Islam spread rapidly
throughut the World. In 633 A.D.,after the death of
prophetMohammed. Ommayya Khalifas strove for the spread of
Islam. Within onecentury the expansin of Islam resulted in
the downfallof Byzantine and Sassanid empires. TheMuslims
occoupied Syria,Iran,Mesoopotamia. Damascus became the
caitals of new empire.,instead of Madina. The Arabs and
Turks contributed a lot for the spread of Islam. The Turks
infused the spirit of power and dominatin while the Arabs
endowed it with art and architecture. The conquest of Sind
by Arabs in the 8th Century A.D and the deep incursin of
Turks in the 11th,12th and 13th enturies A.D. into
India,resulted in the expansin of Muslim rule and the
spread of Islam The Arabs were captivated bythe richness
of Indian culture. They learnt Astronomy, Medicine and
Philosophyfrom the Brahmins and the Buddhist Monks. The
Arabs in turn,carried this knowledge to Europe. There is a
saying that the numerology learnt BYT THE Europeans from
Arabs was first learnt by them Indians. In the 8thCentury
A.D.the arab scholars took the tenets of the Brahmi
philosophy from India to Babhdad and translated them
intoaRabic. From those works they studied Astronomy
systematically and Mastered it. The Harron Khalifas
invited Indian scholars to Baghdad got the books on
medicine,Astrology and philosophy translated into aRabic.
They even appointed Hindu doctors intheir Hositals and
Medical Colleges. The Arabs were greatly influenced bythe
Hindudoctors intheir Hospitals and Medical Colleges. The
Arabs were greatly influenced bythe Hindu Culture. Our
music and paintings attracted them most. The semi-circular
shapes of theshines inHindutemples were taken as models for
designing themosques and tomgbs of the muslims. ManyArab
students learnt Sanskrit inHindu Universitites and
translated several Sanskrit works into Arabic. The Indian
administrative principles and the religious tolerance of
hindus was greatlyappreciated by Arabs. Theyt adoptd these
principles but spread them also in Europe. The Arabs
virtually functioned as cultural ambassadors of India. The
contacts maintained byMuslims with India,resulted in the
fusin of Indo-Muslim art manifested in the variety of
Indian Art and Architecture. By the 7th century A.d. the
Muslims conqured almost all the holy places of Christians
ot spread Islam. The attempts made byChristians to
reconquer these places are called crusades. In these wars
the Christian soldiers fought by wearing the cross. In the
year 1095,Pope Urban II,started them ovement of
reconquering theholyplaces of Christians These holy wars
were fought inmanystages. They were only related to
religin. The nobles whole-heartedlyarticipated in these
wars and eceived full co-operatin form the kings. The
federal system alsoencouraged these wars, which were fought
with fll religious fervour. Thew priests,the feudal lords
participated with great enthusiasm. The rulers of
Byzantine were ready totake advantage of a anarchic
conditions in the Arab countries. But the wars could not
fulfil the objectives of the crusaders.
