Extractions: according to ibn an-Nafis The opening page of one of Ibn al-Nafis's medical works. This is probably a copy made in India during the 17th or 18th century. Anatomy Hunayn Ibn Ishaq systemized and defined the life sciences and devised practical concepts and procedures for study, experimentation and practice. As a result of this book the medicopharmacetical branches of science were further developed. Introduction to Healing Art was the manual used by examiners to approve physicians licensing for practice from the eighth to the fourteen century. The book was translated into Latin and was widely spread in Europe. Hunayn then wrote Kitab al-Manazir (Book of Optics) and ten treaties on anatomy, physiology, and treatment of the eye.

Extractions: edited by Joseph Lowry, Devin Stewart and Shawkat M. Toorawa This volume, focusing on legal education and its place in classical and medieval Islamic civilisation, comprises eight articles written in honour of Professor George Makdisi (1925-2002), seven of them by his former students at the University of Pennsylvania (William Granara, Sherman Jackson, Gary Leiser, Joseph Lowry, Christopher Melchert, Devin Stewart, and Shawkat Toorawa). One article is by George Makdisi's friend and Islamicist colleague Bernard Weiss, and the Preface by George Makdisi's friend and colleague at the University of Pennsylvania, the European medievalist Edward Peters. George Makdisi was one of the great scholars of Islamic law, theology and education, as well as a historian of Islam's institutions and practices of learning. He taught at the University of Michigan from 1953-59, at Harvard University from 1959-73, and at the University of Pennsylvania from 1973 until his retirement in 1990. In 1993 he received the Giorgio Della Vida Award for Excellence in Islamic Studies. c.180 pp (The E J W Gibb Memorial Trust 2004)
Euclid's Geometry: The Arabian Euclid the House of Wisdom, in Baghdad, headed by hunayn ibn ishaq (808873) in Ishaq ibn Hunayn, two of the most important translators of Greek works. http://mathforum.org/geometry/wwweuclid/transl.htm
Extractions: Heath tells us that "the Caliph al-Mansur (754-775) sent a mission to the Byzantine Emperor as the result of which he obtained from him a copy of Euclid among other Greek books, and again that the Caliph al-Ma'mun (813-833) obtained manuscripts of Euclid, among others, from the Byzantines." Most of the Greek learning that was preserved in the Library at Alexandria must have ended up in Rome before the Christians and Arabs gradually destroyed it. It is reasonable to think that copies of pagan books then made their way from Rome, the capital of the old, western Roman Empire, to Constantinople, the capital of the new, eastern Roman Empire, before Rome was sacked in the 5th Century. Constantinople did not fall until 1203, leaving plenty of time for Greek science to migrate into the Islamic empire. The first Arabic translation that we know of was made by Al-Hajjaj j. b. Yusuf b. Matar (Al-Hajjaj) in the 8th Century. A manuscript copy of this version still exists. It is one of many manuscripts of Arabic translations that have survived. The translation of Greek works into Arabic peaked under Al-Ma'mun (813-833) who "founded a research institute, the 'House of Wisdom,' in Baghdad," headed by Hunayn ibn Ishaq (808-873) in collaboration with his son, Ishaq ibn Hunayn, two of the most important translators of Greek works.

We have explained things in various ways in the Quran in order that they may receive admonition, but it only increases their flight (from the Truth) (Quran 17:41) Khalif al-Mamuns period of rule (813-833) may be considered the golden age of science and learning. He had always been devoted to books and to learned pursuits. His brilliant mind was interested in every form of intellectual activity. Not only poetry, but also philosophy, theology, astronomy, medicine and law, all occupied his time. (Sir John Glubb) In Baghdad al-Mamun opened an institution which he called the House of Wisdom or Darul Hikma the principal object of which was the translation of foreign books. Abul-Faraj, the famous writer of Kitab al-Aghani, wrote that Khalif al-Mamun was deeply convinced that, those who were given to reasoning and were followers of free conscience were the close servants of Allah and were very dear to their Lord. Al-Mamun also believed that all intellectuals in learning were the torch-bearers and educators of men in this world. And that is why he invited the famed physicians, scientists, mathematicians, astrologers, historians, poets, lawyers, muhaddiths and mufassirs from all over the world and offered them all facilities and state patronage to encourage them to devote themselves to the pursuit of learning and original thinking. al-Mamun succeeded, through their efforts, in translating most of the original works of Hebrew and Greek languages into Arabic.

Next The 'Abbasid caliphate Opposition to the Umayyads finally came to a head in northeastern Iran (Khorasan) in 747 when the mawla Abu Muslim raised black banners in the name of the 'Abbasids , a branch of the family of the Prophet, distantly related to 'Ali and his descendants. In 749 the armies from the east reached Iraq, where they received the support of much of the population. The 'Abbasids themselves came from their retreat at Humaymah in southern Jordan, and in 749 the first 'Abbasid caliph, as-Saffah , was proclaimed in the mosque at Al-Kufah. This " 'Abbasid Revolution" ushered in the golden age of medieval Iraq. Khorasan was too much on the fringes of the Muslim world to be a suitable capital, and from the beginning the 'Abbasid caliphs made Iraq their base. By this time Islam had spread well beyond the original garrison towns, even though Muslims were still a minority of the population. At first the 'Abbasids ruled from Al-Kufah or nearby, but in 762

