Selected Achievements of the Arabic and Muslim Civilisation

Summary/Abstract: The appreciation of science among the Arabs and their huge territorial expansion fostered development of mathematics, medicine and astronomy in the Medieval world. Borrowing extensively from neighbouring civilisations and drawing on ancient wisdom through numerous translations of classical authors, they not only improved the existing knowledge, but ventured into new fields of scientific inquiry. The Qur’an was a determining factor in charting new ways forward, and the Arabic language contributed significantly to their scientific successes. Today, we use many phrases derived from Arabic – unfortunately, most often we do it quite unknowingly. The contribution of the Arab-Muslim civilisation and its impact on the modern knowledge certainly deserves attention.
