Historia Scientica Islamica
History of the struggle of Muslims in the world civilization
has been in a very long time, more or less around 13 centuries, namely
Messenger since the leadership in Al-Madinah continued by Daulah Rashidun
(632-661M) until the ousting Ottoman Turkish Empire on 28 Rajab in 1342 H or
coincided with date March 3, 1924 M. At the time the success and the top
athlethe many born Muslim scientists caliber international who has reached the
papers extraordinary and beneficial for mankind. This era happened for more than
700 years, starting from the twentieth century 6 M until the 12th century M. At
that time control world civilization cavalier Muslims.
When great success Islamic civilization, search spirit
knowledge is so thick in daily life. Search spirit knowledge that evolved into
a tradition intellectuals historically started from the understanding of the
Qur'an, which was revealed to God's Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (saas) that
he understood, interpreted and developed by the prophet's companions, tabiin,
tabi' tabiin and the scholars who come after by reference to Prophet Muhammad's
wives.
Now the time the success and golden age Islamic civilisation
at least can be classified as follows:
The Era our
Prophet Muhammad SAW (622-632M) and period Rashidun (632-661 M)
success in building our Prophet Muhammad (saas)Islamic
civilisation unmatched in history achieved in the last 23 years, that is 13
years to prepare for the same Mecca (Makiyyah) and 10-year period Al-Madinah
(Medinan Sura). 23-Year period is a life
span less than one generation, where She was, which had control over the
nations that older their civilizations at that time, especially Romans,
Persians and Egypt.
A French think named Dr. Gustave Le Bone said:
"In a century to
3 generations, there were no nations man can make changes that reflect. French
people need 30 descent or 1000 new year to form a society that beridentitas
France. This was also found in all the people and the people without exception
in addition from the nation, because Muhammad the Messenger has been able to
build a new community within one generation (23 years) that could not be
imitated or made by other".
The apostolic times at the end of the period Mohammed's
Medina was the top Islamic civilization, because eastward Islamic system
perfected and be established in public life, nation and country. As God says
that it is written in the Qur'an "On this day has fashioned for you and
completed My favor unto my blessing to you, and have acting rightly Islam, so
religion for you". (Surat.
Al-Ma'ida : 3).
The generation that time is best generation as God says:
"You are the best of Peoples, evolved for mankind,
enjoining ma'ruf, and forbid ones, and believing in Allah". (Surat. Ali Imran : 110).
Period Daulah Umaiyah (661-750M)
The Daulah Umaiyah lasted for more or less 90 years. Some of
the Caliph Umayyad Caliphate is great muawiya Abi Sufyan (661-680 M), Abdul
Malik (685- 705 M), Al-Waleed bin Abdul Malik (705-715 M), Umar bin Abdul Aziz
(717- 720 M) and hashim Ibn Abdul Malik (724- 743 M). Berlangsungya Early period Daulah Umaiyah
more priority to the expansion territory. Expansion territory that it stopped
at the Caliph Uthman and the Four Rightly Ali Ibn Abi Talib continued again by
Daulah Umaiyah. In those days I, Tunisia conquered. In the East, I can be
controlled the area Khurasan came to the Oxus River and Afghanistan to Kabul.
The Host seawater did the attacks, the capital city of Constantinople
Byzantium. Expansion in the Middle east that will be done I then followed by
the Caliph Abd Malik. He sent the army crossed the Oxus River and which has
subjected Balkh, Bukhara, Ibnu Khawarizm, Ferghana and the Amulet of Samarkand.
His forces and even to India and able to control Baluchistan, Sind and the
Punjab to Maltan.
Expansion to the West in large-scale continued in the
Al-Waleed bin Abdul Malik. The era of Al-Walid is the peace, prosperity and
order, where Muslims feel happy life. During his reign that runs less than ten
years, noted that at the end of 711 M conduct a military expedition from North
Africa towards the Southwestern region, the European continent. After Algeria
and Morocco can ditundukan, Tariq ibn Ziyad, commander of the Muslim army, with
troops crossing the strait that separates Morocco with the European continent,
and landed at a place now known as Gibraltar (Jabal Tariq). Spanish army can be
defeated. Thus, Spain was subjected to further expansion. The capital of Spain,
Cordova, with can be mastered quickly. Following after that other cities such
as Seville, Elvira and Toledo were used as the new capital of Spain after the
fall of Cordova. Islamic forces gained the victory with ease due to the support
of local people who have long suffered from the cruelty of rulers. At the time
of Umar bin Abdul Aziz, the attack was carried to France through the mountains
Piranee. This attack led by Aburrahman bin Abdullah Al-Ghafiqi. He began by
attacking Bordeaux, Poitiers. From there he tried to attack Tours. However, in
a battle that occurred outside the town of Tours, Al-Ghafiqi killed, and his
army retreated back to Spain. Besides the areas mentioned above, the islands
located in the Mediterranean Sea also fell into the hands of Islam at the time
of the Umayyads.
