| 1,000 Years of Missing History – Muslim Science, Technology and Civilisation Did you know that most history, science and technology books completely ignore the crucial discoveries, innovations and the actual role of Muslims that formed the basis of modern civilisation. www.muslimheritage.com is an online educational resource dedicated to popularising the history of Muslim achievements and providing quality factual content to redress the imbalance and bias in modern published scholarship. Six crucial facts you should know about Muslim Science, Technology and Civilization: 1 Muslims were the global leaders and innovators of intellectual, scientific and cultural development for many centuries. 2 The parts of Europe that were within the Muslim domain made huge leaps in civilisation through the transfer of Muslim scientific and technical ideas. 3 The so-called “Dark Ages”, a period of Western history spanning many centuries, was actually a period where Islamic civilisation and innovation were at their peak. 4 Major scientific discoveries currently attributed to Western scientists were in fact fully documented as Muslim discoveries many centuries before, e.g. Harvey and the Pulmonary Circulation, Snell and the laws of refraction etc 5 There are millions of documents in museum archives and libraries around the world that document Muslim civilisation but have not yet been researched, translated and popularised. 6 Within Islam, there is no conflict between science and religion. Muslim scientists were actually faith-inspired and used religion as the inspiration to advance human knowledge. The website is a free resource. It is run by the non-profit Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC) based in the UK. It does not have any affiliation with, and does not advocate support of, any particular country, religious sect or political group. Muslimheritage.com is a part of a larger global movement to provide a true and accurate content, on the history of the contribution of Muslims to world civilisation. www.muslimheritage.com |
