Features: Throughout the millennia of world civilization, numerous empires, large and small, have risen and dominated, leaving behind both dazzling achievements and devastating disasters in the development of world civilization. Their rise and fall have formed an important part of the history of world civilization, leaving a rich cultural heritage for human society. This book introduces one of them—the Arab Empire. The Arab Empire, also known as the Islamic Empire or the Arab-Islamic Empire. In this vast empire with multiple ethnic groups, languages, religions, and social systems, the two cornerstones of the Arabs—religion and language—have always held a dominant position. Islam is the state religion, and Arabic is the official language. Islam and Arabic are the two defining symbols and characteristics of this empire. This book is divided into three parts—upper, middle, and lower—following the internal logic and process of the rise, development, and decline of the Arab Empire, systematically presenting a grand historical panorama of the empire's gestation and inception, rise and prosperity, decline and fall.
