ISLAM EMPIRE’SOttomansThe Ottoman Empire was the one of the largest and longest lasting Empires in history.

It was an empire inspired and sustained by Islam, and Islamic institutions.

It replaced the Byzantine Empire as the major power in the Eastern Mediterranean.

SafavidIn the 15th century the brotherhood became more militarily aggressive, and waged a jihad (Islamic holy war) against parts of what are now modern Turkey and Georgia.

The Safavid Empire dates from the rule of Shah Ismail (ruled 1501-1524).

In 1501, the Safavid Shahs declared independence when the Ottomans outlawed Shi'a Islam in their territory. The Safavid Empire was strengthened by important Shi'a soldiers from the Ottoman army who had fled from persecution.

MughalThe Mughal (or Mogul) Empire ruled most of India and Pakistan in the 16th and 17th centuries.

It consolidated Islam in South Asia, and spread Muslim (and particularly Persian) arts and culture as well as the faith.

The Mughals were Muslims who ruled a country with a large Hindu majority. However for much of their empire they allowed Hindus to reach senior government or military positions.

Dear Bob,I am going to tell you about my difficult life in Arabia. I am a simple,

regular townsperson. Where I live, it is called a crossroads location because it is in between three continents- Africa, Asia, and Europe. Usually, that would mean lots of visitors but because the desert is so big, there aren’t many.

It is so hot and the air is always dry. In the deserts, there are these huge hills of sand called sand dunes that can reach up to 800 ft. high and can stretch for hundreds of miles! They may be fun to roll around in, but there is still no surfing like where you live! Also, there are wet spot in the desert called an oasis’. That’s where my town is but there is still not much water so its hard for plants and animals to survive.

We have something called a souk and its basically a market were merchants sell items such as spices, gold, leather and other goods. But we still don’t have everything you have in your markets! That’s all for right now so bye!

THE QURAN STATES THAT WOMEN AND MEN ARE EQUAL.THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN ISLAM IS TO BE A DUTIFUL WIFE, AND TO CARE FOR HER CHILDREN.BEFORE WOMEN IN ISLAM HAD THE SAME RIGHTS AS MEN, THEY WERE TREATED LIKE SLAVES.OUT IN PUBLIC, WOMEN IN ISLAM MUST DRESS A CERTAIN WAY.
