10 Influential Muslim Scholars in the World and Their Works

Islamic civilization hit its golden age between 622–1258 CE, producing a ton of great scholars from the Arab world, Persia, and even Turkey. Their discoveries became the foundation of modern science, which makes sense given how highly Islam values knowledge. In math, Al-Khwarizmi laid the groundwork for algebra and algorithms; Abu Al-Wafa Al-Buzjani pushed trigonometry forward; and Umar Khayyam cracked solutions for cubic equations. Mariam Al-Ijliya refined the astrolabe for navigation. Ibn Al-Haytham pioneered modern optics, Jabir ibn Hayyan advanced chemistry, Abbas ibn Firnas designed the first glider, and Ismail Al-Jazari came up with early robotics. Abu Bakr Ar-Razi was the one who scientifically told smallpox and measles apart. Ibn Sina, often called the Father of Modern Medicine, wrote Al-Qanun fi al-Thibb, which was a go-to reference in Europe for centuries. He described how tuberculosis and asthma spread and introduced the idea of health quarantine. https://mozaik.inilah.com/ibrah/10-ilmuwan-muslim-di-dunia-yang-mengubah-sejarah-dan-peradaban-modern
