The medieval period in Pursat was marked by the wars with and eventual occupation by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. During this time, Pursat became a crossroads of cultures and religions, with {{wp|Coptic Christianity}} and Islam coexisting alongside traditional Pursati beliefs. Intellectual pursuits flourished under Arab rule, with Pursat's scholars making significant contributions to fields like mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. Pursati architecture also underwent a transformation, incorporating Islamic influences into its designs. The Beys of Pursat, as the Caliphal province was called, were very wealthy and respected among the Caliphal court.
 
It was during this time that the {{wp|Druze faith}} was founded in Pursat and many of the {{wp|Coptic Christians}} converted as it was most aligned with Islam and therefore more tolerated by the Arab Beys.
