Do your own homework you lazy git

That's the second time you've said that today. You are fast running out of insults. ☺

Your posts would make more sense (and thus be far more likely to get meaningful answers) if you told us which PERIOD of history you're studying.

[Buenchico]

I'll guess that you're referring to the so-called 'Golden Age'.

If so, your answer needs to refer to the sponsorship of scholars (particularly in the translation of works, from other cultures, relating to science and philosophy) and to the creation of the world's first true university (the University of Al Karaouine, founded in 859).

There was also strong emphasis on developing mathematics (with the work of al-Khwārizmī and al-Jayyānī being among the most important in the history of the subject).

Medicine was seen as an important area of study, with the licensing of doctors via diplomas being introduced for the first time in the world and purpose-built hospitals being set up.

The leaders of the time greatly promoted trade across a wide area (with highly-developed navigational skills aiding to this) which, in turn, helped to spread the benefits of Islamic scholarship.

I was just about to say that, Chico, but as always, fastest finger on the button first.

No ( or yes) Ganae has asked a proper question

as I listen to crazy Arabic preachers ( in Arabic of course ) I must on how the Islamic renaissance led the world between 9 -12th centuries in Science and Math....

7th grade is 12 - 13 y o isn't it ?

One of the answers to: " why did the Islamic renaissance end ? " is
the rulers supporting it died out.

start with the Abbasid Caliphate here

and there is an internal reference to the Islamic Goldern Age wh is here

I am not writing this essay for you

Kairouan has the eearliest mosque but I am not sure if it had a scientific tradition and you could use that to show that the theology and science diverted relatively early

If you read up about the umayyads in Cairo, ( and Fostat ) you could show Al Azhar mosque had a scientific and medical tradition

Finally - if you are being taught this course by Christians you are well and truly screwed as none of the understand the achievements of 1000 y ago ( and why it ended ) and if you are being taught by Islamic scholars they will expect you to read the orig documents in Arabic.... good luck

The Golden Age ended when the empirical tradition ( experiment and conclusion ) was replaced by the mystical tradition ( if I pray really hard, God will reveal to me ). And one worked ( empiricism ) and was replaced by one that obviously didn't work ( pray and God will tell you )

good luck
