Talking about medicine
It was through reading Arabic versions that Western doctors learned of Greek medicine, including the works of Hippocrates and Galen. Medieval and early modern scholars in Europe drew upon Islamic traditions and translations as the foundation for their medical enterprise. For example, Canon of Medicine (an encyclopedia of medicine in five books, which presented a clear and organized summary of all medical knowledge of the time) by Ibn Sina (Avicenna in the West) was translated into Latin and then disseminated in manuscript and printed form throughout Europe. During the 15th and 16th centuries alone, the Canon of Medicine was published more than 35 times. It is the most influential medical book of the Middle Ages. Besides Ibn Sina, the other Arab Islamic physicians who contributed to medical knowledge and influenced medical thinking in the West were Al Razi (Rhazes), Ibn Nafis, and Al-Zarawi.

Degree-Granting Universities

Speaking of universities, that is also an invention made possible by the Muslim world. Early on in Islamic history, mosques doubled as schools. The same people who led prayers would teach groups of students about Islamic sciences such as Quran, fiqh (jurisprudence), and hadith. As the Muslim world grew however, there needed to be formal institutions, known as madrasas, dedicated to the education of students.
The first formal madrasa was al-Karaouine, founded in 859 by Fatima al-Fihri in Fes, Morocco. Her school attracted some of the leading scholars of North Africa, as well as the land’s brightest students. At al-Karaouine, students were taught by teachers for a number of years in a variety of subjects ranging from secular to religious sciences. At the end of the program, if the teachers deemed their students qualified, they would grant them a certificate known as an ijaza, which recognizes that the student understood the material and is now qualified to teach it.

These first degree-granting educational institutes quickly spread throughout the Muslim world. Al-Azhar University was founded in Cairo in 970, and in the 1000s, the Seljuks established dozens of madrasas throughout the Middle East. The concept of institutes that grant certificates of completion (degrees) spread into Europe through Muslim Spain, where European students would travel to study. The Universities of Bologna in Italy and Oxford in England were founded in the 11th and 12th centuries and continued the Muslim tradition of granting degrees to students who deserved them, and using it as a judge of a person’s qualifications in a particular subject.

8 things the world owe to great Muslim civilizations.

1. Algebra

Many Westerners, Germans in particular, are proud of their feats of technology and engineering. But where would engineers be without algebra?

The mathematical system became known in Europe in the twelfth century, when British Arabist Robert of Chester translated the writings of Arab scholar Al-Khwarizmi. Al-Khwarizmi, for whom algorithms are named, is known as the developer of modern algebra.

2. The toothbrush

Islam was the one of the first world religions to place particular emphasis on bodily hygiene. The Qur’an includes instructions for ritual washing. It is no wonder, therefore, that dental hygiene also grew in popularity as Islam did. Admittedly, the ancient Egyptians are thought to have chewed on twigs from the “toothbrush tree.”

However, the twigs, also known as “miswak”, only became known to a wider public when the Prophet Mohammed regularly used them to brush his teeth. While there is no mention of miswak twigs in the Qur’an, they are mentioned many times in writings by Muslim scholars.

3. Marching bands

Military marching bands date back to the Ottoman Mehterhane. These were bands which played during the entire battle and only ceased their music-making when the army retreated or the battle was over.

During the wars with the Ottoman Empire, the bands are thought to have made a considerable impression on European soldiers – after which they adapted the principle for their own use.

4. The guitar

The guitar, as we know it today, has its origins in the Arabic oud – a lute with a bent neck. During the Middle Ages, it found its way to Muslim Spain, where it was referred to as “qitara” in the Arabic of Andalusia.

It is said that a music teacher brought one to the court of the Umayyad ruler Abdel Rahman II in the ninth century. The modern guitar developed as a result of many influences, but the Arabic lute was an important predecessor.

5. Magnifying glass/glasses

Not only did the Arab world revolutionize mathematics – it also revolutionized optics. The scholar Alhazen (Abu al-Hasan) from Basra was the first person to describe how the eye works.

He carried out experiments with reflective materials and proved that the eye does not sense the environment with “sight rays,” as scientists had believed up until then. He also discovered that curved glass surfaces can be used for magnification.

His glass “reading stones” were the first magnifying glasses. It was from these that glasses were later developed. Furthermore, Alhazen wrote important scholarly texts on astronomy and meteorology.

6. Coffee

Coffee is the best known of the Muslim world’s exports. While it originated in Ethiopia, it soon found its way over the Red Sea to the Arabian peninsula, where it grew in popularity.

It is thought that an Ottoman merchant brought the bean-based beverage to London in the 17th century. Venice gained its first coffee house in 1645, while Germany got to know the drink following the retreat of the Turks from Austria in 1683. Legend has it that the Sultan’s soldiers left sackloads of coffee behind.

