وچئين دور جي اسلامي دنيا ۾ سائنس

**وچين دور جي اسلامي دنيا ۾ سائنس** (Science in the Medieval Islamic world)، اها سائنس جيڪا اسلامي سونهري دور ۾ بغداد جي عباسي خلافت، قرطبه جي اموي حڪومت، اشبيليه جي عبادين، ساماني، زيارڊي ۽  فارس ۽ ان کان ٻاهر بني بويه جي دور ۾، تقريبن 786ع ۽ 1258ع جي وچ ۾، ترقي ڪئي هئي. اسلامي سائنسي ڪاميابيون مختلف ميدانن تي، خاص ڪري علم فلڪيات، رياضي ۽ طب تي مشتمل آهن. سائنسي تحقيق جي ٻين مضمونن ۾ ڪيميا ۽  علم ڪيميا، نباتاتيات ۽ زراعت، جاگرافي ۽ نقشا نگاري، بصريات، اکين جي علم، فارماڪولوجي، طبيعيات ۽ علم حيوانيات شامل آهن.

وچين دور جي اسلامي سائنس جا مقصد عملي فائدن سان گڏ تحقيق ۽ علم به هئا. مثال طور، علم فلڪيات *[[قبلو|قبله جي]]* تعين ڪرڻ لاءِ مفيد هو، جنهن طرف نماز ادا ڪئي وڃي ٿي، علم نباتاتيات کي زراعت ۾ عملي طور استعمال ڪيو ويو، جيئن ابن بسال ۽ ابن العوام جي ڪمن ۾ ۽ جاگرافي ابو زيد البلخي کي نقشا درست ڪرڻ جي قابل بڻايو. اسلامي رياضيدانن جهڙوڪ الخوارزمي، ابن سينا ۽ جمشيد الڪشي الجبرا، ٽرگنوميٽري، جاميٽري ۽ عربي انگن ۾ ترقي ڪئي. مسلمان طبيب، چيچڪ ۽ خسري جهڙي بيمارين کي بيان ڪيو ۽ ڪلاسيڪل يوناني طبي نظريي کي چيلينج ڪيو. البيروني، ابن سينا ۽ ٻين ٻوٽن ۽ ڪيميائي مرڪبن مان ٺهيل سوين دوائن جي تياري ٻڌايو. مسلمان طبيعيات دانن جهڙوڪ ابن الهيثم، البيروني ۽ ٻين بصريات ۽ ميڪانيات سان گڏوگڏ فلڪيات جو اڀياس ڪيو ۽ ارسطو جي حرڪت جي باري ۾ نظريي تي تنقيد ڪئي.

وچين دور ۾، اسلامي سائنس رومي سمنڊ جي چوڌاري وسيع علائقي ۾ ۽ اڳتي هلي، ڪيترن ئي صدين تائين، ادارن جي هڪ وسيع رينج ۾ ترقي ڪئي.

## پس منظر ۽ تاريخ

اسلامي دور سال 622ع ۾ شروع ٿيو. اسلامي فوجون آخرڪار عربستان، مصر ۽ عراق کي فتح ڪري ورتو ۽ ڪاميابيءَ سان چند ڏهاڪن اندر پارسي ۽ بازنطيني سلطنتن کي علائقي مان نيڪالي ڏني. هڪ صدي اندر اسلام اولهه ۾ موجوده پرتگال ۽ اوڀر ۾ وچ ايشيا تائين پهچي چڪو هو. اسلامي سونهري دور (تقريبن 786 ۽ 1258 جي وچ ۾) عباسي خلافت (750ع کان 1258ع تائين) جي دور ۾، مستحڪم سياسي جوڙجڪ ۽ ترقي يافته واپار سان گڏ، ترقي ڪيو. اسلامي سلطنت جا اهم مذهبي ۽ ثقافتي ڪارناما عربي ۽ ڪڏهن ڪڏهن فارسي ۾ ترجمو ڪيا ويا. اسلامي ثقافت کي يوناني، هندستاني، آشوري ۽ فارسي ثقافتن جا اثر ورثي ۾ مليا. اسلام جي بنياد تي، اعلي ثقافت ۽ جدت جو هڪ دور، آبادي ۽ شهرن ۾ تيزيء سان واڌ سان، هڪ نئين گڏيل تهذيب قائم ڪئي وئي. عرب زرعي انقلاب ٻهراڙين ۾ وڌيڪ فصلن ۽ بهتر زرعي ٽيڪنالاجي، خاص طور تي آبپاشي کڻي آيو. هن وڏي آبادي جي حمايت ڪئي ۽ ثقافت کي ڦهلائڻ جي قابل ڪيو.  نائين صدي عيسويءَ کان پوءِ، الڪندي جهڙن عالمن هندي، آشوري، فارسي ۽ يوناني علمن جو ترجمو ڪيو، جنهن ۾ ارسطوءَ جي خيالات به شامل آهن. انهن ترجمن اسلامي دنيا جي سائنسدانن جي ترقيءَ جي حمايت ڪئي.

