Silk Roads! Spices, incense, perfumes, precious metals, ivory, silk FIVE PILLARS Faith – belief in one God Prayer – 5 times a day Alms – giving to poor Fasting – Ramadan, fast between dawn and sunset Pilgrimage (Hajj) – travel to Mecca! If capable! TREATMENT OF PEOPLE Treatment of conquered people was not horrible. Allowed Christians and Jews to practice their religion – they paid a tax OH NOES! Caliph (successor) – 4 people between Muhammad’s death and the split in Islam 661 – Ali, Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law assassinated Umayyad – come to power and move capital SUNNI 4 caliphs were rightly guided Muslim rulers should follow Muhammad’s example, called Sunna Claim that Shi’a distort passages in the Qur’an (Koran) SHI’A Ali should have succeeded Muhammad Muslim rulers should be descendants of Muhammad Claim that Sunni distort passages in the Qur’an OH NOES! SPLIT IN ISLAM! SCIENCE AND MATH! WAIT…WHAT? Baghdad (city) - Abbasid Empire Islamic scholars collect the knowledge of Greece, India, Persia The Thousand and One Nights (Ever heard of Aladdin?!) Calligraphy – Islamic art flourishes MEDICINE AND GEOGRAPHY Ibn Sina - 100 papers make up his Canon of Medicine – pharmacological studies of properties of new medicines. Ibn Battuta – traveled nearly 75,000 miles in lifetime. Rihla – The Journey – documents his travels to places in the Muslim world ISLAM AND THE CRUSADES CRUSADES 11th, 12th, 13th Century military campaigns of Christians against Muslims East - Byzantine Empire (Christians) live in Holy Land against Seljuk Turks West – Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) 1085 expel Moors (Muslims from North Africa) FIRST CRUSADE Alexios I (Byzantine) calls for aid to Pope Urban II (Rome) – old buddies, new problems… 1096 CE (AD) send armies to re-conquer Holy Land Christians take Holy Land – slaughter many people living there CRUSADES 2 - 9 #2 – Defending from advancing Muslim armies #3 – Saladin defeats Christian armies #4 – Western Christians attack Constantinople…ooops? #5 – Not much going on # 6 – Frederick II Holy Roman Empire (modern day Germany) takes control of Jerusalem through treaties # 7 – French Kings, failure # 8 – Nothing… # 9 – Christians forced from Levant SO WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?! Central Government becomes more important than Papacy (the Pope and Church) Islamic learning transferred to Western Europe Art, science leads to Renaissance in Europe (eventually) Increased trade with Asia, use of Roads from Roman era This trade through Silk Roads leads to need for exploration after Silk Roads close
