The 8th to the 13th century was known as the Golden Age of Islam for good reason. During that time, the world saw the most ingenious concepts come to life. Leonardo Da Vinci wasn’t the first one to come up with designs - Abbas ibn Firnas was. The first university in the world was founded by a Muslim woman - Fatima al Fihri. The Abbasid governor of Egypt, Ahmad ibn Tulum, was known to have created the first medical center - that provided free of cost care - that became the foundation of hospitals today.
The coffee we cannot seem to live without today? Had been used by sufis and mullahs four centuries before it reached Europe. And while we all hated algebra in school, we can’t deny the impact Al-Khwarizmi had on the mathematical world with it.
Could any of us imagine our lives today without any of these?
Muslims have always been innovators and creators who have shaped the world as we know it. One may think the Golden Age of Islam is long gone, but we can assure you it isn't.
The House of Wisdom - a library built in Baghdad - is where the Golden Age can trace its origins back to. It acted as a central hub for writers, scientists, scholars, mathematicians and poets to gather not only to enhance their own intelligence, but also to interact and exchange ideas, debate and work through solutions for the collective good. The House of Wisdao, similarly, is an organization for people who wish to see and be the change the world needs today.
Technological advancement has incorporated itself into every aspect of life today. Blockchain technology — and in particular, — enable people to coordinate and organize around shared values at scales that were previously unprecedented.
And with House of Wisdao, you can be a pioneer of modern innovation too.
At the House of Wisdao, our NFTs are one-of-a-kind, and not just in a literal sense. They not only aim to show what it means to be Muslim and proud, but they are also filled with purpose and utility - and your data is secure on the DAO, since there’s no central authority that would take any share of information.
The underlying message behind each of our NFTs’ designs is to show how there is “Unity in Diversity” when it comes to our global community. Regardless of our geographic location, cultures, beliefs and even our sense of style - we’re all united in the Web3 Ecosystem, and we all look out for one another.
Our NFT collections will evolve with time and experience, resulting in changes to the rights and benefits that the different tiers of our NFTs and collections convey.
