Muslim Scientists

Você vai se surpreender com as histórias de vida e realizações de cientistas muçulmanos.

The Prophet of Islam (Peace be upon him) urged all his followers to seek knowledge even though they might have to travel to far off China. When he began to preach the new faith, there was only a handful of men who could read and write. But this command about the search for knowledge had such a wonderful effect that, in a little over a hundred years after his death, the Muslims held the foremost place in the field of learning. Mosques had very early become centers of education and in time, schools and collages became attached to them.

When learning about Islamic history, it’s hard to not be amazed at the scientific and intellectual accomplishments of Muslims in the past. From medicine to mathematics to philosophy to art to physics, during their golden age, Muslims were at the forefront of almost all sciences, making new discoveries and building on earlier ones. Names like Ibn Sina, Ibn al-Haytham, Ibn Khaldun, and al-Farabi come to mind when people think of the giants of Islamic science.
