As we read about the great civilization of Islam we can see similarities in the way the empire matured and expanded, much the same way as other societies had , like Christendom and the Byzantium Empires.
Some of what we know comes from the writings of Ibn Battuta. As a Muslim he traveled throughout the empire chronicling his observations through the eyes of a devout Muslim during the years between 1304 to 1368.
The civilization of Islam operated as a network of political power as opposed to a central hierarchy. The empire was so great it encompassed parts of all the kingdoms of the Afro-Eurasian hemisphere,from North Africa, India, Arabia, Anatolia, ,Spain, and South East Asia, becoming as Strayer says in his book, "histories first-global civilization".
