  • The Islamic Golden Age (Part 2 of 2)
    The Islamic Golden Age (part 2 of 2) Description: The second lesson on the ‘Golden Age’ of Islamic sciences and the contributions of Muslims to our civilization. By Imam Mufti (© 2015NewMuslims.com) Published on 14 Dec 2015 - Last modified on 25 Jun 2019 Category: Lessons >Social Interaction > The Muslim community Objectives · To learn about the institutions build by Muslim civilizations. · To learn about Muslim contributions to education, building libraries, environmentalism, geography, mathematics, and chemistry. Arabic Terms · Ummah - Refers to the whole Muslim community, irrespective of color, race, language or nationality. Quotation on Muslim Contribution to Civilization “…the civilization I’m talking about was the Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the courts of Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent. Although we are often unaware of our indebtedness to this other civilization, its gifts are very much a part of our heritage. The technology industry would not exist without the contributions of Arab mathematicians. Sufi poet-philosophers like Rumi challenged our notions of self and truth. Leaders like Suleiman contributed to our notions of tolerance and civic leadership. And perhaps we can learn a lesson from his example: It was leadership based on meritocracy, not inheritance. It was leadership that harnessed the full capabilities of a very diverse population–that included Christianity, Islamic, and Jewish traditions. This kind of enlightened leadership — leadership that nurtured culture, sustainability, diversity and courage — led to 800 years of invention and prosperity.” - Carly Fiorina, former CEO of HP, in a speech given in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sep 26, 2001 “Technology, Business, and Our Way of Life: What’s Next”.

  • History of Islamic Science
    History of Islamic Science George Sarton‟s Tribute to Muslim Scientists in the “Introduction to the History of Science,” ”It will suffice here to evoke a few glorious names without contemporary equivalents in the West: Jabir ibn Haiyan, al-Kindi, al-Khwarizmi, al-Fargani, Al-Razi, Thabit ibn Qurra, al-Battani, Hunain ibn Ishaq, al-Farabi, Ibrahim ibn Sinan, al-Masudi, al-Tabari, Abul Wafa, ‘Ali ibn Abbas, Abul Qasim, Ibn al-Jazzar, al-Biruni, Ibn Sina, Ibn Yunus, al-Kashi, Ibn al-Haitham, ‘Ali Ibn ‘Isa al- Ghazali, al-zarqab,Omar Khayyam. A magnificent array of names which it would not be difficult to extend. If anyone tells you that the Middle Ages were scientifically sterile, just quote these men to him, all of whom flourished within a short period, 750 to 1100 A.D.” Preface On 8 June, A.D. 632, the Prophet Mohammed (Peace and Prayers be upon Him) died, having accomplished the marvelous task of uniting the tribes of Arabia into a homogeneous and powerful nation. In the interval, Persia, Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, the whole North Africa, Gibraltar and Spain had been submitted to the Islamic State, and a new civilization had been established. The Arabs quickly assimilated the culture and knowledge of the peoples they ruled, while the latter in turn - Persians, Syrians, Copts, Berbers, and others - adopted the Arabic language. The nationality of the Muslim thus became submerged, and the term Arab acquired a linguistic sense rather than a strictly ethnological one. As soon as Islamic state had been established, the Arabs began to encourage learning of all kinds.

  • Where Did Copernicus Obtain the Tools to Build His Heliocentric
    Where Did Copernicus Obtain the Tools to Build His Heliocentric Model? Historical Considerations and a Guiding Translation of Valentin Rose’s “Ptolemaeus und die Schule von Toledo” (1874) Kevin Krisciunas Department of Physics and Astronomy, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843 USA and Bel´en Bistu´e CONICET, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina Abstract We present a translation of the German text of an 1874 article by Valentin Rose that concerns the possible school of translators that worked in Toledo, Spain, from about 1150 to 1250. Rose’s article relies significantly on the first-hand account of the activities in Toledo by the Englishman Daniel of Morley. The most prolific translator in Toledo was Gerard of Cremona, who translated Ptolemy’s Almagest from Arabic into Latin with the help of Galib the Mozarab; this translation was significant to Copernicus’s work. Georg Peurbach and Regiomontanus based their Epitome of the Almagest (1463) on Gerard’s translation, which in turn introduced Greek astronomy to astronomers in Italy and throughout Europe. Copernicus studied in Padua in the first few years of the sixteenth century, where he learned about Ptolemy’s Almagest. Copernicus’s book De Revolutionibus (1543) also contains two geometrical tools of astronomers from thirteenth century Maragha, and his model of the arXiv:1712.05437v1 [physics.hist-ph] 14 Dec 2017 − motion of the Moon is mathematically identical to that of Ibn al-Shat.ir (fourteenth century Damascus). A Greek language manuscript written prior to 1308, and the residence in Padua of Moses Galeano, a Jewish scholar from Constantinople and Crete, who was familiar with − the work of Ibn al-Shat.ir, provide evidence of the transmission of Arabic astronomical ideas to Copernicus.

    SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY PROGRESS DURING MEDIEVAL PERIOD WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO MEDICINE (750-945) Ashaq Hussain Centre of Central Asian Studies, University of Kashmir, India Email:[email protected] Abstract: During the Abbasid period, Muslim culture and civili- zation was at its zenith. It was a period of economic prosperity and of great intellectual awakening. The Abbasid Caliphate provided the most congenial atmosphere for the advancement of learning and education. In fact, the reign of Mamun-ar-Rashid who has deservedly been called the 'Augustus of Arabs' formed the culmi- nation of the intellectual achievements of the Muslims. He was followed by a brilliant succession of Caliphs who continued his work. Muslims gained access to the Greek medical knowledge of Hippocrates, Discords, and Galen through the translations of their works in the seventh and eighth centuries. These initiatives by Muslims could be seen in the different aspects of the healing arts that were developed. The translation movement of the twelfth century in Latin Europe affected every known field of science, none more so than medicine. The present paper is an attempt to give a detailed contribution of Muslims to science with special reference to medicine. It is in this context the present paper has been analyzed. Keywords: Abbasids, Science, Medicine, intellectual awakening, civilization A. Introduction Muslim concern of education has been an important aspect of the history of Islam.

    Timelines of Science (Islamic Civilization) Started in early 600 AD, Islam spread throughout Arab, Persia and entered Europe through Spain within next 150 years. 800-1452 AD is known as era when classical knowledge was revived and expanded by Muslim scholars attached to mosques and courts. When Muslims occupied Spain, they translated Greeks into Arabic and also Arabic texts into Latin. As a result Arabic work circulated throughout Europe and formed the basis of modern Science in Western civilization. This era can be called as Islamic and European renaissance. 750 AD Al-Fazari wrote a treatise on “astrolabe” – a device that transferred observations of celestial sphere on flat plate and helped perform complex astronomical calculations. 750 AD Arabs established textile industry in Spain. 762 AD First planned city (of known human history) was built in Baghdad by Arab Muslims. 771 AD Indian astronomical treatise was translated into Arabic. 775 AD Jabir Ibn Hayyan (722-804 AD) invented “alembic” flask (an enclosed flask to heat liquid). Ibn Hayyan is called father of Arabic Chemistry (Al Chemi). He established classification of substances into metal and non-metal. He identified properties of acid and alkalis. 810 AD Bayt al-Hikma (House of wisdom) was founded in Baghdad. This was word’s first research university with a largest library. It is found that word’s first university was found in 300 to 400 BCE in an ancient city called “Taxila” in today’s Pakistan. (This city still exists). It was Gundhara civilization and was completely destroyed by Alexander the Great. 830 AD Al-Khwarizmi described Algebra in his book.
