TRANSCRIPT

Muslims have made immense contributions to almost all fields

of life. Islam gave the world everything.

After Islam, the world benefited in all ways which we are all

thinking as the contribution from Europe. Whatever the

historical books used by the Western world is all lies. All

technology and scientific discoveries came from Muslims.

All the modern technology which is found today is because of

the works of Muslim scientists and scholars who lived few

centuries back.

Around the year 1,000, the celebrated doctor

Al Zahrawi (also called father of surgery)

published a 1,500 page illustrated

encyclopedia of surgery that was used in

Europe as a medical reference for the next 500

years.

Among his many inventions, Zahrawi

discovered the use of dissolving cat gut to

stitch wounds -- beforehand a second surgery

had to be performed to remove sutures.

And that it can be also used to make medicine

capsules.

In the 13th century, another Muslim medic

named Ibn Nafis described the circulation of

the blood, 300 years before William Harvey

discovered it.

He also reportedly performed the first

caesarean operation and created the first

pair of forceps.

An arb/ Ethopian named Khalid

was trending his goats in the kaffa

region of southern Ethopia, when

he noticed his animals became

livelier after eating some berry. He

boiled the berries to make the first

coffee.

In Yemen Sufis drank it to stay

awake all night to pray on special

occasions.

In 1650 a Turk named Pasqua

Rosee who opened the first

coffee house in Lombard Street in

City of London.

The Arabic Qahwa became the

Turkish Qahwa then the italian

caffѐ and then English coffee.

Coffee plants are cultivated in more than

70 countries.

Type : Hot or cold (usually hot)

Country of origin Yemen

(earliest credible evidence of coffee

drinking)

Ethiopia (possible consumption of

roasted dry beans)

Introduced Approx. 15th century

Color Dark brown, beige,

black, light brown

Coffee Day

In the United States, September 29 is

celebrated as "National Coffee Day.“

Coffee Day is also celebrated in a

handful of other countries as well.

A Muslim poet, astronomer, musician and

engineer named Abbas Ibn Firnas made

several attempts to construct a flying

machine.

Ibn Firnas jumped from the tower of

Cordoba intending to use garment as wing

on which he could glide like a bird.

This flight was unsuccessful. That it was

because he had not given his device a tail

so it would stall on landing.

What is thought to be the first parachute,

and leaving him with only minor injuries.

In 875, aged 70, having perfected a silk

and eagles’ feathers he tried again,

jumping from a mountain.

The Wright Brothers, Orville and

Wilbur two Americans.

With the inventing and building the

world’s first successful Airplane.

Making the first controlled, powered

and sustained heavier than air

human flight.

From 1905 to 1907, the brothers

developed their flying machine the

first practical wing aircraft.

Baghdad international airport and a

crater on the Moon are named after

him.

EVOLUTION OF FLYING MACHINE

WHAT IS UNIVERSITY?

A university (Latin: "universitas", "a whole") is an institution of

higher education and research which grants academic

degrees in a variety of subjects and provides both

undergraduate education and postgraduate education. The

word "university" is derived from the Latin universitas

magistrorum et scholarium, which roughly means

"community of teachers and scholars."

In 859 , a young princess named

Fatima al Firhi founded the first

degree granting university in Fez,

Morocco.

Her sister Miriam founded an

adjacent mosque and together the

complex became the al-Qarawiyyin

Mosque and University.

In 859 founded a mosque and

madrasa in Fes, Morocco.

Fatima and her sister Mariam, both of

whom were well educated, inherited a

large amount of money from their

father. Fatima vowed to spend her

entire inheritance on the construction

of a mosque suitable for her

community.

"world's oldest university".

Fatima al Firhi Died in 880

Still operating almost 1,200 years later,

the center will remind people that

learning is at the core of the Islamic

tradition and that the story of the al-

Firhi sisters will inspire young Muslim

women around the world today.

