The Motto of the Muslims!

As the Islamic Empire was stretching across the many lands and the Muslim states were experiencing a golden age full of peace and prosperity, this was their motto that was inculcated in their minds and hearts by the will of Allah (SWT)!

Achievements: Islamic Art & Calligraphy

The Islamic Golden Age for the arts lasted from 750 to the 16th century, far longer than the entire golden age itself. This was when illuminated manuscripts, ceramics, glasswork, textiles, and woodwork became very prominent in the Islamic Empire. In addition, the art of calligraphy developed due to the belief in the religion of Islam, which is not allowing the paintings of humans. Thus, this artistic practice of writing flourished just as the rest of the arts of the golden age.

Achievements: Medicine

During the medieval Islamic world, medicine was a central study for many Muslims since they were very much concerned with reactions to different circumstances and situations where medical knowledge and practice was needed. With this, a flowering of knowledge and intellect later influenced the Western world with the medical practice and education.

Arguably, many of the medical achievements during this era were based on the initiatives made by the Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Hebrews. However, the Muslims during this time corrected the fallacies made by the previous scientists and discovered other concepts as well. Making the Greek tradition for the rest of the medieval world was crucial so many Islamic scholars ordered and made more systematic the vast but inconsistent Greco-Roman knowledge of medicine by publishing encyclopedias and summaries.

In addition to the blossoming of medical knowledge during the golden age of Islam, hospitals were built and running in major cities in the Islamic empire such as in Cairo, the Qalawun hospital. It was sufficiently staffed with physicians,  pharmacists and nurses.
