Document Based Assessment Muslim Trade networks th In the 8 century, Arab armies spread Islam across North Africa and deep into Asia. Muslim traders advanced in their wake, taking control of established trade routes on both continents. Pilgrims followed these same routes on their annual hajj to Mecca, eastward from Africa and westward from Asia. Trade and religion united this vast empire, as the documents below illustrate. Document A “Under the Abbasids, the center of the Muslim world was the city of Baghdad [Gift of God], founded by Caliph alMansur in 762 on the west bank of the Tigris…The site was not chosen by inadvertence, for the Muslims had taken over the existing long-distance networks that had operated in the East for centuries…if the pilgrimage caravans made only one round trip a year in the prescribed season, it was the traders who, as always, kept the Silk Road th active all the year round. By the 9 century some Arab traders had pushed overland to China.” --From The Silk Road by Irene M Franck and David M Brownstone Document B A muezzin calls Muslims to prayer in Urumqi, China Document C “The speed of the Arab conquest of North Africa had been made possible because of the way the Arabs treated the desert as a highway rather than an obstacle… [Control of the Sahara] gave the Arab conquerors immediate control of the inland caravan routes, which had previously been controlled by independent tribal powers…These inland routes, were put to immediate use by merchants, messengers, military reinforcements and mecca-bound pilgrims, for they were less dangerous than maritime travel” --From A Traveler’s History of North Africa by Barnaby Rogerson Document D African and Arab Muslims on a merchant ship Analyzing Document: After your timeline write out the question and the correct answer. 1.

Why? a. the Sahara was vast, hot, and dry b. the Arabs knew that their enemies would get lost there c. the Arabs liked traveling on large, hot highways d. the Arabs were used to traveling in the desert 2.
