Note: Al-Ma’mun, also known as Abu al-Abbas Abdullah ibn Harun al-Rashid, was the seventh Abbasid caliph. The reign of Al-Ma’mun’s reign was characterized by significant economic prosperity, cultural advancement, and political stability within the Abbasid Caliphate. His patronage of scholarship and learning, along with his efforts to promote religious tolerance and intellectual inquiry, left a lasting legacy on the Islamic world. Nishapur, located in the Khorasan region of present-day Iran, was an important center for trade, culture, and scholarship during this period.
