Question

What brought the learning of the Islamic world to a halt?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The 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.

Answer 2

The Mongol Invasion of the Abbasid Caliphate which culminated in the siege and the destruction of Baghdad was the primary reason for the halt of the learning of the Islamic world.

• The Islamic Golden age was a period of great intellectual, cultural, social, and scientific growth in the history of Islam.
• It is said to have lasted from the 8th century to the 14th century.
• The Islamic Golden Age began with the construction of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad by the Abbasid Caliph, Harun-Al-Rashid.
• It served as the center of the Islamic academic world, with scores of Muslim scholars working there.
• The Islamic Golden age's decline can be attributed to the rise of the Mongols in the steppes of Central Asia.
• The Mongols were nomadic people who, under Genghis Khan, conquered most of the Eurasian land mass, including China in the east, and finally came knocking on the doors of the Islamic Caliphate.
• In 1258, with the fall of Baghdad and the destruction of the House of Wisdom, the Islamic Goolden age is believed to have come to an end.
