Musulmon imperiyasi xukmdorlari va zadagonlari yuz yillar davomida madaniy rivojlanishni qo‘llab quvvatlab kelganlar. Yangi o‘quv muassasalarini ochganlar,

o‘ziga xos me’morchilikni rivojlantirganlar, kitob nashr qilish va badiiy hunarmandchilikning taraqqiyotini rag‘batlantirganlar⁶. Amir Temur va temuriylar davrida ham madaniyat yuksak darajada taraqqiy qilgan.
For centuries, Muslim elites had generously funded cultural development. As the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires gained greater expanses of territory, they acquired new resources to fund more such pursuits. Rulers supported new schools and building projects, and the elite produced books, artworks, and luxury goods. Cultural life was connected to the politics of empire building, as emperors and elites sought greater prestige by patronizing intellectuals and artists.