Extractions: The Arabic ChristianLiterature By Dr. George Khoury The Melkites The Jacobites The Nestorians The Copts ... TheMaronites 1- Introduction Arabic at the time of the Abbasids had become a language of full maturity,unchallenged mistress in the school, the mosque, and in the offices ofthe administration. It prevailed in all parts of the Muslim world, notonly as an ornament of great value for the pen, but also as a generousnurse of thought. The Iranians themselves, who later succeeded in givinglife to their nationalism and in reviving anew a literature in Persianlanguage, were unable to garble the Arabic language as a language of scienceand religion. They also had to keep its strong mark on their own vocabularyand on the alphabet. If Baghdad was an aging city hardly a century afterits founding, it was nonetheless under the first Abassids the symbol ofa new civilization and the home of the shining Arabic language which hadbecome a language of thought and culture. The irruption of foreign nations reached its height during the Abassidcaliphate, with their cultural contributions and their specific gifts tothe social and intellectual life of Arab Islamism. It also provoked a greateffervescence of thought and an intense literary activity which pouredinto the Arabic language and brought about a development of prose. Thevocabulary waxed richer thanks to new terms it borrowed from other cultures;the syntax became suppler, and the style clearer. Literary genres wereeither recovered or created. Ideas, new doctrines and research requiredmore suitable expression.

Countering this assessment and presenting many little-known texts, this comprehensive work demonstrates the existence of a flourishing tradition in Arabic autobiography. Interpreting the Self discusses nearly one hundred Arabic autobiographical texts and presents thirteen selections in translation. The authors of these autobiographies represent an astonishing variety of geographical areas, occupations, and religious affiliations. This pioneering study explores the origins, historical development, and distinctive characteristics of autobiography in the Arabic tradition, drawing from texts written between the ninth and nineteenth centuries c.e.

Extractions: Thabit and his pupils lived in this midst. He worked in Baghdad and he occupied himself with mathematics, astronomy, mechanics, medicine and philosophy. His native language was Syriac, which was the eastern Aramaic dialect from Edessa, and he knew well also Greek. He translated from Greek Apollonius, Archimedes, Euclid and Ptolemy. Thabit had revised translation of Euclid Elements of Hunayn ibn Ishaq. He had also rewritten the Hunayn's translation of Ptolemy's Almagest and he translated Ptolemy's Geography, which later became very known. Later Thabit's patron was the Abbasid Caliph al-Mu'tadid (reigned 892902) and Thabit very soon became his personal friend and the visitor of his court. There are just a few original Thabit's works that were preserved. Thabit has developed a theory about the trepidation and oscilation of the equinoctial points, of which many scolars debated in the Middle Ages. According to Copernicus Thabit has determined the length of the sidereal year 365d 6h 9m 12s (an error of 2s). He published his observations of the Sun. In mathematics Thabit discovered an equation for determining the amicable numbers.

Extractions: Early Muslims Scientists and their contribution to modern science Prepared by: MOHAMMED HELAL Muslim Scholars divide The compulsory duties (Fard) into two types: Fard Ayn (a duty that must be performed by each Muslim) and Fard Kifaiah (Collective obligation, a duty that must be fulfilled by the whole of the Muslim Ummah). All Muslims know that Fard Ayn include Shahada, Salat, Zakat, Syam, and Haj. Muslims also know that Salat Janazah (the Prayer on the dead) as the best example for Fard Kifaiah, and if a few performed it, it is no longer required from the rest. It is important to know what Fard Kifaiah covers and what conditions that are required to say it is performed. The Muslim Ummah will fulfil the only if there are enough skilled people to cover all types of services that will make the Muslim Ummah safe, free, strong, developed, and with high standard of living for all the Muslims. Science and Technology is definitely a Fard Kifaiah as one of the Scholars said: As we are going to see in the following few words, early Muslims understood the true meaning of Fard Kifaiah. We are living nowadays in the age of science. Science is synonymous with applied knowledge. Unfortunately, in many quarters today, science is regarded as an intellectual exercise alien to religion. It is considered as a materialistic pursuit devoid of any belief in Allah. This conception, or rather misconception, about science and its attainments has promoted the growth of rejectionism and atheism in the world.

Extractions: The belief is a very strong component of our religion. Islam itself means submission to the will of Allah. the religion places tremendous responsibility on the individual. It is the individual himself or herself that is answerable for all his or her deed and no one else will help on the day of judgement. Thus, the principles laid down by Islam attempted to purge the society of tribal traditions and ills and helped create a healthy society. Greek medical works, especially those of Galen were translated during the early 9th century by a prolific translator Humayn ibn Ishaq and his disciples in Bagdad, which became one of the great learning centers of that period. He translated voluminous materials and many of these manuscripts can still be found in the libraries of Constantinople. He also wrote manuals and textbooks, for students, such as "Question on Medicine" (which was in the question and answer form), "Ten treatises on the Eye" (the first text book of ophthalmology ) and numerous other similar works. Humayan demonstrated that he was an excellent editor because his writings were very succinct, and translated from at least three different manuscripts of a book so as to maintain and preserve the original thought. Compendiums of medical knowledge were compiled discussing various diseases systematically. This provides evidence of the understanding of medicine even in those early days.
