Challenges Faced By AbbasidThe Abbasid Caliphate overlookd all over the Islamic world, making it one of the influential and longest Islamic dynasties. During the endure of Umayyad, the Abbasids came in a rebellion with the help of coalition of various forces which were in a bad way(p) with the rule of Umayyad. Once the Abbasids were in power they continued with many policies that were reinforced by Umayyad. One thing that made unique the Abbasids than the Umayyads was that the Abbasids embrace Iranian gardening and moved the capital to the spick-and-span city to the capital of Iraq age the Abbasid had grown and faced rise as well as hang up in the caliphate that are linked to diversity in terms of ethnicities and culture as their openness to Non Muslims also. This period is considered as the most successful and chromatic age for the Islamic culture.Challenges FacedIn context of fall or take exceptions faced by Abbasid, author Nigel D. Furlong severalizes that With Kharij ite tensions in the government, the rise of the Saffarids, Shiite enemies, and the emerging Qarmatiyyuns, the Abbasid state could not devote the re themes necessary to deal with the Zanj revolt until ten age after the Zanj began their host and economic campaign (Rise and Fall, 2008).Under the influence of Abbasids, Baghdad was developed and became the most cultured and the leading city in the world. The literature, craft and science were developed under the sponsorship of Caliph Harun al- Rashid and his son, Al-Mamun that created the House of cognizance. The House of Wisdom was accountable for the translation of knowledge in Arabic from all nearly the world. With the implementation of much(prenominal) policies, the Abbasids oversaw an Islamic golden age where the learning of many civilizations was expanded and preserved upon. A number of practical understructures took place in different fields such(prenominal) as art, culture, and technical but major(ip) improvement was notic ed in the field of agriculture. many a(prenominal) in the buff techniques and methods were enforced in order to reduce the labor needs. At the same time, trade and export trade process was enhanced and such Islamic innovation continued even as the government of Abbasid fell into the confusion. Gradually, under the governorship of Emirs and of military that controlled the caliphs, Abbasid power became weakened and began to face several challenges (The Abbasid Dynasty The gilded Age of Islamic Civilization).During the period of early ninth century, by the time of Caliph Al-Radi, the Abbasid Caliphate was succeeded and thrived in spite of of having multiethnic and massive empire because of several capable advisors and caliphs. So, the major challenge the Abbasid faced was the multiethnic and massive empire. At the same time, Abbasid faced challenges of revolts from the northbound Africa and Persia and Harun Al- Rashid was removed from power by the Persian Barmakid family which w as supposed to be source of many great advisors. After this event his son Al- Mamun continued with the caliphate (The Abbasid Dynasty The grand Age of Islamic Civilization).Al- Mamun tested and adopted mihna and Mutazili technology in their caliphate which was influenced by the Greek philosophy. It was compulsory to follow the theory or else they could be lag or killed. It leads to the divisions between the Islamic people and Islamic sovereign that was worsen by his creation of his army only. The Persian governor ruled as a king and set up his own dynasty however he continued to identify the Abbasid. This continuation of trend of impendent governors as well as the cost of running massive empire and maintaining a large bureaucratism became major challenges for the Abbasid caliphate (The Abbasid Dynasty The Golden Age of Islamic Civilization).To overcome with all such challenges, the caliphs granted tax-farms to military commanders and governors and Al-Mutasim expanded its own army called Ghilman. These slaves tried to rule over the people of Baghdad that resulted in the riots and anger of the citizens. Instead of attempt to solve the situation, the caliphate moved capital from Baghdad to Samarra. This step was not faithful and the capital moved back to Baghdad by Caliph Al-Muwaffaq who channelise the caliphate to radical prosperity and hence, Abbasid power gained a new lease on life (The Abbasid Dynasty The Golden Age of Islamic Civilization).Impact Of Their Rise To supplyThe rise of Abbasid was very impactful not only to Muslims but also to near Non-Muslim states. The major important factor in their caliphate was its openness to the people previously which was subject to the rejection by the Umayyad Caliphate. The rise of the Abbasid Caliphate greatly enriched every field such as agriculture, trade, natural science, literature, astronomy, chemistry as well as maths (Rise and Fall, 2008). In context of the cultural values Amira K. Bennison states in his book The Golden Age of the Abbasid Empire that the rulers of Abbasids nurtured the civilized values in their caliphate which western civilizations so often claim to represent and inculcated (Bennison, 2009).During that period, Abbasids were trying to advance all sectors of the thriftiness mostly due to the efforts of Muslim Persians working in those respective fields. In the beginning of their rule many different aspects of Quran were also flourished because of the new idea proposed by the Muslims as well as Non Muslims of the state. The openness dodging of their community lead to the innovation in technology with the implementation of new methods and ideas so that they overcome with their Arabian and Non Arabian counterparts and it reshaped industries into more effective and riches producing industries (Rise and Fall, 2008).Under the rule of Harun al- Rashid, Baghdad became the most important centre for philosophy, science, education, medicament and the literature. It share c ontacts and borders with many distant empires to collect, migrate, expand and translate knowledge of other(a) civilizations like Indians, Persians, Greeks, Chinese and Romans. The Indian numerals which have become standard in the western world and in the Islamic were aided in the scientific discoveries and mathematics. Other Scholars such as Al- Biruni and Abu Nasar Mansur made contribution in the outgrowth of the astronomy and geometry while Al-Kindi synthesized Greek philosophy and revolutionized mathematics with Islamic thought. Many important innovations were taken place in the component part which was important primer for the growth and development and hence, today this period is known as the Islamic Golden Age. This impacted innovation and development in the Muslim as well as in the Non Muslim states. The process of imports and exports were enhanced with new ideas, rules, laws and policies. Literatures were developed with the contribution of many scholars and writers in al l subjects such as mathematics, astronomy, economics or science. Similarly, improved method of agriculture, advanced farming and mould techniques was implemented that reduced the need for labor and increased the productivity that at last enhanced economic situation of the region and also of the neighboring region (The Abbasid Dynasty The Golden Age of Islamic Civilization).
