The three Muslims Empires of the 1300-1700 time period made significant contributions to the world, but did not come to dominate world affairs because of a decline in their empire due to unreasonable choices of religion, economics, and such, made by the rulers of these empires. The time of the Muslim Empires was a period of prosperity, and rise of greatness. Yet, like all empires, the three Muslim Empires, the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals faced the inevitable state of a falling empire. Suleyman, ruler of the Ottoman Empire killed his ablest son and drove another to exile, which set a pattern for later sultans to gain and hold power. The sons of the sultans would be cut off from education and the world, which led to a long line of weak sultans which led to the fall of the Ottoman Empire. For the Mughal Empire, after Akbar’s death, the empire declined because of no religious toleration. Unlike Akbar, the rulers after him did not give religious toleration. There was also an economic problem of an increase in taxes do non Muslims which angered the people more and eventually led to the fall of the empire. The Safavid Empire also began to decline due to the death of the leader, Shah Abbas killed his most talented sons like Suleyman, which also led him having a weak and ineffective grandson become shah after him. Due to his grandson, the empire’s power went to ruins. Clearly the methods of these leaders of the Muslim Empires brought their empire to fall and prevented them from rising to world dominance because the methods they used angered the people, or were not effective ways helped there empire become greater than it was at the time. The specific reasons explain the failure Muslim Empires at that time by showing how all of the great power and greatness could fall with just small mistakes like such could bring the empires down. The Muslim Empires were one of the most powerful empires of their time, yet did not come to dominate world affairs due to the unruly choices of the rulers. Yet the Muslim Empires left a great impact to the world, even today. Despite the fall of the great empires, the Muslim Empires truly shows a time of greatness and power.
