The translation movement in Arab progressed in development during the Abbasid period. The Abbasid period encompassed one of the very critical markers in the movement's history, that is, the translation of the central texts of the Islamic religion, in this case, the Quran. The translation movement in Arab was a movement that was greatly supported under the rule of Islamic, which caused the translation of materials to Arabic from different languages like middle Persian. The translation movement was instigated by the Barmakids. Available documents depict that Persian texts were greatly privileged by the translation movement.

The movement succeeded in forming civilization overlap and initiated new maps in the fields of culture and politics. Islamic rulers participated in the movement in numerous ways, for example, creating classes for translation to facilitate its flow all through the various phases of the Islamic empire. The translation movement had a significant effect on developing the scientific knowledge of the Arabs since various theories in science had surfaced from various origins. Late, there was the introduction of the western culture to the Arabic translations that were preserved since most of their initial scripts could not be located.

Khalidi and Dajani (2015), argue that one of the last Empire of Persia before Islam ascended was the Sasanian Empire. Before Islam rose, there was no system for Arabic writing. Arabs could learn different languages, like Syriac as well as Aramaic, to attainability to communicate effectively whenever they were out for trading. They made their journey in what was referred to as summer and winter caravan. Normally in these journeys, one of the Arab tribes that are considered to be famous, that is, the Quraysh would lead them. The translation is known to date back to when the second century was at the helm. This is the time when the Syriacs are believed to have transformed their original customs as well as beliefs into Arabic.

The ninth king of Sassanid, Shapur the second, established the Academy of Gondishapur, which was to be a medical center, a library, as well as a college were various subjects like anatomy, theology, medicine, and philosophy would be taken. Later, Khosrow established an observatory that could offer studies in dentistry, architecture, agriculture and irrigation, basics of commanding in military, astronomy, and mathematics. The Academy of Gondishapur was then considered as the greatest crucial center of medicine during the sixth as well as the seventh century. However, during the seventh century CE, the Empire of Sasanian fall into the hands of the Muslim armies, but they preserved the center.

The golden age of Islamic was regarded as the landmark for the translating of the Arabic variety of languages. Muhammad, who found the Islam religion and a prophet at the same time, delivered information to various political leaders as well as societies such as Persia, Rome, and Syria, which neither spoke nor understood Arabic, requesting them to regard the adoption of his found religion, that is Islam. This resulted in Muhammad searching a private scribe who would be entitled to the responsibilities of translations of the Arabic information to the various languages that were possessed by those receiving the information and motivating Muslims to acquire and learn new foreign languages. Zayd Thabit, who was the most competent scribe entitled to Muhammad, was entitled to the learning of Persin, Syriac, as well as Hebrew to be able to communicate in the Jewish language with the Jews. The major criteria that Islam incorporated were to motivate others to look for knowledge since they thought that understanding how Allah related to the creation was the most appropriate way of understanding the universe. This criterion was a significant concept that motivated the spreading of their religion throughout the world.

When Muhammad died in 632 CE, caliphs that are considered as Rightly Guided Caliphs were chosen to lead the Empire of Islam, the information of the Quran was becoming more known in the surrounding civilizations. There was an expansion of the Islamic empire, leading to searching of multilingual teachers as well as people to translate and teach the Quran and the Arabic language. Later, the Quran would be incorporated into one language.

Translation attained more propulsion in the times of Umayyad, and therefore, Arab rose to be the official as well as the popular language in the Islamic Empire. Arabs were now facing the Greek's knowledge, the majority originating from the scholars that remained during the period of Byzantine. The main factor that led to the translation of the Arabic materials were the Syriacs since, as the Arabs could not understand the language in Greek, Syriacs had understood the language for more than ten centuries. When the fourth Umayyad caliph ruled as a king, translating the documents that were regarded official, as well as treaties in astronomy and medicine, began to happen. The songs in Byzantine and Persian were translated too. During this period, Greek gnomologia, such as Aristotle's, were translated and affected the poetry in Arabic later.

A polyglot who was considered to be fluent in almost all the targeted languages was regarded as among the greatest translators during that time. He majored in the medical field. Through a hand from his son, Ishaq Hunayn, as well as his nephew, Habash, he translated more than ninety-five pieces of Galen, almost fifteen pieces of Hippocrates, about the soul, and about generation as well as corruption. The Arabic language extensively expanded to reach communities in places such as Morocco and Andalusia and would later be adapted as their language that was regarded as official. The Umayyad caliphs greatly helped in translating science as well as arts, which gave out a long-term foundation for the Empire of Islam. While Islam expanded, there was the preservation of other cultures by the Muslims and the utilization of technology and their knowledge of science in the efforts of stimulating their language to develop.

The translation movement of the Arabs continually developed through the Abbasid period. This period encompassed the most significant markers in the movement history, that is, the translation of the major religious text of Islam, the Quran. The second Abbasis caliph, Abu Muhammad al-Mansur, relocated the capital to Baghdad from where it was, that is, Damascus. In Baghdad, he commanded most of the science and philosophy articles to be translated and other literature that was in Greek, Persian, as well as Syriac languages into Arabic. During the rule of the fifth caliph, Harun, they established the house of wisdom to be the library for the many books that were translated. This house, however, borrowed much from the Academy of Gondishapur by incorporating its previous graduates. The House of Wisdom was later transformed into a center of translation.
