Abstract

It is one of the greatest libraries in history.,. As a result of the trend that the Islamic community knew at the time of urging people to seek knowledge. so those who are responsible for managing the general affairs of the vast Islamic Caliphate realize the necessity of having institutions and facilities concerned with enabling any individual to develop his capabilities through knowledge and education. They built major libraries, such as the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasids, and similar ones in major and important cities. What distinguished the libraries at that time was the diversity. There were mosques libraries, public libraries, school libraries, and even hospital libraries. The role of libraries has also developed into educational and training institutions and a place for copying books, and service works have risen from indexing, classification and lending. She organized the jobs and their supervisors. It outperformed its counterparts in the Christian West, which was praised by historians, travelers and orientalists.
