Islam is regarded as one of the world's major religions, centered around the belief in one God, Allah. Its Prophet, Muhammad, was exiled from Mecca in 622 AD after receiving divine revelations that were later recorded in the Qur'an (Koran).
In contrast to medieval Europe, the Islamic lands were significantly more advanced. Scholars in the Islamic world made important contributions in fields such as mathematics and astronomy. Persian intellectuals wrote influential works on medicine, optics, alchemy, music, and philosophy. The renowned poet Omar Khayyam blended Sufi mysticism with exquisite poetry, leaving a lasting legacy of both spiritual and literary wisdom. See less
