The Islamic Fateh

The Islamic Golden Age was a period of cultural, economic, and scientific flourishing in the history of Islam, traditionally dated from the 8th century to the 14th century. This period is traditionally understood to have begun during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid (786 to 809) with the inauguration of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, where scholars from various parts of the world with different cultural backgrounds were mandated to gather and translate all of the world’s classical knowledge into Arabic and Persian.

This period is traditionally said to have ended with the collapse of the Abbasid caliphate due to Mongol invasions and the Siege of Baghdad in 1258 AD.
A few scholars date the end of the golden age around 1350 AD,while several modern historian and scholars place the end of the Islamic Golden Age as late as the end of 15th to 16th centuries. (The medieval period of Islam is very similar if not the same, with one source defining it as 900–1300 CE.)