With the successful expansion into several areas, both in
the east and the west, the Islamic empire Umayyad period is really very broad.
Areas that include Spain, North Africa, Syria, Palestine, the Arabian
Peninsula, Iraq, parts of Asia Minor, Persia, Afghanistan, the region is now
called Pakistan, Turkmenia, Uzbek, and Kyrgyz in Central Asia. Besides the
expansion of Islamic rule, the Umayyads also done much to development in
various fields. In the field of scientific development, the Umayyad Daula begin
by issuing a strategic policy. Is Caliph Abdul Malik (685-705M) is the first
successful Khalifah did share reform of public administration, where he ordered
the use of Arabic as an official language of government and state
administration throughout the Islamic lands stretching from Thian Shan
Mountains in the east to the Pyrenees Mountains in Next West, including in many
other state administration. In further developments Arabic became the common
language as the language of instruction of the world (lingua franca), also a
diplomatic language between the Nation between the West and the East and even
develop into a scientific language until the time of renaissance. Until Roger
Bacon (1214-1294 AD) of Oxford's most experts thought the British, according to
Ecyclopedia Britannica, 1951, volume II, pages 191-197, pushing such a way to
learn Arabic in order to obtain highly pure knowledge, which states that:
"Roger Bacon, placing beside Aristole Averroes and Avicenna, recomends the
study of Arabic as the only way of getting the knowledge roomates bad versions
Obscured ", which" recommends studying Arabic as the only way to
obtain the knowledge that has been obscured by versions ugly "before.
Progress intellectual tradition and knowledge at the time of the Umayyad Daula
in Andalusia perceived by the European public. Oliver Leaman describe the
condition of the intellectual life there as follows:
"... .In Past great civilizations appeared in Andalus,
anyone in Europe who want to know something scientifically he should go to
Andalus. At that time a lot of problems in Latin literature that is still
unresolved, and if someone goes to Andalus then on his return from there he was
suddenly able to resolve those problems. So Islam in Spain has a reputation for
hundreds of years and topped the highest in the knowledge of philosophy,
science, engineering and mathematics. He is similar to the American position
today, where several important universities are ".
In the other fields, the development is done Muawiyah them
establish post offices and certain places by providing a complete horse with
his equipment along the way. He also tried to curb the armed forces and
printing of currency. At the time, a special office of a judge (qadi) began to
develop into its own profession. Qadhi is a specialist in their field. Caliph
Abdul Malik currency change Byzantine and Persian used in areas controlled by
Islam. To that end, he scored a separate currency in the year 659 AD by using
words and Arabic script. The success of Caliph Abdul Malik followed by his son
Al-Walid bin Abdul Malik (705-715 AD), a strong-willed and capable of carrying
out the construction. He built homes for the disabled. All personnel involved
in humanitarian work are paid by the state permanently. He also built roads
connecting one region to another, factories, government buildings and magnificent
mosques.
In the trade field namely during the Islamic civilization
has mastered the world trade since the beginning of the Umayyad Daula
(661-750M), where the Indian Ocean coast to the Sind Valley, so intertwined
unity vast territory from East to West which has implications for the smooth
traffic trade plains between China and the western hemisphere Thian Shan
mountains through the Silk Road (Silk Road) is famous for, which then opens
also the trade route through the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Aden that
connects the trading cities along the coast of the European continent, causing
"Europe needs at that time very dependent on trade activity in the
territory of Islam ".
Daula
Abbasid Period (750 AD - 1258 AD)
Sovereignty Abbasid period lasted for 508 years, a fairly
long span of history in a civilization. Based on changes in patterns of
government and politics, historians typically divide the reign of Bani Abbas
into five periods:
(1) First Period (750 M 847 M), called the first period
of Persian influence;
(2) Second Period (847 AD-945 AD), called the first
period of Turkish influence;
(3) Third Period (945 AD-1055 AD), a period of dynastic
power in the government Buwaih Abbasid Caliphate. This period is also called a
second period of Persian influence;
(4) Fourth Period (1055 AD-1194 AD), the reign of the
Seljuk dynasty Bani Abbasid Caliphate in the government; usually referred to as
the second period of Turkish influence; (5) Fifth period (1194 AD-1258 AD), the
time of Caliph free from the influence of another dynasty, but his power is
only effective in around the city of Baghdad.
