Book Synopsis Islam, Science, and the Challenge of History by : Ahmad Dallal
Download or read book Islam, Science, and the Challenge of History written by Ahmad Dallal. This book was released on 2010-05-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this wide-ranging and masterly work, Ahmad Dallal examines the significance of scientific knowledge and situates the culture of science in relation to other cultural forces in Muslim societies. He traces the ways the realms of scientific knowledge and religious authority were delineated historically. For example, the emergence of new mathematical methods revealed that many mosques built in the early period of Islamic expansion were misaligned relative to the Ka'ba in Mecca; this misalignment was critical because Muslims must face Mecca during their five daily prayers. The realization of a discrepancy between tradition and science often led to demolition and rebuilding and, most important, to questioning whether scientific knowledge should take precedence over religious authority in a matter where their realms clearly overlapped"--Page 2 of cover.

Book Synopsis Development of Science & Technology in Islamic History by : Shabeer Ahmed
Download or read book Development of Science & Technology in Islamic History written by Shabeer Ahmed. This book was released on 2015-11-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spectacular advances in science and technology that have occurred over the last century have led some to believe that only Western Capitalism can produce material progress. Does religion hinder man's progress in life? Is there a contradiction between Islam and science? Why are the countries of the Islamic world so technologically backward? Is Islam capable of addressing man's diverse problem in the 21st century? This book tackles these questions by exploring the relationship between Islam and science, by examining how science bloomed under Islam while Europe struggled in the Dark Ages and by illustrating a distinct vision for future scientific and technological advancement under the Islamic State.

Book Synopsis The House of Wisdom by : Jim Al-Khalili
Download or read book The House of Wisdom written by Jim Al-Khalili. This book was released on 2011-03-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A myth-shattering view of the Islamic world's myriad scientific innovations and the role they played in sparking the European Renaissance. Many of the innovations that we think of as hallmarks of Western science had their roots in the Arab world of the middle ages, a period when much of Western Christendom lay in intellectual darkness. Jim al- Khalili, a leading British-Iraqi physicist, resurrects this lost chapter of history, and given current East-West tensions, his book could not be timelier. With transporting detail, al-Khalili places readers in the hothouses of the Arabic Enlightenment, shows how they led to Europe's cultural awakening, and poses the question: Why did the Islamic world enter its own dark age after such a dazzling flowering?
