In recent times, Western intellectuals are busy trying to deface the beautiful face of Islam. They want to defame Islam in any way, and erase the name and mark of Islam. They become a part of every campaign that leads to the defamation of Islam, so they don't miss any opportunity. Their biggest tactic is to throw dust in the eyes of Muslims in the name of modern education. Trying unsuccessfully. They repeatedly propagandize against Islam that Islam is against modern science, that Islam and modern science are antithetical to each other.
Come on! Let's take a look at the history to see if modern sciences were discouraged due to Islam or did science and technology and new sciences open up due to Islam? Before Islam, modern Greek rulers paid attention to science. During this time, Socrates, Plato, Tyus Ptolemy, and Aristotle etc. presented ideas and information with the help of observations and investigations on the earth's surface, roundness, astronomical objects, and other various issues. But after the Greeks, scientific and modern sciences were in decline during the Christian era.
During this period, Christian scholars declared these modern ideas and sciences invalid, their books were burned and their teachings were banned. As a result, Europe and the regions where the Christians ruled, sank into the darkness of ignorance. In an era where the name and sign of knowledge and wisdom had been erased by the oppression and tyranny of the Christian priests, at the same time, Allah the Almighty revealed the humiliation and degradation of humanity. Taking pity on the condition of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa, he made him a prophet and a messenger and gave him countless knowledge and wisdom. Whose revelation began with the word "Iqra" which means "Read". Because you were a mother, then the Master said: "Indeed, I have been sent as a teacher." "Allah the Almighty revealed to you a great book like the Qur'an, no book like it was revealed to any prophet. In this book, Almighty Allah encouraged and encouraged all mankind to reflect on the universe.
In several verses, the children of Adam have been ordered to reflect on the creations of Allah Almighty! Look closely at his signs! Thanks to this inspiration from the Holy Qur'an, Muslims undertook to acquire knowledge and spread it. This is the reason that this period from the 8th century AD to the 13th century was the Islamic era of knowledge and wisdom. During this period, Muslims not only revived the forgotten sciences of philosophy, medicine, and science but also gave them a new direction with their modern research. Abu Hashim Khalid bin Yazid - who is called the founder of alchemy, and was a great scholar of alchemy and medicine - wrote several books on this subject.
Al-Biruni recognized him as the first Hakim of the Muslims. Jabir bin Hayyan, who was a disciple of Hazrat Jafar Sadiq v, discovered a method of making metals and acids, such as Sulphur, liquefied and then gasified. He also invented fireproof and waterproof paper. He also wrote about a hundred books about his art. The books of this Muslim scientist were also translated into the English language. Another Muslim also passed away, whose name was Abu Ali Hasan bin Al-Hashim, whom the Europeans call Malik Al-Hizen. Many such Muslim scientists have passed in this way.
During this period, many Muslim scientists became the inventors of various amazing inventions. Great Muslim scientists like Ibn al-Haytham, Jabir bin Hayyan, Ibn Sina, Al-Maqdasi, Al-Biruni, and Ibn-Batuta discovered the sciences in the light of modern observations and investigations that no one can match even today. The present scientific progress of Europe is due to these Muslim scientists. His books became a guide for Europe. Even today, sections of al-Shafi'a and al-Qunun are included in their curriculum. Wasn't this all the hard work of the Muslims, who in modern times started calling themselves scientists by using their books?
Islam removed the darkness of ignorance from the world. The purpose of Islamic teachings was that people should think about their surroundings and themselves. With the advent of Islam, the currents of thought changed. Modern scientific development has provided us with new means of reflection, so as science progresses, the Qur'an provides evidence for its miracles. Today, if Muslims are lagging behind in modern science, it is their own fault. And there is neglect of Islamic teachings. Their shortcomings cannot be blamed on Islam at all. But after this whole situation, it can be estimated that how much truth is there in the claim of the anti-Islamic forces that "Islam is against modern science?".
