In this talk we aim to discuss the achievements of Muslim scholars between 700 and 1700 AD, with particular focus on what modern life, and scientific and technological developments, owe to Muslim scientists of the past. The scientific and cultural achievements and contributions of Muslim civilisation started within, and continued throughout, the medieval period for more than a thousand years. However, many people have no knowledge of the scientific and technological contributions of Muslim and non Muslim scholars living in Muslim geography during this period. Even in this modern age of enlightenment, few people, including Muslims, are aware of their significant contributions to the progress of humanity.
In Christian Europe the light of scientific inquiry had largely been extinguished with the collapse of the Roman Empire. But it survived, and indeed blazed brightly, elsewhere.
From Moorish Spain across North Africa to Damascus, Baghdad, Persia and all the way to India, scientists in the Muslim world were at the forefront of developments in medicine, astronomy, engineering, hydraulics, mathematics, chemistry, map-making and exploration.
During the 1000 years between 700 and 1700, Muslims established a great many scientific institutions such as observatories, libraries, madrasas, and hospitals, and contributed with new scientific and technological innovations to the global civilization. In this paper, using a power point presentation, we will expand and explore the topic of Muslim contributions within the history of science and technology.
