Contribution of Islam to the worlds civilization.
Founded in the seventh century, Islam has had a major impact on world society. During the Golden Age of Islam, major intellectual discoveries and advancements were made in philosophy, language, math, science, astronomy and medicine. The effects of this Islamic intellectual activity remains today.
Europe even failed to learn from Muslim Spain, which played a vital role in the revolution of science. Cordoba, capital of Muslim Spain, was known for its scientific advances. Scholars and students from all over the world travelled to Cordoba to study. The vast contrast in intellectual activity could be demonstrated by just one example.
This paper will try to shed a light on few works that have been carried out by the Muslim scholars. However, it focuses on the contributions of Muslim scholars in Mathematics, Physics and Medicine.
The growth of Islam in the seventh century sparked a golden age of scientic discovery. Building on the wisdom of ancient civilizations, Muslim doctors pushed the boundaries of medical science into.
Science and technology in Medieval Islam Chemistry and Alchemy Chemistry was not practised as a separate science in Medieval Islam, but it formed an important part of other industries such as metal-working, ceramic manufacture, pharmacy and dyeing. A huge amount of practical knowledge of substances and processes was gained.
This is a list of Muslim scientists who have contributed significantly to science and civilization in the Islamic Golden Age (i.e. from the 8th century to the 14th century).
In reminding the Muslim world today of the likes of al-Kindi, al-Khwarizmi, ibn Sina and ibn al-Haytham and their rich scientific and scholarly heritage, and how current understanding of the natural world has been due in no small part to the contributions of Arabic science, that sense of pride can be instilled which could propel the importance of scientific enquiry back to where it belongs.
