The Place of Libraries in the History of the Islamic World

Libraries in the Islamic world were considered, first of all, an important place for preserving the Quran and Hadith and transmitting them perfectly to future generations. Later, they served as the basis for the emergence of large scientific institutions. Gradually, these scientific institutions turned into large academies that promoted and researched both religious and secular knowledge. Book treasures also played a significant role in the emergence of scientific institutions such as "Bayt ul-Hikma" and "Ma'mun Academy".
