AbstractAbstract: The development of modern science cannot be separated from the great contributions made by Islamic scientists during the Golden Age of Islam (8th to 14th centuries). Through the translation, development, and dissemination of knowledge, Muslim scientists such as Al-Khwarizmi, Ibn Sina, and Al-Farabi created a solid foundation in various fields, including mathematics, medicine, philosophy, and astronomy. Their monumental works, such as Al-Kitab al-Mukhtasar fi Hisab al-Jabr wal-Muqabala, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, and the idea of Aristotelian logic, had a great impact on the advancement of science in Europe after being translated into Latin in the 12th century. The spread of this knowledge played a significant role in the intellectual revival of Europe, culminating in the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution. European scientists utilized the scientific heritage of Islam to develop new technologies and theories, making great strides in science and innovation. In the modern era, Muslim countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Qatar continue to make scientific contributions, despite facing various global challenges. This study confirms that although modern science is often associated with the West, the contributions of Islamic scientists are an inseparable foundation in the course of the history of science. This legacy is not only relevant in its time, but also provides ongoing inspiration for the advancement of science in the era of globalization. |
