Muslims and surgical equipment?

Question

To those who say that muslims have never contributed anything to the world, what do you think about the fact that when you need a surgery, a muslim invented the tools and anesthesia you are being given?

"Many modern surgical instruments are of exactly the same design as those devised in the 10th century by a Muslim surgeon called al-Zahrawi. His scalpels, bone saws, forceps, fine scissors for eye surgery and many of the 200 instruments he devised are recognisable to a modern surgeon. It was he who discovered that catgut used for internal stitches dissolves away naturally (a discovery he made when his monkey ate his lute strings) 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. Muslims doctors also invented anaesthetics of opium and alcohol mixes and developed hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes in a technique still used today.

Answer 1

asalaamu alaykum sister, while Europe was stuck in the dark ages, the muslim empire was a beacon of light in the world.

Did you know that the gown and hat that you were at graduation is meant to be an imitation of the muslims. This is because to be educated used to mean being muslim. This is when the muslims were successful, and strongly upon the sunnah. May Allah guide the muslims back to the way of his Messenger, for truly this is where the success lies. Amen.

Answer 2

Ever since Muslims went on a big recruitment campaign, trying to get American Blacks to join by telling them that Mohammed was Black, I have come to trust very little that I hear Muslims preaching about history. How many Americans actually believe their true religious roots are Muslim, because of this campaign of disinformation? If any culture was more ruthless and brutal than the Christians in Africa, it was the Muslims for the 600 years prior to Christians' imperialism and colonization.

At least Alex Haley realized his roots weren't Arabic. Your claim may be true, but I'm not holding my breath. The world got much from ancient Arabic culture, but I don't know how much in modern times. They did not advance, technologically, the way Europeans did, until very recently.

Answer 4

trouble-free definitions of terrorism seek advice from those violent acts that are meant to create worry (terror), are perpetrated for a non secular, political or ideological purpose, and intentionally purpose or push aside the protection of non-warring parties (civilians) this implies israel is a terrorist state, yet i could somewhat call them oppressors, transgressors, criminals, thieves, invaders, etc.. and what does terrorism ought to do with scientific progression? palestinians do no longer choose to wreck all of us, they only choose to come again what's lawfully theirs the british introduced the jews and rather dumped them in palestine, because of the fact they had to get rid of them, the jews formed the rustic of israel and kicked palestinians out, they stole their sources and land, and equipped their very own homes, in what worldwide is that a appropriate element of do? have you ever seen what that's like in there? I even have and that's depressing, have you ever seen how they manage arabs/muslims? scientific progression isn't a standars of humanity a minimum of whilst human beings confront us with terrorism interior the call of islam we are saying that's not real!!

Answer 5

I have said it before, and will say it again.

Muslims did a lot in the 10th century, no doubt about it. But what have you done since then? Lets see. . . . . . . NOTHING!

Get out of the dark ages and join the 21st century.

Answer 6

yeah that's great and all, not that it has much to do with islam, but what have muslims done since their clerics gained the power to have people ostracised, tortured or killed for believing the wrong things?

Answer 7

They were really advanced for their time.