Unlike in the period of the Umayyad, Abbasid Daula first
period prioritize development of Islamic civilization and culture rather than
territorial expansion. Noted the historical fact that the period of the Abbasid
sovereignty is a brilliant achievement in the Islamic world in the fields of
science, technology and philosophy. At that time two-thirds of the world is
ruled by the Islamic Caliphate.
Period of ten first Caliph of the Abbasid Daula was the era
(golden) Islamic civilization, where Baghdad experienced a rapid advancement of
science. Politically, the caliphs actually was a strong character and is the
center of political power and religion as well. On the other hand, the
prosperity of the people reached the highest level. This period also succeeded
in preparing the foundation for the development of philosophy and science in
Islam. But after this period expires, the Bani Abbas government began to
decline in the political field, although the philosophy and science continues
to evolve.
In the past ten first Caliph, the crowning achievement of
progress of Islamic civilization occurred during the reign of Harun al-Rashid
(786-809 AD). Harun Al-Rashid is an expert pious caliph figure of worship,
happy bershadaqah, very loved science and loved the scholars, happy to be
criticized and longed advice mainly from the scholars. During his reign to do a
translation movement of Greek books by paying the translators of the Christians
and adherents of other religions who are experts. He also established many
schools, which is one of the major work is the development of Baitul Hikmah, a
translation center that serves as a university with a huge library. Libraries
at the time it is more of a university, because in addition there are books,
there are also people can read, write and discuss.
Harun Al-Rashid also use a lot of wealth to be used for
social purposes. Hospitals, educational institutions physicians, and pharmacy
established. In his time there were already at least 800 people physician. In
addition, public baths were also built. Welfare, social, health, education,
science, and culture and literature are in its golden age. During this period
the Islamic state established itself as the strongest country that is
unmatched. The development of
educational institutions at the time of Harun Al Rashid reflects the
development and progress of science. It is largely determined by the
development of the Arabic language, either as an administrative language that
has been in effect since the Umayyad era, as well as the language of science.
In the reign of the first Abbasid also born priests live
four schools of law that Imam Abu Hanifa (700-767 AD), Imam Malik (713-795 AD),
Imam Shafi'i (767-820 AD) and Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (780 -855 M).
Achievement of the progress of the Islamic world in the
fields of science can not be separated from the open attitude of the Islamic
government at that time to the various cultures of nations previously such as
Greece, Persia, India and others. Translation movement done since the Caliph
Al-Mansur (745-775 AD) to Harun Al-Rashid has implications for the development
of general science, particularly in the fields of astronomy, medicine,
philosophy, chemistry, pharmacy, biology, physics and history.
According Demitri Gutas process of translation in the
Abbasid era driven by social motives, political and intellectual. This means
that the parties to both the elements of society, the ruling elite, businessmen
and scholars involved in this process, so the effects are culturally very
large.
Translation movement in those days was followed by a period
of great creativity, as a new generation of scientists and experts think the
Muslims who learned it then build the knowledge gained to contribute them in
various fields of science.
According to Marshall, the process pengislaman traditions
far it has done more than just integrate and improve, it has produced
extraordinary creative energy. According to him, the period of the Caliphate in
the Islamic history was a period of development in the fields of science,
knowledge and culture, which at that time had given birth to great figures in
the fields of philosophy and science as Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Al-Farabi.
Various educational center where studying with major
libraries have sprung up in Cordova, Palermo, Nishapur, Cairo, Baghdad,
Damascus, and Bukhara, which at the same time have outperformed Europe who
drowned in darkness for centuries. Political and cultural life from both
Muslims and non-Muslims of the era carried out within the framework of Islam
and the Arabic language, although there are differences of religion and tribal
plural.
At that time Muslims have managed to do an accelerated,
outpacing civilization that existed at that time. The tradition of scientific,
intellectual tradition through penerjamahan movement followed by probe movement
that is supported by strong spirit of collaboration and search, the development
of science is evolving rapidly, resulting in a leap of progress in various
fields of science that has spawned a variety of outstanding scientific work.
According to Oliver Leaman translation process that Muslim
scientists do not just translate Greek works in ansich, but also examine the
texts, comment, modify and assimilate the teachings of Islam. The assimilation
process according to Thomas Brown occur when the Islamic civilization has been
solid. Science, philosophy and Greek kedoketeran adopted so that entry into the
Islamic way of life environment. This process illustrates the high level of
creativity so that the Muslim scientists of the process has given birth to new
ideas that are completely different from Greek thought and may even be foreign
to Greek thought.
