Dar Al-Islam literally means "house of Islam" (or country of Islam, place of Islam, abode of Islam, etc.). Muhammed, the prophet and central figure of the Islamic religion, established both Islam and a momentous political movement based on Islam before his death in the 7th century CE. In the years after his death, judges and politicians developed methods of administering the Islamic Middle East; part of this was defining the world they lived in. The lands under sovereign Muslim rule: the Dar Al-Islam.

The Dar Al-Islam encompassed the Islamic Middle East, but it was not limited to the Middle East. Islam found a strong following among the Turks and Mongols of Eastern Asia and later in Northern India, all during the Medieval Era. From Europe to East Asia, the Dar Al-Islam knew many environments of the world.

Most exemplary of the states of Dar Al-Islam were the caliphates, powerful states often ruled by descendants of the Prophet Muhammed. The caliphates held vast territories across multiple continents, remarkably connecting the Medieval worlds of Europe, Africa, and Asia, but the centers of their power were always in the Middle East. Historically, the cities of Damascus and Baghdad have acted as epicenters of Islamic rule from the Middle East.

The third Islamic caliphate the Abbasid Caliphate of Baghdad (750-1258 CE) was ruled by the Abbasid Dynasty, descendants of Muhammed's bloodline. At its beginning, the Abbasid Caliphate oversaw an extensive centralized state in the Middle East and North Africa, but its dominion fractured as new Islamic states rose (all still within the ever-changing Dar Al-Islam). The Dar Al-Islam of the Middle East was characterized by its extensive trade networks and quickly growing cities in seemingly barren deserts.

As previously stated, Dar Al-Islam expanded well beyond the Middle East. By the 12th and 13th centuries, Islam had heavily influenced the steppe tribes of Central Asia, particularly the Mongols of the Mongol Empire. Even though the Mongols invaded Dar Al-Islam (often siding with Christians against cities in the Middle East), three of the four Khanates that derived from the original Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan officially converted to Islam. The bearers of the Islamic religion changed with time, but the religion remained.

Across the Mediterranean Sea, the Iberian Peninsula hosted the western vestiges of the fallen Umayyad Caliphate: Al-Andalus (called the Emirate of Crdoba from 750 to 929 and the Caliphate of Crdoba from 929 to 1031 CE). Even after the fall of the Umayyad Caliphate, the Islamic states of Al-Andalus persisted, often warring with the northern Iberian Catholic Kingdoms during the Reconquista until 1492, when the Catholics conquered all the peninsula.

As the influence of Dar Al-Islam waxed and waned over the Medieval Era, one factor remained constant: a wealth of goods flowed in the hands of Islamic traders. Whether by sailing in the Mediterranean or Indian Oceans, or in travelling by camelback across thousands of miles of desert, the Dar Al-Islam was the central junction between east and west for all the Medieval Era. But for as wealthy as the caliphates and sultanates were, their expenditures were equally impressive. Wars and political initiatives required taxation.

Fight those who believe not in God and in the Last Day, and who do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden, and who follow not the Religion of Truth among those who were given the Book, till they pay the jizyah with a willing hand, being humbled.

Within Baghdad, the second and most notable capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, was one of the most famous libraries in world history. The Grand Library of Baghdad, or House of Wisdom, was perhaps the largest learning center of its time. The scholars of the House of Wisdom spent generations collecting and building upon the written texts of the classical and ancient worlds, producing the most fantastic technological, mathematical, scientific, and astronomical innovations of the Medieval Era.

The House of Wisdom was the embodiment of the Islamic Golden Age, a period of great cultural and scientific progress not only for Dar Al-Islam but the Medieval world. Unfortunately, Baghdad was besieged in 1258 but Hulagu Khan of the Ilkhanate, a powerful Mongol warlord with hundreds of thousands at his command. The haughty sultan of Baghdad was forced to watch as his city, including the House of Wisdom, were tragically obliterated by the Mongol hordes.

Firstly, the death tolls of battles involving the Mongols were often grossly exaggerated by Medieval scholars to create a monstrous impression of their invaders. The Mongols accepted the exaggerations; they were happy when their enemies fled in fear.

Secondly, many perceive the Mongolians of the Mongol Empire as frothing brutes who mindlessly pillage and destroy. It is true that the Siege of Baghdad had terrible ramifications on the preservation of important texts, but it is also true that rape and wanton looting during sieges were punishable offenses in the Mongol laws set by Genghis Khan.

Dar Al-Islam spread, and it changed as it across both time and land. The Islamic states receded from the Iberian Peninsula and fought costly battles against the Crusaders and Mongols, but its influence continued into India and Central Asia, its homeland still in the Middle East. The dominant Islamic caliphates of the Medieval Era began to decline, replaced by new sultanates and empires, as seen with the Seljuk Turks, Mamluks, and soon the Ottoman Turks.

The disparate states within Dar Al-Islam often warred with each other as much as they warred with the lands of Dar Al-Harb, and worldly dominance soon shifted to Western Europe during the Early Modern and Modern Periods. But history still tells of an Islamic Golden Age where Dar Al-Islam nearly extended from the western to eastern shores of Eurasia, and when great cities produced innovations that changed world history forever.

Dar Al-Islam was a historical term used within Islam to describe the "house of Islam", meaning the territories under sovereign Islamic rule (mainly in the Middle East). The term is still in use today, but to a lesser extent.

The House of Wisdom within Baghdad exemplifies the greatness of the Islamic Golden Age within Dar Al-Islam, producing innovations that greatly affected the development of Dar Al-Islam and the greater world.

Dar Al-Islam began being used as a term used to describe the world of Islam shortly after Muhammed's death. Dar Al-Islam itself can be said to have started as the political powers and influence left behind from the works of Muhammed.

Dar Al-Islam was the center of scientific, cultural, mathematical, and technological development within the Medieval world. It's developments and innovations affected society within Dar Al-Islam and without.

On July 15, Khaled Khayat took another of his brothers to Sydney International Airport. Khaled had brought the explosive device with him, intending to place it in the baggage of his unsuspecting brother who was boarding an Etihad flight to Abu Dhabi.d However, Khaled aborted the plan at the last minute, leaving with the bomb while the brother boarded the plane without his luggage.15

It is unclear why they abandoned the plan at the airport. One possibility the police are investigating is that the luggage concealing the IED exceeded the weight limit.16 Regardless of the reason, Khaled took the device home and disassembled it with Mahmoud.

Provided the above allegations are accurate, the plot is distinctive among Islamic State plots within Western countries in three key ways: the manner in which the Islamic State provided logistical support, the targeting of an international airliner, and the subsequent intention to use a chemical device.e

A small proportion of virtually planned plots have gone beyond advice and involved the remote orchestration of logistical support. Sometimes virtual planners assisted these plots by sending money. Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian Islamic State operative based in Syria, wired money to finance operations in Indonesia.24 U.S.-based plotter Mohamed Elshinawy received money from the Islamic State sent through fraudulent eBay transactions.25 Sometimes logistical support was organized by contacting other individuals in the same country to provide equipment. For an intended attack in Hyderabad, India, the Islamic State arranged for the plotter to find a bag of pistols tied to a tree.26 The Islamic State similarly arranged for Sid Ahmed Ghlam, who planned a shooting attack against a French church in 2015, to find a bag of automatic weapons left for him in a parked car.27
