Yes.
At a time..Alexander The Great
At one time some of the countries in Africa were part of the British empire. Now they are independent, but some are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, an organisation that has some of the old British empire countries as members.
During the reign of Hammurabi, the Babylonia Empire controlled the cities of Babylon, Ur, Uruk, Lagash, Kish, ad several others. Biblical records tell us that Babylon controlled the Levant, including Jerusalem, for a time The territories of modern countries that were within the Babylonian empire at one time or another include Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon, Palestine , Israel and Cyprus.
During the gupta empire time family life was simple the man worked and the female stayed at home and watched the kids and took care of the house.
The answer you are looking for is: Baghdad. However, it is not actually correct for the question as phrased. The Abbassids were not the last Islamic Empire, Qajjar Persia was. It just happens that the Abbassids were the last Arab-Islamic Empire. Additionally, Baghdad was sacked by the Mongols, who were not Muslims at that time.
Countries at that time: the Islamic Empire. The Islamic Empire in 632 C.E. occupies the modern states of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain.
One dynasty which was around during the time of the Romans was the (247 BC - 224 AD) which ruled the Parthian Empire, the third of the four Persian pre-Islamic empires. Another dynasty was the Sasanian dynasty (224-651) which ruled the Sasanian Empire, the fourth pre-Islamic Persian empire.
For most of the time of the Roman empire, there was no African country to its south. Rome ruled the entire north African coastline up to an including some of the dessert. In the area of present day Sudan there were minor kingdoms which rose and fell, and some kingdoms in Ethiopia. There may have been southern African kingdoms at the time of the Romans also.
By the time Muhammad died, ALL of Arabia was either directly controlled by the Islamic Empire or was in vassalage to the Islamic Empire. It was only when Caliph Abu Bakr succeeded Muhammad that some of the Sheikhs questioned whether they were part of the Islamic Empire in perpetuity. The Ridda Wars, where Abu Bakr forcibly reunited Arabia under the Green Flag, ended that question affirmatively for the Muslims.
I am not sure what "the" Islamic Empire is. There have twenty-five or so different Islamic Empires. However, there are some territories that the Ottomans conquered which had never been conquered before by any Islamic Empire. These territories were primarily in southeastern Europe and included, Constantinople/Istanbul, Greece, and most of its islands, all of the Yugoslav countries, Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary and assorted pieces from other bordering European nations. Additionally, the Ottoman Empire brought Eritrea and Djibouti into an Islamic Empire for the first time.
There is not just one Islamic Empire, there are over 25 different Islamic Empires. Therefore, there is not just one date that serves as "the peak". However, Islamic society in general was at its highest point of growth and ingenuity in the 9th and 10th centuries, especially in the cities of Baghdad, Iraq and Toledo, Spain.
The person you are looking for is Ibn Battuta, but he did not travel to EVERY Islamic Empire, strictly those that existed while he was alive. (There were numerous Islamic Empires that no longer existed by the time he was born and numerous others that would form after he died.)
At the time of Mohammed's death, the Islamic Empire included all of the following modern countries: Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait. However, there was some Islamic Influence in Persia (modern day Iran and Iraq) because of Islamic envoys like the Apostle Salman the Persian.
An absolute monarchy, which was a parliamentary democracy for a relatively brief time during its history, whose ruler was called a Shah and the last dynasty of the empire was the Pahlavi. The name Persian empire was changed to Iran during the 20th century.The Empire became an Islamic Republic after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Alexander died at the age of 32. His time as king was spent conquering the Persian Empire and was too brief for any significant other activities. This lay with his successors who created kingdoms (the Hellenistic Kingdoms) when they seized parts of his empire after his death.
