Rockets were invented in medieval China (Circa 1044 AD) but it's first practical use for serious purpose other then entertainment took place in 1232 AD by the Chinese against the Mongols at the siege of Kai-Feng-Fue. Thereafter from 1750 AD to 1799 AD Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan [1] (Sultan of Mysore, in south India) perfected the rocket's use for military purposes, very effectively using it in war against British colonial armies. Tipu Sultan had 27 brigades (called Kushoons) and each brigade had a company of rocket men called Jourks. In the Second Anglo-Mysore war, at the Battle of Pollilur (10 September 1780), Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan achieved a grand victory, whereby the whole British detachment lead by Colonel Baillie was destroyed and 3820 soldiers were taken prisoner (including Colonel Bailli). the contributory cause being that one of the British ammunition tambrils was set on fire by Mysorean rockets.
In the defense arena, Raytheon invented guided missile technology and created both the Tomahawk and Patriot missiles.
300 CE - Rockets are developed by the Chinese using gunpowder. They were used for religious ceremonies celebrating the ancient Chinese Gods as well as for entertainment(i.e. fireworks).
11th century CE - Rockets and fireworks evolve into use for weaponry in China.
1650 - Artis Magnae Artilleriae pars prima ("Great Art of Artillery, the First Part") is printed in Amsterdam, about a year before the death of its author, Kazimierz Siemienowicz.

Rocket-propelled weapons were first used by the Chinese about AD 1100, and were encountered in the 18th century by the British forces. The rocket missile was then re-invented by William Congreve in England around 1805, and remained in use with various armies in the 19th century.
The first wartime use of a long-range missile was against England in World War II, by the jet-powered German V1 (Vergeltungswaffe, ‘revenge weapon’ or Flying Bomb), a monoplane (wingspan about 6 m/18 ft, length 8.5 m/26 ft); the first rocket-propelled missile with a preset guidance system was the German V2, also launched by Germany against Britain in World War II.
The V-2 Missile was developed in Germany from 1936 through the efforts of scientists led by Wernher von Braun. It was first successfully launched on October 3, 1942, and was fired against Paris on September 6, 1944.

That is the nick which made to think in that angle and finally missile is invented.

some Muslims have confidence listening to music is *****, regardless of the undeniable fact that it is not using fact it extremely is western. music is time-honored. there replace into music on the time of the prophet (could peace be with him) and it wasn't western (or 'infidel' as you call it, although the words at the instant are not interchangeable). the difficulty with *some* music is the content cloth which will glorify issues that are disliked in Islam and the tendency for music to be a distraction from one's duties as a Muslim. does not count if the music comes from the west or not. technologies too has the aptitude to be stable or undesirable. there is not something incorrect with employing technologies which makes life greater powerful, yet different issues like nuclear weapons could in no way be used. and particularly Muslims have not fired nuclear weapons in any respect and multiple. the only human beings to do that have been individuals whilst they incinerated the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

If you are looking for rocketry in regards to current modern technologies, it was the Nazi's during WWII developing the implementation of the V1 and V2 rockets for use against Britain. These were the modern versions and predecessors of today's intercontinental ballistic missiles.
