Give a critical study of the intellectual development of the Saracens in Baghdad? (2012)
What examiner is asking in this question? what sort of development? i mean which area? for example, if scientific development was asked, we could have written development in astronomy, biology , medicine etc, but what to write in intellectual development?
Stunner bhai, you are especially requested to answer.

A simple question on different fields the Muslims from Baghdad excelled in .. It would include medicine, astronomy, architecture and all other scientific fields .. Furthermore, do not forget to mention the poetry, calligraphy, philosophy etc .. So, it would include anything relating to knowledge, literacy and sciences etc ..
Mention of renowned scientists and philosophers is a must along with examples .. And do not forget that the question asks for 'development' .. Which means it was a continued process and you'd need to show the evolution of that process and enhancement in those people's intellectual abilities .. The methods which made them excel and standout .. In short, explain the times they started from to the times they perfected their fields .. Then in the critical analysis you must mention any shortcomings in that process .. Was it for the real development of Muslim society or was it simply a response to the Ommayyad Advancement in Spain / Europe .. ?
Feel free to ask anything further ..
Regards ..
