The Islamic Empire achieved greatness through trade, fostering a global network and spreading culture and technology. Advances in irrigation boosted farming, while social mobility allowed upward movement in society via religious, scholarly, or military accomplishments. Business practices like partnerships, credit systems, banking, checks, and accounting flourished. The empire also excelled in literature, architecture (including domes/minarets), calligraphy, and the arts, creating centers of learning with libraries and translated Greek philosophy. Mathematical breakthroughs in algebra, medical advancements like hospital testing and cataract treatment, and scholarly works demonstrated the empire's remarkable progress.
