islam and Stephen Hawking: Asking big questions about the universe (Quran version)
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
The first hospital was built in Damascus (707 CE) by Caliph Walid ibn 'Abd al-Malik. Muslims made many advances, such as the idea of blood circulation and quarantine. Ibn Sina's (d. 1037 CE) 20-volume The Book of Healing, consisting of The Canons of Medicine, was Europe's chief medical science guide from the twelfth to the seventeenth century. Ibn Sina, the first to describe meningitis, surveyed all available medical knowledge, from ancient and Muslim sources, and made original contributions.Hunayn ibn Ishaq (d. 873 CE) made advances in medicine, physics, mathematics, astronomy, veterinary science, and ophthalmology. This philosopher, physician, and head of Baghdad's famous school of translators, wrote the first systematic ophthalmology textbook. Al-Razi (d. 925 CE) wrote a 10-volume work on Greek medicine and a 20-volume encyclopedia of medicine, treated kidney and bladder stones, and researched smallpox and measles. He was the first to use alcohol for medical purposes and opium as an anesthetic. Surgeon Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (d. 1013 CE) wrote Al-Tasrif li Man Ajaz 'an al-Ta'lif, Europe's standard university textbook on surgery for 500 years. He was the first to use silk thread for stitching wounds.Al-Idrisi (d. 1166 CE) made major contributions in cataloging medicinal plants in such books as Kitab al-Jami'li Sifat Ashtat al-Nabatat. He also made original contributions to topography and wrote geographical encyclopedias, such as Pleasure of Men and Delight of Souls.Botanist Ibn al-Baytar (d. 1248 CE), one of the Middle Ages' greatest botanists and pharmacists, compiled a textbook of over 1,400 medicinal plants. It was translated into Latin and published as late as 1758.The founder of modern algebra, al-Khwarizmi's (d. 850 CE) Calculating Integration and Equation was used until the sixteenth century as the principal textbook in European universities. He also helped introduce Arabic numerals, the decimal point system, and the concept of zero. Algebra and algorithm are corruptions of his work and name. Under al-Ma'mun, he and his colleagues were the first to map the globe. In algebra, the Muslims continued with Thabit Ibn Qurra's more general equations solved by geometrical arguments. In 901 Abu Kamil, "the Egyptian calculator," established rules for manipulating algebraic expressions. Around 1000, al-Karaji's The Marvelous discussed higher order equations, combing geometry and arithmetic. Al-Samaw'al established the power law x^nx^n=x^(m+n) in 1180. Abu Yunus proved the famous identity cos(a)cos(b)={cos(a+b)+cos(a-b)}/2 and used spherical trigonometry to compute prayer times. Al-Biruni (d. 1050 CE) used spherical trigonometry to find any city's direction. Another outstanding late-fourteenth century mathematician, Ghiyath al-Din al Kashani, worked on number theory and computation techniques. In 1424, he computed a value of 2pi to 16 decimal points. In his The Calculators' Key, he described an algorithm for finding the fifth root of any number.Omar Khayyam (d. 1131 CE), famous in the West as a poet, was an excellent mathematician who criticized Euclid's theorems, evolved a methodology to solve thrid degree equations, and researched binomials and their coefficients. Methematician and atronomer al-Buzanji's (d. 997 CE) main contribution lies in mathematics, especially geometry, and a sizable part of today's trigonometry can be traced to him. Al-Battani (d. 929 CE) was a famous astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer who is often considered one of Islam's greatest astronomers. He determined the solar year to be 365 days, 5 hours, 46 minutes, and 24 seconds - very close to modern estimates. He proved that, in contrast to Ptolemy, the sun's variation of the apparent angular diameter and the possibility of annular eclipses. In 1749, Dunthorne used al-Battani's observations of lunar and solar eclipses to determine the moon's secular acceleration of motion. His most famous astonomical treatise, translated into Latin in the twelfth century, was extremely influential in Europe until the Renaissance.Physicist al-Khazini studied mechanics and hydrostats and wrote books on physics and astronomy. Geographer, chronologist, mathematician, astonomer, and physicist Al-Biruni's Elements of Astrology remained a textbook for centuries. He also wrote on specific gravity and developed formulas to determine all objects' absolute and specific weights. Ibn al-Haytham (d. 1039 CE), an eminent physicist and the father of modern optics, wrote Kitab al-Manazir on light, worked with mirrors and lenses, reflection, refraction, and magnifying and burning glasses. He discounted Euclid and Ptolemy by discovering that rays originated in the object of vision and not the eye. He discovered the principle of inertia, studied sunrise and sunset, and explained rainbows through the principle of reflection. He was also known for the earliest use of the camera obscura.

People how talk in bad way of Muslim,if you think you are disrespecting Muslim people ,you wrong you are disrespecting god so good luck to you with that.

Oh! and sperm comes from the ribs!!!! Oh, and the sun sets in a pond!!!! A man flying on a horse!!! The moon split!!!!! There are dozens STUPID writings in ALL SUCH BOOKS!! THE EPITOME OF STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!
-
THE REASONING AND COMPARISON TO THAT BOOK IS EXTREMELY WEAK! I was 20 years old and with no training ALREADY IMAGINED SOME OF THE THINGS MENTIONED HERE! A more intelligent 16 year old 2,000 years could come up with what the koran writers did!!!! The universe SPREADS!!! Yes, but THAT IS NOT "HEAVEN!!!!!! as the book says!!! The books do have some good GUESSES - BUT SORRY, NO CIGAR!!!!!

0+0 cannot possibly ever give you 1, so where did all this order come? you can believe in the bigbang but I'd rather believe he who caused it to explode. ALLAH.

And what happened in the 700 years after the last date mentioned? Nothing. Today even India publishes more papers in the highly cited researchers list.
And the translation of the quran about the "expanse" changed magically after Hubble's findings. And in the original text is was "the Earth spread out beautiful" ... -
of all the arguments,is just like asking 2 kids to solve a math problem,one kid who just said the answer without any explanation and the other one who dementstrated how he reached the answer.for me,i choose the second kid

Non-muslim will never accept islam guys due to their ignorant and greed, even though Our prophet slice moon in half, they still don't want to believe it.

y the hell ,, others shuld believe islam,, y muslims want others to fallow there religion,,, it helps saudi arabia people,,none will be benifited,, u people go to haj and give good income for them ,, its clever business from saudi arabian people ,,muslims dont have country they are united by religion ,, good,, then y u dont get citizen ship in oil rich gulf countries ,, y pakistanis africans and bangladeshi muslims treated like untouchables

The idiot is part of the Illuminati and a big fraud! Please watch Hawkins a hoax!
-
fake video... he does not believe time was an element before big bang. allah created in 6 days is ridiculous
-
how desperate Islam must be to make fake videos like these!! it was only in 1999 when Muslims stopped believing that the earth was flat when an Arab went to space with Americans and only then did the grand mufti change his mind about this! according to quran the world does not spin but the sun moves side to side on a flat earth! also there is but 7 planets outside of earth! it also believes that earth was made 1000 years ago which of course all these facts are not true,it also does not believe in dinosaur!! Islam is making up stuff to agree with science and I have never in my life seen such a fraud for a religion I mean c'mon even scienceology doesn't even do this! as a Muslim I feel saddened by these stupid idiots that keep making us look like fools again and again!!

idiot. if science can't explain it, nothing can. watch richard dawkins idiot.
