Islamic Golden Age

Social

During the Golden Age of Islam, Muslims allowed other religions such as Jews and Christians to keep their religions and they were called People of the Book. The most high social ranking during the golden age was the Muslim Arab, they paid the least amount in taxes and had the most privileges. The next highest was the Muslim Non-Arabs or Mawali, they paid more taxes than Muslim Arabs. The third social rank was the People of the Book, also known as the the Dhimmis. This was just a Muslim reference to Jews or Christians because they base what they believe in on the Bible. They had a higher ranking than slaves, but they didn't have the same rights as Muslims. The lowest social ranking in the Golden Age of Islam was the slaves. Also during the Golden age, there was beautiful art and architecture. Their art often had floral work or vines. There was art on textiles, pottery, buildings, and paper manuscripts. Their architecture was equally as beautiful. The buildings would be very simple on the outside, but on the inside it would be covered in designs. They would often use intricate archways and geometric designs.

Political

The politics during the Golden Age was the Islamic Law. The Islamic Law is how Islams people keep order. It deals with crime, politics, economics, and even more personal things such as hygeine, diets, prayer, and fasting. - Islam developed a system of law based on the Qur'an. This system was created to help people apply the Qur'an to everyday life and situations. The book of laws, called the Sharia, regulates all aspects of life including, moral behavior, family life, business dealings, and government.- http://regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/goldenages/islam.cfm ( Picture credit- http://i1.tribune.com.pk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/281156-quran-1319490008-576-640x480.jpg )

Intellect

House Of Wisdom

In the house of wisdom, scholars would translate books of literature and knowledge in Arabic. It was a library, translation institute, and a school. Scholars preserved literature and works of history by patiently copying and translating works by Aristotle, Euclid, and other important thinkers of ancient Persia, Greece, and Rome. - © 2012 FLVS

The Islams learned the paper-making process of the chinese

This was a great economic advance for the Islams because it was much easier to make than papyrus or other types of things to write on.It allowed shops to start selling paper and books, and many religious teachings to be put on paper. What also arose was a credit system that is similar to modern time checks.
