Muslims learned to make paper through the capture of Chinese papermakers during the Battle of Talas in 751 CE. This event facilitated the transfer of papermaking technology from China to the Islamic world. The Muslims adapted the techniques and raw materials available to them, leading to the establishment of paper mills throughout the region. This innovation greatly contributed to the spread of knowledge and literature in the Islamic Golden Age.
