750-1000 Introduction

While Europe plunged into their "dark ages", Islam rose into their golden age, making an extraordinary amount of progress both as a religion and community, and in the scientific fields. A large part of this was due to the growth and magnetism of Baghdad. Named the capital of Islam by the 'Abbasid Dynasty, Baghdad attracted philosophers, physicians, astronomers, alchemists, writers, and other top-tier thinkers, who together made Baghdad, and in turn Islam, a scientific jewel of the world.