The idea of Graduate (Sahib) and

undergraduate (mutafaqqih) is derived

directly from Islamic terms.

Historical (surviving)

institutions: Institutions founded before the colonial

era and which are still in operation:

Aliah University, Kolkata, West Bengal

University of Al-Qarawiyyin, Morocco

Al-Azhar University, Cairo

Post-colonial

institutions (non-

seminaries):

Educational institutions founded since end

of colonial rule that are not religious

seminaries, but have a "Islamic" or

"Muslim" identity or charter, or devoted

to sciences and arts usually associated

with "Islamic" or "Muslim" culture and

Is one of the broad parts of mathematics,

together with number theory, geometry

and analysis

The word algebra comes from the title of a

Persian mathematician's famous 9th

century treatise "Kitab al-Jabr Wa l-

Mugabala" which translates roughly as

"The Book of Reasoning and

Balancing."

Al-Khwarizmi-the Father of Algebra.

Al-Khwarizmi, was also the first to

introduce the concept of raising a number

to a power.

Islamic contributions to mathematics

began around ad 825, when the Baghdad

mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-

Khwārizmī wrote his famous treatise al-

Kitāb al-mukhtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wa’l-

muqābala (translated into Latin in the 12th

century .

During the Middle Ages, Greek ideas

about optics were resurrected and

extended by writers in the Muslim

world.

Al-Kindi (c. 801–73) who wrote on the

merits of Aristotelian and Euclidean

ideas of optics, favouring the emission

theory since it could better quantify

optical phenomenon.

In 984, the Persian mathematician Ibn

Sahl wrote the treatise "On burning

mirrors and lenses", correctly

describing a law of refraction

equivalent to Snell's law. He used this

law to compute optimum shapes for

lenses and curved mirrors.

In the early 11th century, Alhazen (Ibn al-

Haytham) wrote the Book of Optics

(Kitab al-manazir) in which he explored

reflection and refraction and proposed a

new system for explaining vision and light

based on observation and experiment .

He invented the first pin-hole camera after

noticing the way light came through a hole

in window shutters.

This great Muslim physicist also

discovered the camera obscura

phenomenon, which explains how the

eye sees images upright due to the

connection between the optic nerve and

the brain

REVOLUTION OF CAMERA

Most jurists of the classical era of Muslim

scholarship opined that music is forbidden

both by the Qur'an and by the Hadith.

Modernists and certain groups of sufis,

however, permit music stating that the

prohibition of music and instruments at the

time of the Prophet related to usage, at the

time the polytheists used music and

musical instruments as part of their

worships.

Muslim musicians have had a profound

impact on Europe, dating back to

Charlemagne tried to compete with the

music of Baghdad and Cordoba, according

to Hassani. Among many instruments that

arrived in Europe through the Middle East

are the lute and the rahab, an ancestor of

the violin. Modern musical scales are also

said to derive from the Arabic alphabet.

Those who saw the permissibility (halal)

of music include Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi,

Ibn al-Qaisarani, Ibn Sina, Abu Hamid

al-Ghazali, Rumi, Ibn Rushd, and Ibn

Hazm.

Al-Ghazali also reports a narration from

al-Khidr, where he expressed a

favorable opinion of music, provided it

be within the usage limitation of

virtuous areas.

In South Asia, especially Pakistan and

India, the most widely known style of

Sufi music is qawwali. A traditional

qawwali programme would include:

1) A hamd—a song in praise of Allah

2) A naat—a song in praise of the

Prophet Muhammad

3) Manqabats—songs in praise of the

illustrious teachers of the Sufi

brotherhood to which the musicians

belong

4) Ghazals—songs of intoxication and

yearning, which use the language of

romantic love to express the soul's

longing for union with the divine.

5) Shi'a qawwali concerts typically

follow the naat with a manqabat in

praise of Ali, and sometimes a

marsiya, a lamentation over the death

of much of Ali's family at the Battle of

Karbala.
