穆斯林征服各地，是为了把伊斯兰的达瓦传播给当地的人民。传播伊斯兰达瓦的性质，决定了必然会出现一场文化运动。这是因为伊斯兰是一种需要学习、研究和阅读的信息，其本质就要求人们对它进行学习和理解。信仰它的人，需要学习任何能够提升生活水平的知识。因此，许多开拓各地的人都是学者（乌理玛）、精通《古兰经》诵读的诵读家（qari'een），以及能够书写的抄写员（katibeen）。他们随行的有学者、诵读家和抄写员，以便在新征服的土地上施教，因为每一块被征服的土地上都会建起清真寺，用于礼拜，并用于教导男人、妇女和儿童。乌理玛承担起教导民众《古兰经》、圣训和教法的责任，也承担起传播伊斯兰的责任。因此，这场文化运动的目标是教授和传播伊斯兰，它是一场伊斯兰的文化运动。然而，除此之外，它还包括历史、语言和文学方面的内容。

The Muslims conquered lands in order to carry the Islamic Da’wah to its people. The nature of carrying the Islamic Da’wah necessitates the presence of a cultural movement. This is because Islam is a message which requires study, research and reading and since its very nature necessitates that it is studied and understood. It requires the one who has conviction in it to study anything that has an effect in elevating the standard of life. Thus, many of those people who opened up lands were scholars (ulama), proficient in the recitation of the Qur’ān (qari’een), and those who could write (katibeen). They were accompanied by the scholars, reciters and scribes so as to teach in the newly conquered lands because in every conquered land a mosque would be built for prayer and for the purpose of teaching men, women and children. The Ulama were the ones who assumed the responsibility of teaching the people the Qur’ān, hadīth and ahkām. They also assumed the responsibility of spreading Islam. Thus, the cultural movement aimed at teaching and spreading Islam. It was an Islamic cultural movement. However, in addition to that it also used to include historical, linguistic and literary aspects.
