Muslims and Science

One of the lights of Islamic ethics that enlightened mankind's path was scientific approach. Pre-Islamic Arab and some of societies of Middle East had never been any relation with the universal matters and how nature came to existence or how it is working.

But this state altered with the Qur'anic revelation, for God orders people to research into the origins of the heavens and Earth:

[People with intelligence are] those who remember God, standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and Earth [saying]: "Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire." (Qur'an, 3:191).

This consciousness is the start of the scientific rise of Islamic civilization, and it then set out a scientific process that nobody ever seen before it in human history. Its origin was Baghdad, capital of the Abbasid Empire and the Islamic world.

Scientists, intellectuals, researchers, and other scholarly personalities from all over the Muslim world came together in Baghdad's well-known Dar al-Hikmah - House of Wisdom - to explore the mysteries of Almighty’s universe. This knowingness that Muslim intellectuals and scientists gained by following the Qur'an's morality enabled history's most swift advancement in scientific knowledge until that time.

Open-mindedness, a wisdom Muslims are given by the Qur'an, gave them an ability to study and then develop more the scientific achievements of other societies and nations without bias. Muslim scientific records were full of observations, experimentations, calculations, and research on different topics and studies. In the schools of science, females were given the right to get the same education as males and perform their own role in scientific research.
