Can anyone name any famous Islamic scientist or inventors? Is there any? Even one? Name one?

Question

NOTE TO NON-MUSLIMS: If any Muslims respond, take note to whether they name anyone that can be verified. See if they are specific. Remember, almost every single Muslim alive will tell you that Islam was once the apex of civilization. In fact, the majority of Muslims believe that "all science comes from the Quran". Actually, Im not kidding. No...for real, Im not kidding..look into it.

So, if this is all true, should we be able to list countless famous Islamic scientists and innovators? The only one I know of, after researching the subject, is Al Kharazimi. The only thing it appears can be attributed to him is the 'logarythm".

Common lies found in their propaganda:

"Muslims invented math!" -- 100% false. Hindus invented the "zero" and what we now call "arabic numerals". Except for the logarythm, nothing comes from Muslims. Research it.

"Islamic architecture is the best!" -- This is subjective, but I agree, that the Christian Bystantine style which muslims plagerize is nice.

POKI: LOL!!!!!

Me or You could get more space on Wikipedia...he doesnt even merit half a paragraph! According to this little write-up, he didnt even invent anything per se, just improved the mechanics of a technique!

But, I was obviously asking for a major name in history. Amazing itsnt it Poki?

Answer 2

I wouldn't name all of them, but if you search history, you'd find a lot of Muslims whose contribution in science and society were tremendous. Already some of my Muslim brothers gave names and references above. You can search about them. Also, not only Muslims, there are a lot of Christians, Hindus and Jews too.

Anyone who says "Muslims invented math" is wrong. I personally never feel to say that lie. Math is an extremely huge subject. The modern use of math started way before Jesus was ever born.

The algebra we know now, was introduced by a Muslim scientist and mathematician, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. he is always considered a great name in math history, but not only. I'm quoting a paragraph from Encarta Encyclopedia 2006 by Microsoft:

"Arab mathematician, born in Khwārizm (now Khiva, Uzbekistan). He was librarian at the court of Caliph al-Mamun and astronomer at the Baghdād observatory. His works on algebra, arithmetic, and astronomical tables greatly advanced mathematical thought, and he was the "first" to use for mathematical purposes the expression al jabr, from which the English word algebra is derived. The Latin version, by the Italian translator Gerard of Cremona, of his treatise on algebra (based on a Hindu work) was responsible for much of the mathematical knowledge of medieval Europe. His work on algorithm, a term derived from his name, "introduced" the method of calculating by use of Arabic numerals and decimal notation."

There is no term called plagiarizing in scienctific theories. The term "plagiarizing" is mostly used in literature. Anyone can use scientic invention and theory brought by earlier scientists and utilize it, modify it and broaden it. This is the way its always happening. If Einstein didn't use and utilize the "theory of Newton"
(plagiarize, as you meant), he wouldn't be able to develop the theory of relativity.


Anyway, you might not have heard that a Muslim named "Muhammad Younus" from Bangladesh won Nobel prize
this year, actually a few days ago. You know what he did? He introduced the "Micro credit and micro finance system" for poor people.

Answer 3

oh dear dear your arrogant again and unbounded vulgarer hatred, we don't want to go back, just have a look around you , you will find many Muslims or born in Muslim countries how are in the highest position, but to go back Abualisina
is the one of the in ventures of the surgery, and since the surgery was not aloes in Christianity and Jews didn't have any country the Muslim hospitals and universities was the Mecca for all of the people who wanted to learn neuest of the human research,
and the Muslims invented math is in the story of marcopolow that he for the first time brought the math to Europe,
and a lout more, my English is not good enough to tell you more, but you know what I don't think that that is your problem, your problem is selfish hatred, you want to have everything for your self, and are not able to see that others are able to do something or are so stupidly joules of others that you heart yourself of lousing the things that don't even belong to you,
I would like to suggest that you think more of your mental problems, and don't forget Moslem's have oil, if they don't have anything, and dignity, of a human being, and we all have to live together in a day by day smaller getting world , you better understand that, and stoup making full of yourself.may
freedem be with you

Answer 4

Actually, Europe had fallen into the Dark Ages over religious
extremism. And it wasn't until Europeans mixed with muslims
while fighting in the crusades, that scientific thought reentered
European thought.

Answer 5

to be devils advocate what about

Ahmed Zewail?

who won the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

or Abdus Salam

who won the Nobel Prize in Physics

personally I think winning a noble prize in any scientific field is worth serious merit

Answer 6

I really dont see how this matters....

Just because we havnt invented anything recently doesn't mean our religion is wrong...


I've noticed that most people ask the same questions at around the same time... do all the unbelievers go to the same website to get more info to bash muslims?
