The golden age of Arab civilization

Some historians believe that the roots of Western civilization are solely attributed to the Greeks, Romans, and the Renaissance, neglecting any contributions of Arab Islamic civilization in shaping the course of human progress! But, can we overlook and fail to recognize the achievements of prominent figures like Ibn Khaldun, considered the pioneer of sociology, Ibn Sina, who made great contributions to medicine, and Al-Khwarizmi, who founded algebra and logarithms? And what about Ibn Al-Nafis, the discoverer of the pulmonary circulation, Al-Mawsili, who developed surgical techniques for cataract removal, Al-Idrisi, who drew accurate maps of the world, and Biruni, the scientist in astronomy and mathematics? In addition to Ibn Rushd, Al-Farabi, Omar Khayyam, and others who left indelible marks on the path of science and thought and left a legacy whose impact still extends? Despite some misinterpretations and false biases in certain academic circles that describe Arab Islamic heritage either as disconnected from rationality or linked to extremist tendencies, historical facts clearly prove that Arab Islamic civilization experienced a golden age, serving as a beacon of knowledge and creativity, and profoundly contributing to enriching human thought and shaping the course of global civilization. This book aims to review those contributions and explore their deep impact on the paths of science and knowledge.