اسلامي سائنس اسپين جي ابتدائي عيسائي فتح کان بچي وئي، جنهن ۾ 1248ع ۾ اشبيليه جو سقوط به شامل آهي، جيئن اڀرندي مرڪزن ۾ ڪم جاري رهيو (جهڙوڪ فارس ۾). سال 1492ع ۾ اسپين جي فتح کان پوءِ اسلامي دنيا معاشي ۽ ثقافتي زوال جو شڪار ٿي وئي. عباسي خلافت جي پٺيان عثماني سلطنت (1299 کان 1922ع تائين) جو مرڪز ترڪي ۾ هو ۽ صفوي سلطنت (1501ع کان 1736ع تائين) جو مرڪز فارس ۾ هو، جتي فن ۽ سائنس ۾ ڪم جاري رهيو.

## تحقيق جا ميدان
Medieval Islamic scientific achievements encompassed a wide range of subject areas, especially mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. Other subjects of scientific inquiry included physics, alchemy and chemistry, ophthalmology, and geography and cartography.

### ڪيميا ۽ علم ڪيميا

The early Islamic period saw the establishment of theoretical frameworks in alchemy and chemistry. The sulfur-mercury theory of metals, first found in *[[Sirr al-khalīqa]]* ("The Secret of Creation", c. 750–850, falsely attributed to Apollonius of Tyana), and in the writings attributed to Jabir ibn Hayyan (written c. 850–950), remained the basis of theories of metallic composition until the 18th century. The *[[Emerald Tablet]]*, a cryptic text that all later alchemists up to and including Isaac Newton saw as the foundation of their art, first occurs in the *Sirr al-khalīqa* and in one of the works attributed to Jabir. In practical chemistry, the works of Jabir, and those of the Persian alchemist and physician Abu Bakr al-Razi (c. 865–925), contain the earliest systematic classifications of chemical substances. Alchemists were also interested in artificially creating such substances. Jabir describes the synthesis of ammonium chloride (sal ammoniac) from organic substances, and Abu Bakr al-Razi experimented with the heating of ammonium chloride, vitriol, and other salts, which would eventually lead to the discovery of the mineral acids by 13th-century Latin alchemists such as pseudo-Geber.

### فلڪيات ۽ ڪاسمولوجي

Astronomy became a major discipline within Islamic science. Astronomers devoted effort both towards understanding the nature of the cosmos and to practical purposes. One application involved determining the ''Qibla'', the direction to face during prayer. Another was astrology, predicting events affecting human life and selecting suitable times for actions such as going to war or founding a city. Al-Battani (850–922) accurately determined the length of the solar year. He contributed to the Tables of Toledo, used by astronomers to predict the movements of the sun, moon and planets across the sky. Copernicus (1473–1543) later used some of Al-Battani's astronomic tables.

Al-Zarqali (1028–1087) developed a more accurate astrolabe, used for centuries afterwards. He constructed a water clock in Toledo, discovered that the Sun's apogee moves slowly relative to the fixed stars, and obtained a good estimate of its motion for its rate of change. Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201–1274) wrote an important revision to Ptolemy's 2nd-century celestial model. When Tusi became Helagu's astrologer, he was given an observatory and gained access to Chinese techniques and observations. He developed trigonometry as a separate field, and compiled the most accurate astronomical tables available up to that time.

