Answer 1

Answer:

There were many contributions of the Arabian Empire during the medieval period. They were -

a) Dynasties - The House of Wisdom was an educational institution founded  in Baghdad by the Abbasid caliph al-Ma’mun, in A.D. 830. At  the House of Wisdom, scholars from any parts of the world  translated into Arabic, Greek, Persian and Indian texts on such  topics as mathematics, astronomy, and logic. The Abbasids had central banks with  branch offices and an elaborate system of checks  and letters of credit. It became possible for a  check written on a bank in one part of the empire  to be cashed in a distant city.

b) Administration - Baghdad was made the capital of the Arabian Empire.  Baghdad was an ideal choice  because it lay between two rivers and was at the  crossroads of great trade routes. The city was built in  concentric circles (each inside the other), with a deep moat  surrounding the three circular walls. The citizens of  Baghdad lived in houses outside the walls. The space  between the outer and middle walls was left clear for  defense.

c) Welfare Measures - Water was so scarce in the desert regions of the  Arabian Empire that the Muslims developed ingenious irrigation  techniques and utilized underground wells. Dams, reservoirs,  and aqueducts were constructed throughout the Islamic  Empire as early as the tenth century. It was in the  Muslim world that hospitals were first established. An early  hospital that became a model for the future was founded in  Damascus, staffed with doctors paid by the government.  Hospitals were designed to promote health, cure diseases,  and teach and expand medical knowledge.
