From the 7th century to17th century, in the name of Islam, a series of feudal dynasties, large and small, such as Umayya, Abbasi, Fatima, Sultanate of Delhi, India and Ottoman Empire of Turkey, were established. After more than a thousand years of historical vicissitudes, these prosperous feudal dynasties have become a thing of the past. However, Islam, as a world religion, has never declined.
Islam, as a national religion at first, then as the spiritual source of a feudal empire, then as a religious, cultural and political force, and a way of life of people, developed continuously all over the world, and even became one of the three major religions in the world in 2 1 century.
