The economic, political, social and intellectual achievements made in Islam in the time of the Golden Age.

4. Chinese
paper
The Chinese paper making
process was an extraordinary
discovery that brought about
the increase in trade and
interaction during the Golden
Age. Due to the fact that it was
easier to make than the regular
used parchment or papyrus,
the use of paper spread
throughout the empire rapidly.
Business transactions were
easier in the form of credits
and shops made a use by
selling paper and books . From
here paper-making spread
west to Morocco and then to
Spain and from there to
Europe in the 13th century.

6. House of
Wisdom
The House of Wisdom was
a library or institute that
attracted scholars from
surrounding continents. Al-
Ma’mun is credited for
bringing scholars to the
institute to share
information about the
diversity of their cultures
and ethnic backgrounds.
The house was a center for
the study of different fields
ranging from humanities to
astronomy, chemistry,
literature and mathematics.
Scholars made
contributions to these fields
and collected a world of
knowledge.

8. ISLAMS
LAWS
The Laws of Islam were
created to keep peace
and order. These laws
were built in a law
system from the Qur'an.
The system was made
so the people would
practice the Qur’an in
their everyday lives. The
Sharia, which is the book
of laws, spoke about all
aspects of life such as
moral behavior, family
life, business dealings,
and government.

10. Arabic
Since Arabic was the
official language of the
empire more people began
to learn Arabic due to the
expansion of the empire.
Information from a variety
of cultures melted in the
empire since it was much
more easier to interact and
communicate with one
another. As the
communication among
different cultures increased
so did the trade with goods
and information increase
over long distances.
