The Abbasids significantly transformed the Islamic empire by shifting the capital from Damascus to Baghdad, which became a cultural and intellectual hub. They fostered advancements in science, medicine, mathematics, and philosophy, establishing institutions like the House of Wisdom. Their rule emphasized inclusivity and cultural exchange, leading to a flourishing of arts and literature. This period, known as the Islamic Golden Age, greatly influenced subsequent civilizations and shaped the identity of the Islamic world.
The answer you are looking for is: Baghdad. However, it is not actually correct for the question as phrased. The Abbassids were not the last Islamic Empire, Qajjar Persia was. It just happens that the Abbassids were the last Arab-Islamic Empire. Additionally, Baghdad was sacked by the Mongols, who were not Muslims at that time.
The Abbasids, as the ones from the Islamic Empire.
When the Abbassids came to power, they inherited all of the contemporaneous Islamic territories with the exception of Islamic Spain. They quickly lost many of those territories, but at the time of their successful insurrection they had nearly all Islamic territories.
There is no such thing as "the Muslim Empire". There were numerous (over 25) distinct Islamic Empires that all had distinct rises and falls at different times and places.The Rashidun Caliphate, the first Islamic Empire was at its height in 660 C.E., just before the Fitna al-Kubra (the First Islamic Civil War). The Umayyad Caliphate in the Middle East was at its height in 750 C.E., just before it was overthrown by the Abbassids. The Abbassid Caliphate had its height in the 9th-11th centuries when the Islamic Golden Age happened. The Umayyad Caliphate in the Spain had its height at roughly the same time as the Abbassids. The Ottoman Empire's golden age was in the 1500s, the Acehnese in the 1200s, the Mughals' in the 1600s, Mysore had a peak in the 1700s as did Zanzibar, etc. So there was no single moment when all Islamic Empires reached their peak.
There is not just one Islamic Empire but over 25 different Islamic Empires in different parts of the world. The first Islamic Empire, the Rashidun Caliphate existed from 633 CE to 661 CE. This was followed by the Umayyad Caliphate from 661 CE to 750 CE. The Umayyads were in turn replaced by the Abbassids who ruled all or part of the Middle East from 750 CE to 1256 CE. In turn, they were replaced by the Ilkhanate, the Seljuks, and the Ottomans all the way until the 20th Century,
There is no Islamic Empire.
The Byzantine Empire.
Umayyads are Muslims, they represented an important Islamic age in which they ruled the Islamic country & their capital was Damascus.at first they were good rulers but then they stopped behaving like proper Muslims and started drinking wine.
The title of the Islamic Empire was Caliphate. The Caliph was called Amir-ul-Momineen.
It depends on the Islamic Empire in question. Assuming that you are talking about the Abbassid Caliphate (which is most commonly referred to as "the Islamic Empire"), the group that brought them down was the MONGOLS.
In 1492 the Islamic Empire finally left Spain but i dont know when it began.
Many former Persian and Byzantine financiers and economic advisers joined with the Caliphs in forming the Islamic Empire. The early Umayyads especially took it upon themselves to develop a complex bureaucracy. There were taxes on goods, tariffs for foreign items, and the Dhimmi (non-Muslims) had a very high land tax (kharaj) that helped pay for government. Additionally, the Umayyads also taxed the Mawali (non-Arab Muslims), which drove them to support the Abbassids and revolt.
