Answer 1

Answer:

Muslim civilization has been evolving and crystallizing into what we all know as Islam, from the ninth to the twelfth century. The military expansion of the earlier era mostly expanded Islam and later Muslim culture actually grew and many people converted to Islam.

Explanation:

Commerce, missionaries and improvements in the institutional system of the Islamic world had encouraged the dissemination of Islamic culture. Therefore, in several different cultures we have multiple interpretations of Islam

In India Muslim rule has seen a significant change in the subcontinent 's economic, linguistic and religious system. Persian and Arabic vocabulary had entered local languages, thus giving way to modern Bengali, Gujarati, & Punjabi, Hindi and others also created new official languages such as Urdu and Decani during the Muslim dynasties.

During this period many Indian technological and mathematical advances and Hindu numerals were introduced around the world, and much of the technological research and advancement of the age of Islamic nations was absorbed by the rulers worldwide.

During this time, Hindu music, Qawwali were born and dance forms such as Kathak began to evolve. Religions like Sikhism and Din-e-Ilahi were both born from a fusion between Hindu and Muslim religious practices.

Today, many changes for instance such use of Urudu and Hindi language, practice of religion such as Sikhism are some of the changes that Muslims brought to our sub-continent and still prevails. The influences of these languages exist in several dialects in India today

Muslims brought their language, dress, cuisine, all the art forms, architecture and urban design, and social customs and values to the subcontinent. Islamic architecture (mughal) & art is widely noticeable in India, for instance the Taj Mahal & the Jama Masjid
