The Great Muslim Scientists of All Time.

Here is a little intro about them and their work to the world. All the scientists are before 14th century .., When Europe was called a Dark continent, Muslims Scientists were mashallah busy in inventing science after science.

Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī


Consequently he is considered to be the father of algebra, a title he shares with Diophantus. Latin translations of his Arithmetic, on the Indian numerals, introduced the decimal positional number system to the Western world in the 12th century. He revised and updated Ptolemy's Geography as well as writing several works on astronomy and astrology.

He was also an astronomer, chemist, Hafiz, logician, mathematician, physicist, poet, psychologist, scientist, Sheikh, soldier, statesman and theologian. Ibn Sīnā is regarded as a father of early modern medicine, and clinical pharmacology. His discovery also includes the contagious nature of infectious diseases, the introduction of quarantine to limit the spread of contagious diseases, the introduction of experimental medicine, evidence-based medicine, clinical trials, randomized controlled trials, efficacy tests, neuropsychiatry, risk factor analysis, and the idea of a syndrome. He is also considered the father of the fundamental concept of momentum in physics, and regarded as a pioneer of aromatherapy

Gerber


He is "considered by many to be the father of chemistry.
abir Ibn Hayyan is widely credited with the introduction of the experimental method in alchemy, and with the invention of numerous important processes still used in modern chemistry today, such as the syntheses of hydrochloric and nitric acids, distillation, and crystallisation.



Al-Jazari
The most significant aspect of al-Jazari's machines are the mechanisms, components, ideas, methods and design features which they employ.

Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Kathīr al-Farghānī
He was involved in the measurement of the diameter of the Earth together with a team of scientists under the patronage of al-Ma'mūn in Baghdad.
The Alfraganus crater on the Moon was named after him.



Muhammad ibn Zakarīya Rāzi

Razi made fundamental and enduring contributions to the fields of medicine, alchemy, and philosophy, recorded in over 184 books and articles in various fields of science. He was well-versed in Persian, Greek and Indian medical knowledge and made numerous advances in medicine through own observations and discoveries. He was an early proponent of experimental medicine and is considered the father of pediatrics. He was also a pioneer of neurosurgery and ophthalmology.



Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūni
Physicist, an anthropologist and psychologist, an astronomer, a chemist, a critic of alchemy and astrology, an encyclopedist and historian, a geographer and traveller, a geodesist and geologist, a mathematician, a pharmacist and physician, an Islamic philosopher, and a scholar and teacher, and he contributed greatly to all of these fields.

Al-Khazini

Robert E. Hall wrote the following on al-Khazini:

"His hydrostatic balance can leave no doubt that as a maker of scientific instruments he is among the greatest of any time."



Ibn al-Haytham

HE made significant contributions to the principles of optics, as well as to anatomy, astronomy, engineering, mathematics, medicine, ophthalmology, philosophy, physics, psychology, visual perception, and to science in general with his introduction of the scientific method. Ibn al-Haytham is regarded as the "father of modern optics" for his influential Book of Optics. He is also considered by some to be the founder of experimental psychology for his experimental approach to the psychology of visual perception and optical illusions, and a pioneer of the philosophical field of phenomenology.

Among his other achievements, Ibn al-Haytham gave the first clear description and correct analysis of the camera obscura, discovered Fermat's principle of least time and the concept of inertia (Newton's first law of motion), discovered that the heavenly bodies were accountable to the laws of physics.


And mashallah the list goes on n on. So the questions remains wot these Muslims cud achieve, y can't we redo it? I think we all know the answer. We r lacking Allah's rahmah, barakah n noor which they received bcoz they r also known as devout Muslims. Rich n poor - all Muslim nations r submerged in2 luxury n haram acts. We don't share our expertise with each other but for higher remuneration n name n fame we give it all 2 the west. Not only we sell them our talents, but we don't trust each other n keep our liquid (cash etc.) n non liquid assets (houses etc.) in the west as well. Allah has given us, the 57 states with 1 billion Muslims, mashallah enuf but we as a ummah r not managing it at all. Combinedly we hav brilliant students (but not enuf or well equipped universities), lots of mineral resources 2 build industries n from those resources monetary strength 2 strengthen n make independent the ummahs economy, abundant land n manpower for agricultural productions which shud never make any1 within the ummah go hungry.



Muslim scientists hav 2 innovate within the ethics n morality of Islam. Which brings out innovations with good cozes n consequences 2 the society. Which helps building a greed less, conflict less peacefull world.
