İSLAMIN AVROPADA ELMƏ XİDMƏTİ (QƏRBLİLƏRİN DİLİNDƏN)

Abstract

According to the explicit admission of Western historians, Europe's scientific movement was inspired by the scientific movement of Muslims, and Europeans owe their scientific advancements to Islamic scholars! Based on the admissions of Western scholars, "When we consider the contributions of Muslims to Western culture, we see that science illuminated the West from the East!" Dr. Max Meyerhof states: "Muslim science was like the shining moon that illuminated the darkest nights of medieval Europe. As new sciences emerged, the moon faded in color, but it was that same moon that guided us through the dark nights to where we are now. We can say that its rays are still with us!" In the same book, we read: "In short, with the translation of Muslim scholars' books, Europe’s barren land was blessed with rainfall, making it fertile, and gradually Europeans became acquainted with Eastern sciences!" He writes: "Recent discoveries have shed new light on the ancient history of Islamic world sciences, but it must be admitted that these discoveries are still insufficient; the world will increasingly realize the significance of Islamic sciences in the future." Professor Gibb writes: "Looking back at the past, we see that the science and literature of the East acted like leavening for Western civilization, in such a way that the influence of Eastern spirit and thought illuminated the dark minds of people in past centuries in the West and led them to a broader world!" The famous Christian historian George Zaidan writes: "When Islamic civilization reached its full stage and foreign sciences were published in the lands of Islam, Muslims began to study them. A group of Islamic scholars, using their genius, surpassed the original owners of those sciences, adding new ideas and discoveries to them. Thus, the sciences and knowledge branched out, evolving and blending with Islamic culture and traditions, forming the shape of Islamic civilization." He writes: "From what we have said about the role of education in Islamic civilization, it is well understood that knowledge and science flourished in various directions among Muslims. Scholars, jurists, physicians, and philosophers brought forth their genius through this path."
