List Of Muslim Scientist and Scholars:
Ibn al-Haytham:
- First person to test hypotheses with verifiable experiments, developing the scientific method more than 200 years before European scholars learned of it—by reading his books.
- Ibn al-Haytham made significant contributions to the principles of optics, as well as to physics, astronomy, mathematics, ophthalmology, philosophy, visual perception, and to the scientific method. He was also nicknamed Ptolemaeus Secundus ("Ptolemy the Second") or simply "The Physicist" in medieval Europe. Ibn al-Haytham wrote insightful commentaries on works by Aristotle, Ptolemy, and the Greek mathematician Euclid.
Ibn Sina:
- Wrote almost 450 treatises on a wide range of subjects, of which around 240 have survived. Many of his woorks concentrated on philosophy and medicine. He is considered by many to be "the father of modern medicine." In particular, 150 of his surviving treatises concentrate on philosophy and 40 of them concentrate on medicine.
Abu Bakr Mohammad Ibn Zakariya al-Razi
- He saw the importance of recording a patient’s case history and made clinical notes about the progress and symptoms of different illnesses, including his own.
- One of his most innovative assertions was related to measles and smallpox. Previously they were lumped together simply as a disease that caused rashes, but through careful observation al-Razi recorded the differences in appearance of the skin inflammations as well as the accompanying physical symptoms, and proposed correctly that they were indeed two distinct diseases.
Omar Khayyam:
.- was an Islamic scholar who was a poet as well as a mathematician. He compiled astronomical tables and contributed to calendar reform and discovered a geometrical method of solving cubic equations by intersecting a parabola with a circle
Abdullah el Idrisi:
- His famous planisphere, a large global map made of precious metal (mostly silver), did not survive the twelfth century, but it is known to have been a noteworthy work of geography - probably the most accurate map of Europe, north Africa and western Asia to have been created during the Middle Ages. An atlas produced during this period survived, and has been published in Germany and Iraq
Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi:
- was an Islamic mathematician who wrote on Hindu-Arabic numerals and was among the first to use zero as a place holder in positional base notation. The word algorithm derives from his name. His algebra treatise Hisab al-jabr w'al-muqabala gives us the word algebra and can be considered as the first book to be written on algebra.