At the early stages of development of power, Islam has
contributed to the world in the form of three types of essential tools, namely
paper (paper), compass (compass) and gunpowder (gunpowder). The invention of
the printing press (movable types) in China at the end of the 8th century AD
and the invention of a similar print in the West in the mid 15th century by
Johann Gutenberg, according to the book Historians' History of the World, will
be no meaning and use if it is not Arabs first find ways for papermaking.
Glorious achievement as the implications of the translation
movement performed at the time of the Abbasid Daula was very evident at the
birth of the renowned Muslim scientists and international caliber such as:
Al-Biruni on the physical sciences and medicine;
Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber) in chemistry;
Al-Khwarizmi (Algorism) in mathematics;
Al-Kindi (philosophy);
Al-Fazari, Al-Fargani, Al-Bitruji (astronomy);
Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn Haythami in the field of engineering
and optics;
Ibn Sina (Avicenna), known as Father of Modern Medicine;
Ibn Rushd (Averroes) in the field of philosophy;
Ibn Khaldun (history, sociology)
They all have laid the foundation in the various fields of
science. Some other Muslim scholars during the Abbasid Daula whose work is
recognized the world including:
Al-Razi (teacher
of Ibn Sina), working in the field of chemistry and medicine, produces 224
titles, 140 books on medicine, translated into Latin. The most famous book is
Al-Hawi Fi 'Ilm At Tadawi (30 volumes, containing about the kinds of disease
and healing efforts). His books became reference materials and guide physicians
throughout Europe until the 17th century, Al-Razi was the first character that
distinguish between smallpox to measles. He was also the first to compile a
book about pediatrics. Afterward, kedokteraan science in the hands of Ibn Sina.
Al-Battani
(Al-Batenius), an astronomer. The results of the calculation of the earth
around the center of the solar system within 365 days, 5 hours, 46 minutes, 24
seconds, anywhere near accurate. The most famous book Kitab Al Zij in Latin: De
Scienta Stellerum u De Numerical Stellerumet Motibus, where the oldest
translation of his work still exist in Vatican.
Al Ya'qubi, a
geographer, historian and traveler. The oldest book in the history of geography
titled Al Buldan (891), which was reissued by the Netherlands with the title
Waddih qui dicitur Ibn al-Ya'qubi Historiae.
Al Buzjani (Abul
Wafa). He developed some important theories in mathematics (geometry and
trigonometry).
History has proven that the Islamic contribution to the
advancement of science in the modern world became undeniable historical fact.
Even stems from the world of Islam is the science experience transmission
(distribution, transmission), dissemination and proliferation (development) to
the Western world that were previously covered by the term 'the Dark Ages' to
encourage the emergence of the renaissance era or enlightenment (enlightenment)
in Europe. Through the Islamic world was the one they had access to explore and
develop modern science. According to George Barton, when the Western world is
ripe enough to feel the need for deeper knowledge, attention first of all is
not addressed to Greek sources, but to Arab sources.
Before Islam came, according Gustav Le Bon, Europe is in a
state of darkness, none of the advanced science even more superstitious. An
interesting story happened at the time when the leadership of Daula Abbasid
Harun al-Rashid, when he sends clock as a gift on a ruler in the European
Charlemagne. A timer that goes off every hour by the bishop and the monk
suspected that in that hour there genie so that they feel frightened, because
it is regarded as a magical item. During that period and subsequent periods,
both in the East and in parts of Western Christian Christians still use the
hourglass as the timing
How is the condition of the darkness of Europe in the Middle
Ages (9th century AD) not only on the mental aspects which tend to be
superstitious, so does the physical aspect of the material. It is as described
by William Drapper:
"In those days the Capital of Islamic rule in Cordova
is the most civilized city in Europe, 113,000, 21 suburbs, 70 libraries and
bookstores, mosques and palaces are many. Cordova becomes of the renowned all
over the world, where long road for miles and has hardened illuminated with
lights from *the houses ditepinya. While conditions in London seven centuries
after it (the 15th century AD), one light umumpun no. In Paris centuries after
the time of Cordova, people who stepped over the threshold of the door in the
rain, walked up to his ankles into the mud ". According to Philip K.
Hitti, civilization distance between the Muslims under the leadership of Harun
Al-Rashid civilization far beyond that of the Christians led Charlemagne.
