Social
Islam's holy book called the Qur'an developed during the Golden Age. The Qur'an teaches Muslims to respect all people of faith and not seek to destroy people or their property. It encouraged everyone to strive to live their lives full of learning and knowledge. However, Muslims did not force, but encouraged others to convert to Islam.
