The Islamic Empire was a competing empire at the time. They both flourished in art. They also had very strong yet different religious beliefs;the Byzantines were Christians and the Islamic s were Muslim.
There was not an Islamic Empire. The Arab force which attacked the Byzantine Empire was the Umayyad Caliphate. It took over Egypt and the Levant (Palestine, Lebanon and Syria) but not Turkey.
The Sassanid (Persian) Empire, the Bulgarian Empire (which took over the lower Danube area) and the Rus of Kiev were major competitors before this. In the Byzantine-Sassanid war he two empires exhausted each other and this made way for the Umayyads advance which took over Persia as well.
After the Umayyads, the challengers were the Seljuk Turks who took over eastern Turkey, and the Crusaders. The latter formed the Latin Empire which took over much of Greece and the northwest strip of the Turkish coast, and set up the vassal states of the Duchy of Athens and the Principality of Achaea (the Peloponnese peninsula) . This split the Byzantine Empire into the Empire of Nicaea (western Turkey)and the Despotate of Epirus (western Greece). Serbia and Hungary took over the rest of the Balkans. The Byzantines eventually managed to expel the crusaders.
Finally, the nail in the coffin was put by the Ottoman Turks which took over the Byzantine Empire
