The Abbasid Caliphate (750–1258 CE) was the third Islamic caliphate, succeeding the Umayyads. Founded by Abu al-Abbas al-Saffah, it established its capital in Baghdad, transforming it into a vibrant cultural and intellectual hub. The Abbasids claimed legitimacy as descendants of Muhammad's uncle, al-Abbas, appealing to disenfranchised groups like non-Arab Muslims (mawali) who gained greater social inclusion under their rule. The caliphate marked the Islamic Golden Age, fostering advancements in science, medicine, philosophy, literature, and art. Scholars like Al-Khwarizmi and Al-Razi thrived, while institutions like the House of Wisdom in Baghdad emerged. Despite its cultural zenith, the Abbasid Caliphate faced political fragmentation, losing direct control over provinces to regional powers like the Fatimids and Seljuks. The Mongol sack of Baghdad in 1258 ended the Abbasid Caliphate, though a symbolic authority persisted in Cairo under Mamluk patronage. The Abbasid legacy profoundly influenced Islamic civilization and world history.
