Constantine converts to Christianity. This historic time was when Christianity finally was legalized and made the formal faith. The persecution of Christians was brought to an end. Now even the emperor, the most powerful person of the empire was practicing the faith.

The bishops of the faith came together to discuss their differences. They declared that Jesus was of one substance with the Father. They condemned Arius and Arianism.

The last presence of Islam on the Iberian peninsula.

Martin Luther was a German monk who posted the complaints about the churches selling indulgences. He had experienced an enlightenment that justification to the lord could be achieved by faith alone. He did not think that the indulgences needed to be bought. He was excommunicated and barely escaped with his life. However, his teaching gathered many followers and his ideas spread across all of Europe.

This was a time of science and reasonable thinking. Things were studied and many drifted away from religion. However, all through out this time period there were also times of big religious revival and faith. It was at the time a large controversy. Some of the important ministers of the time who created religious faith with their sermons were George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards. John Wesley approached it differently than his friend Whitefield and he founded the Methodists.

The Revelations of Muhammad happened over a period of twenty three years, in which the Qur an was revealed to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. This caused the formation of Islam led by the prophet Muhammad and impacted the world by creating a new religion that relied on forming religion based empires to spread their religion, as opposed to preexisting empires. Islam is now the second largest religion in the world and the fastest growing.

A plot to assassinate Muhammad was discovered, so Muhammad quickly fled to Medina with his followers. He would late go back to Mecca with his followers and conquer it. This pilgrimage allowed of the continuation of Islam and avoided it s persecution. Present day muslims also make a journey to Mecca as one of the high pillars of Islam, the hajj.

The Fertile Crescent is noted throughout history as a place of great innovation and agricultural surplus. Muslim control of the Fertile Crescent was a crucial cornerstone in enlarging and spreading Islam through it s wonderful location. Because of the growth of Islam and the control of the Fertile Crescent, this area remains highly muslim today.

The Qur an is important because it helped to spread the message of Islam. It gave an outlet so that anyone could learn about the faith and allowed the record of Muhammad s teaching and findings to never be altered. The Qur an is still important in Islam today for the same reasons it was important throughout history. It gives an outlook on what Islam is all about.

Although this was more of an Islamic failure because the Franks stopped Islamic progression into Europe, it still evolved Islam and led to the development of the religion. The failure at Tours represented the end of Islamic expansion and is probably one of the reasons that Islam isn t the largest religion in the world today. This allowed Islam to build on their previous accusations instead of continuing expansion.

During his reign, Islam reached a sort of golden age with innovation across multiple areas of life rapidly increasing. The most notable achievement can be seen in the writing of One Thousand and One Nights, whose modern version is commonly named Arabian Nights. This piece of literature is impotent throughout history and is a classic example of certain examples of satire and storytelling.

During the reign of Ma mun a large controversial theological debate arose, questioning the difference between how eternal the Qur an is. Baghdad was also a center for text translation during this time causing scholars from around the Islamic world to flock to the city. This was another stepping stone in portraying Islam as a well thought out religion and providing growth throughout the world. This led to several documents being available to us today, that otherwise would be forever lost in history.

This was a war between Christianity and Isam. The Jews were expected to convert to Christianity and help fight against the Muslims. Failure to do so resulted in their death. This tested the faith of many Jews and rehashed discrimination towards Jews.

Averroes or Ibn Rushd, is arguably the most important philosopher to come out of Islam, even Dante puts him next to Aristotle in one of his books. He combined ideas from religion and logic and transformed a lot of people s views. His work caused Aristotle s work to be popularized, leading to several scholarly developments in the Middle Ages.

Saladin self-declared himself ruler of Egypt and Syria and led the Muslim opposition against the Franks and Crusades. Through his leadership, Muslim forces were able to put an end to the chaotic crusades and allowed the recapturing of certain places that had been seized such as Palestine. Yet instead of being hated by Europeans, he was more often than not respected because of his chivalrous ways.
