wanted to know what they were missing out on.In further time christanity beacame the main reilgon in the Roman Emoire.The Muslim empire started with a man named Muhhammand that was bon in Mecca and as he got older worked as merchant,until an angel came to visit him telling him that he is a prohet of god.He went to sperad the word of god but later was kicked out of mecca becuase he was takling about monothesitic religon.He than went medina and gained the power to go back to medina and take it over,that was the start of a golruios empire.…

    Islam is an ill-perceived religion throughout most of the Western world. Once known as a quiet and peaceful religion, the general perception of people from other religions and most of the world upon Islam is quite distorted. Ever since the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, an influx of discrimination and prejudice towards Islam and Muslims has spread throughout the world. In “Understanding Islam,” by Kenneth Jost, an article about several accounts of how Muslims are mistreated and stereotyped throughout the world, brings up a recent poll within the United States says that 45 percent of those surveyed has an unfavorable view of Islam. The article also states that a CBS poll in April 2006 found that 46 percent of those surveyed believe Islam encourages violence more than other religions. Westerners must recognize the need to combat the backlash of stereotypes and negativity towards Islam within the 21st century. In order to do so, we must first truly understand Islam by comprehending this unique faith and culture.…
