Muslims contributions to correcting faiths of former nations

Muslims have always made outstanding contributions on faith and religious conception. Before Islam, the world had a dark vision of the truth of divinity. There were deviations, superstitions, and polytheism even at the time of great philosophers, such as Aristotle. Polytheism dominated in India, Europe plunged into conflict between the religious and worldly authorities, polytheism spread among Arabs.

Muslims’ innovation of Sharia-related sciences

Contributions of Muslim scholars to the development of science of history

History is an old science that began with the existence of the human society itself, while the science of Islamic history began with the emergence of Islam and the establishment of its state. It was marked by originality and independence. Muslims had diverse historical writing methods, involving books of Prophetical biography, the Messenger's battles, biographies and genealogies, classes, local histories and general histories.

Muslims’ innovation of sciences related to Arabic

Religious conception in Islamic civilization

Muslim scholars’ contributions to development of philosophy

Philosophy was one of the common sciences that people came to know before Islamic civilization. Muslim scholars learned about philosophy only after the spread of translation during the First Abbasid era. The stance taken by Muslims towards philosophy was one of opposition, moderation, or leniency. Great, genius philosophers, such as Al-Kindi (Alkindus), Al-Farabi (Alpharabius), Ibn Sina (Avicenna), and Ibn Rushd (Averroes), appeared and their marks still exist.

Tolerance and Humane Aspects of Muslim Civilisation

Muslims, as a minority in Western societies, have come under severe strain since September 11th, 2001, in particular.The Italian Prime Minister, just like the deceased Dutch right winger Pym Fortyn and scores more in their wake, have engaged in open diatribes against Islam, labeling it a faith of darkness, a negation to civilization and progress; intolerant and in-humane, and so on and so forth; a language reminiscent of that thrown at the faith in the 19th century just prior to, and in the wake of, the occupation of Islamic lands.

Contributions of Muslim scholars to the development of science of literature

The Arabs took up the science of literature before the emergence of Islam, but did not learn it from others. Arabic literature is divided into poetry and prose. Poetry experienced major development stages in pre-Islamic period until the Abbasid era, and had varied purposes, while prose had varied examples of messages, proverbs, stories and maqamat (short stories and a genre of Arabic rhythmic prose).

Ibn Khaldun innovating sociology

Ibn Khaldun is seen as the father of this science and the one who wrote down its basics and theorities. He is best known for his Muqaddimah (known as Prolegomenon in the West); the book in which he presented all he had in mind about this new field.
