There was a great impact on the "civilization" and the "surrounding world" of the "Muslim Golden Age".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Muslim Golden Age inaugurated the "House of Wisdom" in Baghdad, starting the reign of the "Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid". Here, the scholars from different regions of the world came together and translated all of the classical knowledge of the world into the Arabic Language.
  • Major Islamic cities i.e., capital of Cordoba, Baghdad, and Cairo turned into main intellectual centers for science, medicine, philosophy and education.
  • Centers for "learning" and "transmission" of "classical wisdom" were practiced in the "School of Nisibis" as well as in the "School of Edessa".
  • The House of Wisdom became a library, academy and translation institute where as the Library of Constantinople and the Library of Alexandria incorporated new works of the literature.