The middle of the 9th century AD Islamic civilization has
been covering the whole of Spain. The entry of Islam into Spain which after
Abdurrahman ad-Dakhil (756 AD) managed to build a government based in
Andalusia. Through Spain, Sicily and Southern France which are directly under
the rule of Islam, Islamic civilization into Europe. Arabic became the
international language used by various tribes in various countries in the
world. Cordova Baghdad in the East and in the West, two giant cities of Islam
enlighten the world with glorious light. Around the year 830 AD, King Alfonsi
Asturian has brought two Islamic scholars to educate their heirs. School of
Medicine, founded in Montpellier, France fostered by some people Grand Master
of Andalusia. The scientific excellence of the Muslims spread far into Europe
and attract intellectuals and aristocrats West to its lands. Among them were
Roger Bacon (British), Gerbert d'Aurillac who later became the first French
pope with the title of Sylvester II, for 3-year stay in Toledo to study
mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and other sciences of Islamic scholars.
It is not surprising, because at that time the ruling
Islamic caliphate Spain into learning centers (centers of learning) for
European society at the University of Cordova. In Andalusia's why they are
widely studied, and of the country appear the names of great scholars such as:
Imam Ash-Syathibi author of the book Al-Muwafaqat, a book on
Usul Fiqh very influential.
Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi author of the book Al-Fashl fi al-Milal
wa al-Ahwa 'wa al-Nihal, a book on comparative sects and religions of the
world, where such evidence has inspired the writers of the West to do the same.
In Andalusia (Southern Spain), various university at the
time was met by many Catholic students from France, Britain, Germany and Italy.
At that time, the Christian youth from various countries in Europe were sent in
droves to a number of universities in Andalusia in order to gain the science
and technology of Muslim scientists. Is Gerard of Cremona, Campanus of Navarra,
Aberald of Bath, Albert and Daniel of Morley who has been studying so much from
the Muslim scientists, to then go home and use them effectively for research
and development in each nation.
From this and a revolution of thought and culture has broken
out and spread to the whole society and the whole continent. The Christian
youths who previously had much to learn from the Muslim scientists, has successfully
performed a transformation of values superior to Islamic civilization which is then implemented in their
civilization (West) which in turn has implications for advances in various
fields of science.
The splendor of the development of science and knowledge in
the Islamic world is indicated by the many libraries are scattered in cities
and lands of Islam that number is very fantastic. History records, library at
Cordova in the 10th century AD had 600,000 volumes. Library Darul Hikmah at
Cairo had 2,000,000 volumes. Al-Hakim in Andalusia Library has many books in 40
rooms that each room contains 18,000 volumes. Library Abudal Daulah in Shiros
(Southern Iran) books meet 360 rooms. While hundreds of years later (15th
century AD), according to the Encyclopedia Catholik records, library Canterbury
Church which is the library's most affluent Western world when the amount does
not exceed 1,800 book volumes.
History also noted that Archbishop Raymond in Spain set up a
Translator Board in Toledo that aimed to translate the majority of Muslim
scholars essay about science, astronomy, chemistry, medicine, philosophy, and
others. Where the time needed to translate that over a half a century
(1135-1284 AD).
From centers of Islamic civilization which includes Baghdad,
Damascus, Cordova, Seville, Granada and Istanbul, has been emitting light that
illuminates sparkling all over the world especially Cordova, Seville, Granada,
which is part of the Muslim rule in Spain has made a major contribution to
growth and the development of modern civilization in the Western world.
Until the
Ottoman Caliphate period Prolapse
In the Ottoman era, historians agree that the days of Caliph
Sulaiman Al-Qanuni (1520-1566 AD) is the glory days and the greatness of his
time has been outperforming the European countries in the fields of military,
science and politics.
After the end of the rule Daula Abbasid Islamic leadership
continues with the leadership of the Ottoman Daulah. Daula Ottoman which is
also known as the Turkish Ottoman Empire, or Empire, founded by Bani Uthman,
who for more than six centuries of its power (1299 till 1923) led by 36 people
sultan, before finally collapsed and fragmented into several smaller states.
The Sultanate has become a center of interaction between the
West and the East for six centuries. At the height of its power, the Ottoman
Empire was divided into 29 provinces with Constantinople (now Istanbul) as its
capital. In the 16th century and into the 17th, the Ottoman Empire became one
of the world's major powers with a strong navy. The power of the Ottoman Empire
gradually eroded in the 19th century, until finally completely collapsed in the
20th century enemies of Islam took over a century to break the bonds of Islamic
ideology of the body of Muslims, which in the end date of March 3, 1924 M which
coincides with the 28th of Rajab 1342 Hijri, through Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who
is a British agent and a member of Freemasonry (a Jewish organization),
dissolve the institution last Islamic Caliphate in Turkey and replacing it with
the Republic of Turkey. So, since that time the Islamic ideology completely
buried is marked with the removal of the caliphate institution by the Turkish
national assembly and the expulsion of the last Caliph.
