Islam pada Masa Tiga Kerajaan Besar

Abstract

This article examines the development of Islam during the era of three great empires: the Ottoman Empire, the Mughal Empire, and the Safavid Dynasty. Using qualitative library research methodology, this study explores the roles and contributions of these three empires to Islamic civilization. The Ottoman Empire, as the guardian of Sunni Islam, reached its peak of political and cultural glory under Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. The Mughal Empire in India, with its inclusive policies under the reign of Akbar the Great, created harmony among religions and made significant contributions to Islamic art and architecture. The Safavid Dynasty in Persia, strengthening Shia Islam as the state religion, made significant contributions to the development of Shia theology and monumental architecture in Isfahan.

The interaction among these three empires was not only through political conflicts but also through cultural exchange, knowledge sharing, and trade, enriching the development of Islam in these regions. The historical analysis in this article reveals how Islam evolved and adapted in different political, social, and cultural contexts under the rule of these three great empires. The results of this research provide deep insights into the roles and influences of Islam in the history of these three great empires and their contributions to world Islamic civilization.
