The period between 600 C.E. to 1300 C.E. was considered the "Golden Age of Islam," because education, arts, and religion arose and were developed. Islamic Empires were able to grow though rulers (caliphs), were able to have their religion, Islam spread to different areas in Western Asia and North Africa, had leisure time and resources (wealth) to build significant monuments/architectural buildings such as the Umayyad Mosque of Damascus, and there was also a translation movement which called for all teachings (ex. medical, geography) from Sanskrit, ancient Greek and Persian languages to be translated into Arabic. Between 600-1300 C.E., this was the era that allowed Islamic Empires to be developed and highlighted a positive change in this region