VITAL RECORDS
Listen to how great the contribution of Islam to the birth
of the world-wide Islamic civilization, especially in terms of science and
technology, real progress comes from the West at the beginning of Islamic
civilization. Western world is now actually have to thank Muslims. But in
reality the West (non Muslims) have deliberately cover up a huge role on the
merit of the fighters and the Muslim scientist who eventually abandoned even
forgotten. Therefore, Muslims need to re-inflame the Muslim scientists
scientific spirit over immense contribution to the civilization of mankind in
the world to welcome back the glory of Islam and his people.
We can listen, that the crowning achievement of mastery of
science and technology in the glory days of the Muslim past is closely linked
to the establishment of the Caliphate system, where the system is globally
integrated command that act politically in line with the role of religion. We
also get an overview of the history that the figure of the previous leaders
pious statesman than as a reliable and qualified, as well as a scholar wara
'were afraid of his Lord, love science and love people. On this aspect we can
see the integration of the three main pillars in the formation of Islamic
civilization, namely religion, politics and science integrated into the control
system of the Caliphate / Khilafah led by a caliph.
Sustainability of the system, especially since the days of
the Caliphate Daula Daula Umayyad and Abbasid Khalifa though it may be mulk
(estapeta / leadership based on the descent / dynasty), which sometimes led by
the pious and once upon a time led by the injustice and lawlessness, but the
worst of conditions at the time of the Caliphate, still much better than the
period after tercerabutnya Caliphate, because during the Caliphate, Islamic law
is still upright and adhered to by Muslims, as well as their adherence to
various fatwas of the scholars.
Overcast early Islamic civilization that have occurred since
the 8th century Hijra (13th century AD) until the 14th century Hijra (20th century
AD) which has resulted in the transition process of Islamic civilization to
Western keperadaban marked by the Enlightenment in the West as well as the
occurrence of colonization , conquest and annexation of the Muslim countries by
war fleet from Western countries was caused by the weakening of the political
legitimacy of the Islamic world because of the role of the Caliphate tend to be
symbols and merely ceremonial, until the fall of the Caliphate in the Islamic
world. From there then the start of the hegemony of the West against the
Islamic world.
So, actually the main factor defeat and weakening the role
of Muslims is not so much the strength of the enemies of Islam, but rather due
to the weakening of the powers Muslims caused by the act of disobedience is
done. Most notably in the form of an attitude of disobedience associating Allah
(polytheists) in worship, and do not care anymore on various rules (shari'ah)
is commanded.
Immoral acts committed by Muslims that is what has been
feared by Umar bin Khattab ra when he became Caliph. This, as we can see from
his written message ever conveyed to Sa'ad bin Abi Waqash when it will face a
battle. On it was written the following message:
Umar bin Kaththab ra. has written a letter to Sa'ad bin Abi
Waqash ra: "We command you and to all the troops you are leading, so that
taqwa in all circumstances, because the pious to Allah is seutama-primary
preparatory and most powerful strategy in the face of battle. I Similarly
commanded you and forces you to lead in order to really keep away from the
sinner. Because sinners are you doing at the time struggled more than I worry
about the strength of the enemy, for you will be helped by the enemies of God
if God had done little immoral, because if not so you will not have the strength
because our numbers are not as much as the number of their troops, where they
are different preparations with the preparation we do. If we have the same
sinner as was done by our enemies, the strength of the enemy will intensify. It
the weight we will be able to defeat our enemy if only rely on the strength
that we have, except by relying on our faith in God and always keep away from
the sinner ... ".
All the good things of the predecessors of Muslims should be
a reflection of an example to us, while all the things that are less good,
actually serve as a very valuable lesson. So that someday golden era and the
glory of Islam can we achieve back.
THE DARKNESS? THE LOST FUTURE?
Dark Ages, a period of darkness in question is considered to
be a time when the world was full of ignorance and chaos when it reversed after
scientists studied deeply conscious and explore the history, there were
situations glories of Islamic civilization from the above remarks already made
many contributions to the world of today , Various disciplines have been
developed by scientists around the world with Muslim civilization centers are
in Baghdad, Spain (Andalusia) through some periods that berlalu.Tulisan
caliphate is opening insights and reference material for anyone who wants to
learn and take many lessons from history Islamic civilization that once ruled
the world 2/3 for> 10 century?