7. Hospitals

The first modern hospital with nurses and a training centre was in Cairo. In the Ahmed Ibn Tulun hospital (named for the founder of the Tulunid dynasty), which was established in the year 872, all patients received free health care – a Muslim tradition which was institutionalized with the advent of the hospital.

Slightly more basic hospitals had existed prior to this in Baghdad. But it was the Cairo model which would later serve as the template for hospitals all around the globe.

8. Surgical Innovations

The Andalusian-born doctor Albucasis (Abu al-Kasim) was one of the most significant medical figures of the Middle Ages. In the more than 30 volumes he wrote, the tenth-century Arab scholar described how important a positive patient-doctor relationship is, and argued for the same standard of medical care for all, regardless of social class.

He also invented methods for surgically treating diseases of the urethra, the ear and the esophagus, and was the first person to describe an ectopic pregnancy. So great was his influence that he was still being quoted by leading European physicians in the 16th century. His ideas shaped modern surgery.

it's good advice. But the sad truth is that we can all try and enlighten these young girls, try to reason with them and let them see the wisdom but it wouldn't work Bro! most of them are hardwired to do exactly that, they wouldn't get the gist that the 4 years they would be spending may play a significant role in the type of life they would be living in the future. Sometimes you just pity them (or pity their parents), most times I just look the other way.

It doesn't really work.

thank you kind Sir, short and precise.

This is Nigeria! you don't get the CSI treatment.

The law of attraction, opposites attract. Personally I'm slim and I do like somthin slim tho.

The way you describe some details got me a little sceptical but I personally can't judge without seeing a picture at least of this mother in-law of yours. And if it's true try not to do IT coz I guarantee it's something you're gonna really regret. Encourage her to join nairaland, we'll be waiting.

Chai! Some guys have funny ways of rationalising. You were talking to her and her car glass was up? guy how many clues do you need?

remember what ojukwu did when the kitchen was too hot for him? he bailed out and took off. Then he came back and sold out...they've been sell outs ever since. So YES aliko dangote is gettin his crude from the Niger Delta, the governors and militants have been catered for and you will keep watching from the creeks.

you can include Geography to the list

Ignorant wildling, you don't get to cherry-pick and single out verses of the Holy Qur'an and proceed to give a biased interpretation based on sentiment in order to smear,stain and tarnish the image of the Prophet. The following are the verses 91-94;
From all of the context you just pick up this verse saying that Muslims should ask People of Book if they are in Doubt. Well let us read the whole passage.
Q10:90
And We brought the Children of Israel across the sea, and the Pharaoh and his hosts pursued them with vehement insolence and hostility, until (they were overwhelmed by the waters of the sea opened for Moses and his people to cross,) and when the drowning overtook the Pharaoh, he exclaimed: "I have come to believe that there is no deity save Him in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims (those who have submitted themselves wholly to Him)."
Q10:91
Now? – (You surrender now) when before this you always rebelled and were of those engaged in causing disorder and corruption?
Q10:92
So this day (as a recompense for your belief in the state of despair which will be of no avail to you in the Hereafter), We will save only your body, that you may be a sign for those to come after you. Surely, a good many people among humankind are heedless of Our signs (full of clear warning and lessons).
Q10:93
And indeed We settled the Children of Israel in a proper place of dwelling, and provided them with pure, wholesome things. They did not suffer discord until after the knowledge came to them (of the way they would have to follow and of what they would meet as a result of what they did). Your Lord will surely judge among them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that on which they used to differ.
Q10:94
If you are in doubt about the truth of what We have sent down on you (concerning what happened between Moses and the Pharaoh), then ask those who have been reading the Book (which was given to them) before you. Surely the truth has come to you from your Lord, so be not among those who feel doubt.
From Reading the Above Passages we can conclude that Allah helped the People of Israel and saved them from Pharaoh. He showerd His blessings upon the People of Israel and settled them in a beautiful place of Jerusalem. Yet they fell into groups and worked against Allah's order and were arrogant.

Separate rooms or maybe 1 room separate beds. Anything that they do prior to sleeping is their concern. But a man and woman should both wake up in separate beds after a good night rest.

Sh!t!

Well written. A word is enough for the wise.

Why does it always have to be about the female? How about the guy? Ya'll take s3x too seriously making it look so special which makes the females feel like its only the male's urges that are being quenched.

Fantasies

speaking from experience abi

You know the deal

He was just blinded by s3x. He. Brought out the big guns early, he didn't have any more leverage after that. He shouldav packaged the story wella. Smarter girls have been humped for much less.
