Hinduism is considered a religious philosophy that encompasses cultural traditions, values and beliefs obtained through different peoples. Going through constant adaptations until reaching what is known today, Hinduism was divided into phases to better present its history.

In the first phase, called Vedic Hinduism, tribal gods such as Dyaus (god of the sky, supreme god) were worshiped who generated other gods. In the second phase, from adaptations of other religions, Brahmanic Hinduism arose that worshiped the trinity composed of Brahma (divinity of the universal soul), Vishnu (preserving divinity) and Shiva (destroying divinity).

In the third phase, different adaptations are perceived, influenced by religions from Christianity, Islam and others. Hybrid Hinduism then emerged as the aggregation of diverse influences.

Islam is a religion that arose in the Arabian Peninsula, in the beginning of the 7th century, through Muhammad (known in Portuguese as Muhammad). This religious belief is currently the second largest in the world, with around 1.8 billion believers, most of them located in Asia and Africa.

Islam is the contribution of the Arabic word islam. That word, in that language, means submission and is derived from salam, which means peace. The sense of peace mentioned does not refer to the concept of war, but to a condition of peace between body and spirit.

The faithful adherent to Islam is known as Muslim or Muslim, and these terms also originate in the Arabic language. These words come from muslim, which means submissive, therefore, within the Islamic faith, Muslim is one who is submissive to God, called Allah.

the factors that the economies of the muslim empires prosper were:

1- land trade routes-located between three continents  

2- sea trade routes

trade contributed to the spread of muslim empires, and with that islamic culture led to a growing feeling of internationalism resulted in the transfer of technology, science, and other cultural forms.
