How 1,000 years of Arabic scholarship advanced scientific debate – in pictures From the 9th to the 19th centuries, scholars and scribes used Arabic as a lingua franca to debate scientific ideas. Arabic-speaking scholars translated classical Greek, Persian and even Sanskrit texts on topics such as medicine, mathematics and astronomy. These scholars went far beyond translation and preservation and fostered a unique and vibrant scientific culture within the Arabic-speaking world. The British Library and Qatar Foundation have joined forces to launch a new bilingual online portal, the Qatar Digital Library, providing free access to 25,000 pages of fascinating medieval Arabic manuscript. Here’s a selection of some of the most influential scientific texts in history.  This text was the most influential and enduring astronomical text to have survived from the ancient world. Its Arabic translation had an immense impact on the late antique and medieval world view in both Christian and Islamic lands. The Almagest manuscript was completed in 615.

vedaxcool:Is it not amazing that this aspect of Muslims/Arabs input and advancement in science has been completely neglected when discussing Islamic civilization? I sometimes shudder at the rate at which non Muslims lie to paint Islam as backward and anti science. I think we need to project these kinds of information to the public in order to correct a lot of misinformation being bandied around especially on this site! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Empiree: You are right, but i want to believe that there are just few obnoxious fellows especially on the religion section, who would always want to see things only through their bigotry, these are the Islamophobes and the fanatics which i can only equate to the Terrorists... A well educated and objective individual would appreciate these kinds of information, and there happens to be lots of innocent youths who might not have the opportunity to research into this aspect of history. Also, we all need to remind ourselves of this rich heritage which should spur us into retracing our steps and getting back on track to achieving Islam. |

Empiree:This is actually a nice thread. But it is not meant to be in this section because only your fellow Muslims would see it. For example, before I could comment, I had to accept that i am a Muslim, which I'm not. Hence, if u want to educate people about ur religion, post this thread where it would be accessible to all. |
