“My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful in both religious and
secular levels.” - Micheal H Hart,` “The 100”
... and Life of Prophet Muhammed (saw)

Many people considers the Quran to be the greatest work of Muslim literature, but we must understand that Holy Qur’an is not a book written by Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) or his followers. Instead it is the REVELATION from
THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

People without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

Read, in the name of your Lord; Who created. Created man
from a clot of congealed blood. Read, and your Lord is Most
Generous, Who taught knowledge by the pen. Taught
man what he did not know.

Abual-Rihan Al-Beruni

He also interpreted the exit of water from geysers and artesian wells in light of the theory of communicating vessels
Shadow observations for the solution of various astronomical problems

al-Khazini
1. Theory of Obliquity and Inclination 2. Theory of Impulse
Developed two theories in kinetics
Developed a device to determine the specific gravity of liquids

Al-Khazini pointed out that air had weight and power to boost things like air, adding that the weight of the object in the air weighs less than its actual weight and its condensed weight depends on the density of air. It is worth of note that these studies concreted the way for the inventions of the barometer (pressure measurement), air vacuums and pumps among others.

DISCOVERING THE LAWS OF MOTION
This fact acknowledged in the whole world and in all scientific references till the beginning of the twentieth century when a group of contemporary physicists, most prominent Professors of Mathematics examined these laws.
They checked the accessible body of Islamic manuscripts in this field and came up with the fact that Muslim scientists were the first to discover these laws.
Is Isaac Newton laid laws of motion ???
![Page 59: The golden ages of islamic civilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081505/554cbca6b4c905aa608b52f9/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
All what Newton did was to collect what had been written on these laws and formulated them in a mathematical form.
Setting bias and mere theoretical speech aside, the efforts of Muslim scientists are crystal clear. They are recognized in their manuscripts which had been written seven centuries before the birth of Newton.
![Page 60: The golden ages of islamic civilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081505/554cbca6b4c905aa608b52f9/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
THE FIRST LAW OF MOTION
Avicenna in his book “Insinuations and Notices” (Isharat wa Tanbihat) identified the same law in his own words “You know if the object is left unaffected by external influence, it remains as it is”.
“In the absence of force, a body either is at rest or moves in a straight line with constant speed”.
- Newton
![Page 61: The golden ages of islamic civilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081505/554cbca6b4c905aa608b52f9/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
THE SECOND LAW OF MOTION
“A body experiencing a force F experiences an acceleration a related to F by F = ma, where m is the mass of the body. Alternatively, force is proportional to the time derivative of momentum”.
- Newton
“The solidest power transfers fast and takes a short time. The stronger power leads to the faster the power and the shorter the time. If the power does not decrease, the speed does not decrease, either”.
“The Considered in Wisdom” (Al-Moatabar fil Hikma).
- Hebattullah bin Malaka Al-Baghdadi
![Page 62: The golden ages of islamic civilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081505/554cbca6b4c905aa608b52f9/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
THE THIRD LAW OF MOTION
“Every action has a reaction which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction”.
- Newton
“In the wrestling arena, everyone has a force practiced against the other. If one of them retreated, this does not mean that his power disappears, but this retreated power still exists, because without it the second one would not need it to influence the first one”.
- Hebattullah bin Malaka Al-Baghdadi
![Page 63: The golden ages of islamic civilization](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081505/554cbca6b4c905aa608b52f9/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
“The circle pulled by two equal forces until it stops in the middle, it is taken for granted that each forces has practiced an action that obstructs the other”.
Imam Fakhr El-Din Al-Razi The Eastern Disciplines in Theology and Natural Sciences (Al-Mabaheth Al-Mashrikayyah fi Illm Al-Illaheyyat wa Al-Tabi’yyat)

Muslim Printing Before Gutenberg
In 15th century Gutenberg devise a printing press, firstly. but printing itself, that is, making multiple copies of a text by transferring it from one raised surface to other portable surfaces (especially paper) is much older.
The Chinese were doing it as early as the 4th century, and the oldest dated printed text known to us is from 868: the Diamond Sutra, a Chinese translation of a Buddhist text now preserved in the British Library[1]

What is much less well known is that, little more than 100 years later, Arab Muslims were also printing texts, including passages from the Qur'an. They had already embraced the Chinese craft of paper making, developed it and adopted it widely in the Muslim lands [2].

Astronomical Clock of Taqi Al-Din

Using mathematics, he designed three dials which showed the hours, degrees and minutes. In his clock, he incorporated the use of several escapements, an alarm, the striking trains that sounded at every hour, the visual relationship between the sun and the moon, the different phases of the moon, the devices that indicated the time for prayers and the dials that showed the first day of the Gregorian months.
