There are, with no doubt, contributions of various nations and communities with different beliefs to the civilization that Muslims constituted. In fact, Islamic History is the history of political, cultural and social relations which several nations formed together. Turks, who have an old history, had remarkable civilization, scientific works before they chose Islamic religion. It is a historical reality that Turks came to Islamic lands after they became Muslims, and marked an Abbasid period of the century between 850 and 950.
