HISTORY OF ISLAM (PART 1)

-

                   

 The history of Islam concerns the political, social, economic and cultural developments of Islamic civilization. Most historians[1] accept that Islam originated in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century CE, approximately 600 years after the founding of Christianity. Muslims regard Islam as a return to the original faith of the prophets, such as Jesus, Solomon, David, Moses, Abraham, Noah and Adam, with the submission (islam) to the will of Allah, God

According to tradition, in 610 CE, the Islamic Prophet Muhammad began receiving what Muslims consider to be divine revelations, calling for submission to the one God, the expectation of the imminent Last Judgement, and caring for the poor and needy.[5] Muhammad's message won over a handful of followers and was met with increasing opposition from Meccan notables.[6] In 622, a few years after losing protection with the death of his influential uncle Abu Talib, Muhammad migrated to the city of Yathrib (now known as Medina). With Muhammad's death in 632, disagreement broke out over who would succeed him as leader of the Muslim community during the Rashidun Caliphate.

QUANTUM COMPUTING

  Quantum computing   is the use of   quantum   phenomena such as   superposition   and   entanglement   to perform   computation . Computers that perform quantum computations are known as   quantum computers . [1] :I-5   Quantum computers are believed to be able to solve certain   computational problems , such as   integer factorization   (which underlies   RSA encryption ), substantially faster than classical computers. The study of quantum computing is a subfield of   quantum information science . Quantum computing began in the early 1980s, when physicist  Paul Benioff  proposed a  quantum mechanical  model of the  Turing machine . [2]   Richard Feynman  and  Yuri Manin  later suggested that a quantum computer had the potential to simulate things that a  classical computer  could not. [3] [4]  In 1994,  Peter Shor  developed a quantum...

  By the 8th century, the  Umayyad Caliphate  extended from  Iberia  in the west to the  Indus River  in the east. Polities such as those ruled by the Umayyads and  Abbasid Caliphate  (in the  Middle East  and later in  Spain  and  Southern Italy ),  Fatimids ,  Seljuks ,  Ayyubids  and  Mamluks  were among the most influential powers in the world. Highly persianized empires built by the  Samanids ,  Ghaznavids ,  Ghurids  made significant developments. The  Islamic Golden Age  gave rise to many centers of culture and  science  and produced notable  polymaths ,  astronomers ,  mathematicians ,  physicians  and  philoso phers  during the  Middle Ages . By the early 13th century, the  Delhi Sultanate  conquered the northern  Indian subcontinent , while Turkic dynasties like the  Sultanat...
