Description:
"The seeker after the truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather the one who suspends his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration, and not to the sayings of a human being whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deficiency."
– Ibn al-Haytham

The House of Wisdom in Baghdad was the intellectual center of the Abbasid Caliphate. Originally the private collection of books of caliphs, it was turned into a public library and academy during the reign of the seventh caliph al-Ma’mun. The House of Wisdom was part of the Translation Movement of the Abbasid Caliphate, translating and preserving works from Greek and Syriac to Arabic, and witnessing an influx of prominent polymaths who would contribute to a multitude of fields of study. The House of Wisdom was a symbol of Islamic Golden Age, until it was destroyed in 1258 during the Mongol siege of Baghdad led by Hulegu.
