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. | |||
