Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | A deep historical study of the efforts of scientists in their areas of specializations will illustrate how they became significant contributors to knowledge in the modern era. This monograph will address ancient Islamic heritage in terms that show how the heritage of Islamic civilization is still alive in our time, having created for us important fields such as science, industry, and equipment. Most important is the rigorous scientific experimental method used in Islamic sciences, a method that reached for scientific truth with confidence and power and apart from illusions. I therefore consider the work of Muslim scholars from all geographical regions and comment upon the participation of scholars in this endeavor. This study's main intent is to condense this knowledge and present essential information to those who are interested in science and to provide seekers of knowledge, in particular, science Characteristics of the Islamic civilization -- Qurʼanic experimental method -- The impact of Islamic medicine on modern civilization and Islamic scientific heritage of medicine and pharmacy -- The impact of Islamic political theory on modern civilization -- Classical Muslim scholars' contribution to the fields of astronomy, geography, chemistry, physics, and ʻilm al-hiyal (mechanical engineering) |