The western world impressed many are reluctant to cover the
history of world civilization honestly reveal mostly in the wake of the Islamic
civilization, especially in the field of science. Various things in the world
is not separated from the discoveries that were found and created by many
Muslim scientists. This way of trying to cover up the role of Muslims in the
intellectual world in a way that is stupid, but the world continues to grow and
continues to evolve the way pikirpun, historical relics can not be hidden
1. From the world of time travel science culturally
prosecuted honest through reference retrieval system of knowledge gained
previously as do Muslim scientists took dasar2 den then develop scientific
Greece
2. Muslim Scientists are maintaining the trust because
cling to the teachings of their religion are required to do that
Call it a wide range of fields such as physics, biology,
mathematics, astronomy, astrology, medicine, the arts, culture, music,
economics, sociology and banyaak field of science that created and built by
scientists Muslims during the - / + 10 centuries. And concepts and their
inventions are still used even partially in the claim as their invention. Ibn
Sina heritage books until now in the Museum of New York
Thankful Muslims are taught by the Prophet to be thorough
and honest in doing so every step scientists were certainly recorded and pupils
have to continue, then we can conclude that the term Dark Ages is the result
kebodohon thieves science or an admission of not being able to see the
development of the world at that time
Whereas since the 7th century through Baitul Hikmah in
Baghdad and research centers in Andalusia, Spain, later to become the central
point of scientific discoveries of various disciplines which is currently a
reference ilmuwan2 world. Ironically, all fields of science it's all summed up
beautifully in the books and manuscripts of research scientists are currently
many Muslims in the 'collection' in libraries in Europe and America. What about
the real heir, namely our Muslim Ummah? We can only be a spectator and admirer
of creation scientists west, that's all. And ironically again the results that
we enjoy invention is a development of what has been discovered by scientists
earlier Muslims.
It is the Muslim Ummah who should inherit and carry forward
various inventions of science and scientists early Muslims. But what about the
fact that at this time? We only become consumers and not producers. Admirers
and not admired. Connoisseurs and not the created.
It is our Muslim Ummah which should contribute further to
kemashlahatan mankind as the true Islam is a mercy to all the worlds ...
Rahmatan lil Alamin.
Even 2/3 vocabulary Indonesian and Malay language was the
vocabulary uptake of Arabic, the language of the Quran that was deliberately
developed by the previous scholars to facilitate the propaganda in this
country. And now all of the terms and vocabulary in society we too have shifted
even indirectly replaced gradually by the vocabulary westernized.
Ironic ...
Nevertheless, we should not be complacent and insecure,
instead we should be more active to explore various fields of science and
foster the spirit of love Qu'ran in the family in order to print the next
generation who faqih and qur'ani so that later can print new scientists qur'ani
and to benefit the community. Because in truth, the majority of Muslim scholars
triumphed in the heyday of Islam that is the penghafal and reviewers Qu'ran,
make Qu'ran as a basis of reference the various fields of science
scientifically. Because true Islam is not just a ritual worship it ... but more
than that, the guidelines and instructions to all men in all areas of life to
achieve salvation and happiness in this world and the hereafter.
By looking at the chart at the top of the 5th century until
the 16th century, they call it the dark ages. Analyzes whether the century is
full of ignorance, and who is stupid? If we want to dig a little bit of
history, in the 8th century in Baghdad alone has established hospitals and in
Fez Morocco has been established University. The lesson for us that the search
for knowledge that should be based on the honesty, until now the ideas of the
philosophers of Islam in the form of manuscripts on medicine, mathematics,
pharmacy now in Museum2 in the US and in major European cities
Scientist-Islam
With menukir to the golden age of Islam in the old days, a
moment of course we are proud to know that all kinds of knowledge that exist in
our present moment is thanks to the services of scientists Muslim world that
has almost a thousand years ago, when Muslims are the torch bearers of
knowledge in the dark ages. They created an Islamic civilization, driven by
inquiry and invention, which made the rest of the world envy for centuries.
Its architects designed buildings that defied gravity. Its
mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable computers
and data encryption can be created. Is the doctor who examined the human body,
and found new cures for diseases. Its astronomers looked into the heavens,
named the stars, and paved the way for space travel and exploration. Its
writers created thousands of stories; stories of struggle, romance and magic.
When other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them and
make them full of energy. When science is threatened removed due to censorship
by previous civilizations, this civilization keep science alive, and pass it on
to other civilizations. When modern western civilization was sharing this
knowledge, civilization I'm talking about is the Islamic world began in the
year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the city of Baghdad,
Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent.
