Literature in the Golden Age of Islam has impacted the world to this day. A well-known individual of this time, Averroes, avidly translated and preserved Aristotle’s scientific observations. He also authored his own pieces of writing on Islamic religion and philosophy. Rumi, a famous poet, delved into a more artistic side of literature and generated poems on passion as well as devotion to the Islamic faith; dozens of these poems are still admired and read. Finally, one novel widely revered in the modern and ancient world is One Thousand and One Nights, a collection of short stories for readers.
