1
THE ISLAMIC EMPIRE History about the Islamic empire and how it worked
2
TIME AND PLACE The Islamic empire lasted from 630 AD, until the last empire, the Ottomon empire, ended in 1922. The empire conquered many places, such as Spain and Arabia.
3
RULERS The Islamic empire had many rulers, but the main one who started it was Muhammad, who ruled for about 10 years. The most important teachings of Muhammad are summed up in the Five Pillars of Islam. After Muhammad’s death, Caliphs were elected to continue his work.

5 MOST SUCCESSFUL ISLAMIC EMPIRES 1) Ottoman Empire (1299-1922) 2) Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258) 3) Umayyad Caliphate (661-750) 4) The Mughal Empire (1526-1857) 5) The Safavid Empire(1501-1736)
5
ARCHITECTURE The Islamic architecture was very unique and some buildings were used for religious reasons. This is a mosque. A mosque is like a church or cathedral. Every morning, a person would sing to call everyone and the Muslims would go to the top and pray to Mohammed.
6
MATH AND SCIENCE Islamic scholars studied both Greek and Indian mathematics before making important contributions of their own. The most well known Islamic mathematician was al- Khwarizimi, who invented algebra.
7
MEDICINE Islamic pharmacists were the first to mix sweet tasting syrups with medicine. The Islamic empire also invented emergency rooms in case someone had a disease that could spread. They would mainly use herbs to cure diseases, but if it you got hurt badly, they would cut that body part off!
8
ART Islamic artists were forbidden from using human figures in religious art. Therefore, they developed a style of geometric shapes and patterns that were used to decorate religious buildings called Mosques. Unlike Christian art, Islamic art isn't restricted to religious work, but includes all the artistic traditions in Muslim culture.
9
NAVIGATION The Quran encourages Muslims to travel throughout the earth to see God's sign sand patterns everywhere, but without the Astrolabe it would have been practically impossible for us to discover new places like India and the Caribbean.
10
CONCLUSION In conclusion, the Islamic empire had an enormous effect on our lives and without them we would probably be a lot less developed then we are right now.
