Importance of Baghdad in Islamic History

The source of the name “Baghdad” is under some question. Some state it originates from an Aramaic expression that signifies “sheep walled in the area” (not extremely lovely). Others fight that the word originates from antiquated Persian: “bagh” which means God, and “Dad” which means gift: “The gift of God”. In around 762 CE, the Abbasid administration assumed control over the standard of the immense Muslim world and moved the cash-flow to the recently established city of Baghdad. Throughout the following five centuries, the city would turn into the world’s focal point of instruction and culture. This time of brilliance has turned out to be known as the “Brilliant Age”.
