Islam
Ibn Khaldun conceptualized history in terms of transformations of social and political power, leading to cultural changes. This was especially true for the expanding Muslim world, of which Ibn Khaldun was a part. During the Middle Islamic periods, scholarship and learning became entrenched throughout the Muslim world and would have a tremendous impact on the evolution of human consciousness and society. Art, architecture, science, medicine, math, and engineering all flourished during the Middle Islamic period. Although these were the primary external features of the Middle Islamic period, also referred to as a golden age, there were underlying political, socio-religious, and economic developments that caused and characterized changes taking place throughout the Mamluk, Mongol, and Timurid periods.
Abbasid rule had a major impact on political, socio-religious, and economic developments. The Abbasid caliphates stressed schools of learning and formal modes of education that were rooted in Islam but which also transcended it by being applicable to global institutions.

Centralization of learning and training in turn created motivation for population migration, as well as urbanization throughout the Muslim world.

Throughout the Muslim world during this time period, small groups and agrarian societies, as well as nomadic groups, became influenced by Islam. Local laws were transformed to reflect the new legal codes and systems taught, if not imposed, by the Abbasid caliphate. As these laws and worldviews supplanted those of the indigenous codes, the world became metaphorically smaller even as it remained culturally diverse. Thus, Turks, Mongols, and Arabs fell within the same Muslim rubric while retaining unique cultural identities.
Pluralism became a core strength of Islam during the Middle period. Some of the core features of learning during this time, in the realms of politics, law, medicine, and math, for example, were universal in scope. This was true in spite of the fact that regional artistic and creative expressions heralded the great diversity of cultures in the Muslim world. This diversity gave character to Islam, and highlighted some of the main...