Although we are often unaware of our indebtedness to this other civilization,
its gifts are part of our heritage. The technology industry would not exist
without the contributions of Arab mathematicians. "
Actually, it is very difficult to find a field of science
that is not indebted to the pioneers of this. Below is a short list, without
any intention to express it as the most complete, Muslim scientists from the
eighth century to the 14th century specialized in the medical world and the
physics is more structured with detailed step-development.

Actually, it is very difficult to find a field of science
that is not indebted to the pioneers of this. Below is a short list, the Muslim
philosopher who opened the horizons of science in the world, namely the Muslim
scientists from the eighth century to the 14th century.
Masawayih
Full name Abu Zakariyya Ibn Yuhanna Masawaiyh, popularly
nicknamed Ibn Masawaiyh, but the West called him Mesue. He was a famous doctor
in the ninth century AD that has contributed greatly to the development of
science in his time with the effort of translation of Greek works. In society,
the figure of Ibn Musawayh greatly admired for his intellectual ability in the
field of medical science. She has worked as a court physician. He is a pioneer
in laying the foundations of the Islamic pharmaceutical and managed to make a
number of aromatic botanicals.
His career as a renowned physician began during the reign of
al-Rasyd to al-Mutawakkil. During his work at the court, Ibn Masawayh friends
with Ibrahim bin al-Mahdi. Both have in common, which have a very big interest
in science Greece, as well as Arabic poetry. They both studied a number of
translations of Greek scientists routinely. In addition, Masawayh also
introduced with sons ar-Rasyd, one of whom was Abu al-Abbas Mohammed. In the
palace, Ibn Musawayh gets a place of honor
Ibn fame skyrocketed Musawayh quickly making hostility some
people, especially his position as court physician is the dream of every
expert. At that time, a tough competitor is a family physician Ibn Masawayh
Bukhtyashu that for 4 generations has been a family physician caliph.
Buhktyashu families have different beliefs. They faiths Nestorian, that relate
to the teachings of Greece and has a manuscript of Galen. They also believe
that a wide range of disciplines, such as astrology, medicine, and chemistry,
should be united in a single entity.
Ibn Masawaiyh has managed to gather about 30 bulbs, complete
with physical methods of observation and diagnosis of the pharmacological
effect. Ghaliyyah or mixing aromatic therapy has also been practiced in
aromatic and perfume making process. Kamper brought by Indian traders from
China used as raw material for medicine. Various spices used as materials
research and development into materials and basic materials perfume herbal
potions.
Ibn Masawayh not stop with just conduct research on a
variety of plants to be used as a drug .. As a physicist, he is very
understanding of the natural properties of various plants that can be used for
healing through empirical methodology and analogies. Very famous discovery is
the method of "diet" as a method of healing without drugs, as
contained in his book Al-Mushajjar al-Kabir. Developments in the diet has
provided an alternative method of treatment in other ways. Patients often
consider him as a specialist diet. He seriously studied a variety of foods and
beverages that can support the diet program.
Also fairly important contribution in the field of
pharmaceutical development and pharmacology. One of Ibn Masawayh is the famous
book Al-Mushajjar Al-Kabir. This book is a kind of encyclopedia that lists the
following disease treatment method through medications and diet. There are two
important works of Ibn Masawayh famous Arabic-Nawadir that an al-Thibbiyya (a
collection of media notes), as well as the Kitab al-Azmina (a description of a
wide variety of seasons of the year).
An- Nawadir al-Thibiyya is a book kumupulan theory and
medical problems. In addition to the above two works, Ibn Masawayh also never
produced a masterpiece of Latin, which Mesue. An award-winning work in Europe.
Until the fifteenth century, a Western medical expert named
Peter Gulosinus found Mesue book contains many grains of pearl knowledge and
give satisfaction as a teaching tool. Conversely, there are also some scholars
as Lecrere, which sometimes dubious Ibn Masawayh in his book Mesue. However,
readers in the West remain interested in Ibn Masawayh as a practicing physician
who accomplished.
Furthermore previously, other Islamic scientists are ar-Razi
even praised Ibn services Contines Masawayh in his work. It can be seen from
the number of references cited from the book, especially about medical
practices in addition to two other books that also he used. The second book is
a Book of fevers (Book of Fever), which is a duplicate of the work of
Hippocrates (Kitab al-Humayyat) and Kitab al-Adwiya al-Munakkiya. Both of these
books are the books written by Ibn Masawayh are also in demand in the Middle
Ages.
This is the complete story step regarding science, a script means a gift for us
