خلافتِ اسلامیہ میں بین الاقوامی تجارت کے چند اہم مراکز Some important centers of international trade in Islamic Caliphate Section Islamic Literature

Abstract

During the Rashidah and the Abbasid period, Special attention was paid to the establishment of international trade centers in the Islamic Caliphate. Even before the Prophet's era, the city of Makkah had the status of an international trade market due to its geographical position and Religious sanctity. Fairs like Uqaz and Zul Majaz held in different areas of Hijaz had become commercial centers. In the era of Hazrat Umar, "Ublah" was the center of Arabia from a commercial point of view, which was a port for ships coming from Oman, Bahrain, Persia, India and China. Similarly, from the point of view of trade, the Abyssinia was a commercial center for Quraysh. During the Abbasid era, Baghdad had become the largest commercial center in the world, which was the center of Islamic civilization and culture, industry and trade in the East. Apart from Baghdad, al-Karkh, Basra, Mosul, Samarra, Kufa, Azerbaijan, Jeddah, Sajistan, Isbahan were also major trade centers. In this era, trade flourished due to the improvement of infrastructure and law and order situation. Similarly, in the 6th century AD, there was a significant trade between China and Arabia through Salon. Because of the Arab regions, most of the products of the eastern countries reached the ports of Syria and the eastern Mediterranean. In short, special attention was paid to international trade centers in the Islamic Caliphate, due to which products from different regions of the world, including India, China, Africa and Europe, were always available throughout the Islamic kingdom.
