List of Muslim States and Dynasties
(This article lists some of the states, empires, or dynasties that were ruled by a Muslim elite, or which were
in some way central to or a part of a Muslim empire.)
All the disparate Islamic Empires can all be traced back to Muhammad, as the founder not only of the
Islamic faith but also the first leader of the Muslim people.
Scholars debate what exactly constitutes an empire. One definition defines an empire as a state that extends
dominion over areas and populations culturally and ethnically distinct from the culture/ethnicity at the center
of power.