### علم نباتاتيات ۽ زراعت

The study of the natural world extended to a detailed examination of plants. The work done proved directly useful in the unprecedented growth of pharmacology across the Islamic world. Al-Dinawari (815–896) popularised botany in the Islamic world with his six-volume *Kitab al-Nabat* (*Book of Plants*). Only volumes 3 and 5 have survived, with part of volume 6 reconstructed from quoted passages. The surviving text describes 637 plants in alphabetical order from the letters *sin* to *ya*, so the whole book must have covered several thousand kinds of plants. Al-Dinawari described the phases of plant growth and the production of flowers and fruit. The thirteenth century encyclopedia compiled by Zakariya al-Qazwini (1203–1283) – ''ʿAjā'ib al-makhlūqāt'' (The Wonders of Creation) – contained, among many other topics, both realistic botany and fantastic accounts. For example, he described trees which grew birds on their twigs in place of leaves, but which could only be found in the far-distant British Isles. The use and cultivation of plants was documented in the 11th century by Muhammad bin Ibrāhīm Ibn Bassāl of Toledo in his book *Dīwān al-filāha* (The Court of Agriculture), and by Ibn al-'Awwam al-Ishbīlī (also called Abū l-Khayr al-Ishbīlī) of Seville in his 12th century book *Kitāb al-Filāha* (Treatise on Agriculture). Ibn Bassāl had travelled widely across the Islamic world, returning with a detailed knowledge of agronomy that fed into the Arab Agricultural Revolution. His practical and systematic book describes over 180 plants and how to propagate and care for them. It covered leaf- and root-vegetables, herbs, spices and trees.

### جاگرافي ۽ نقشا نويسي

The spread of Islam across Western Asia and North Africa encouraged an unprecedented growth in trade and travel by land and sea as far away as Southeast Asia, China, much of Africa, Scandinavia and even Iceland. Geographers worked to compile increasingly accurate maps of the known world, starting from many existing but fragmentary sources. Abu Zayd al-Balkhi (850–934), founder of the Balkhī school of cartography in Baghdad, wrote an atlas called *Figures of the Regions* (Suwar al-aqalim).
Al-Biruni (973–1048) measured the radius of the earth using a new method. It involved observing the height of a mountain at Nandana (now in Pakistan). Al-Idrisi (1100–1166) drew a map of the world for Roger, the Norman King of Sicily (ruled 1105–1154). He also wrote the *[[Tabula Rogeriana]]* (Book of Roger), a geographic study of the peoples, climates, resources and industries of the whole of the world known at that time. The Ottoman admiral Piri Reis ( 1470–1553) made a map of the New World and West Africa in 1513. He made use of maps from Greece, Portugal, Muslim sources, and perhaps one made by Christopher Columbus. He represented a part of a major tradition of Ottoman cartography.

### رياضي

Islamic mathematicians gathered, organised and clarified the mathematics they inherited from ancient Egypt, Greece, India, Mesopotamia and Persia, and went on to make innovations of their own. Islamic mathematics covered algebra, geometry and arithmetic. Algebra was mainly used for recreation: it had few practical applications at that time. Geometry was studied at different levels. Some texts contain practical geometrical rules for surveying and for measuring figures. Theoretical geometry was a necessary prerequisite for understanding astronomy and optics, and it required years of concentrated work. Early in the Abbasid caliphate (founded 750), soon after the foundation of Baghdad in 762, some mathematical knowledge was assimilated by al-Mansur's group of scientists from the pre-Islamic Persian tradition in astronomy. Astronomers from India were invited to the court of the caliph in the late eighth century; they explained the rudimentary trigonometrical techniques used in Indian astronomy. Ancient Greek works such as Ptolemy's *[[Almagest]]* and Euclid's ''Elements'' were translated into Arabic. By the second half of the ninth century, Islamic mathematicians were already making contributions to the most sophisticated parts of Greek geometry. Islamic mathematics reached its apogee in the Eastern part of the Islamic world between the tenth and twelfth centuries. Most medieval Islamic mathematicians wrote in Arabic, others in Persian.

Al-Khwarizmi (8th–9th centuries) was instrumental in the adoption of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system and the development of algebra, introduced methods of simplifying equations, and used Euclidean geometry in his proofs. He was the first to treat algebra as an independent discipline in its own right, and presented the first systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations.
Ibn Ishaq al-Kindi (801–873) worked on cryptography for the Abbasid Caliphate, and gave the first known recorded explanation of cryptanalysis and the first description of the method of frequency analysis.
Avicenna ( 980–1037) contributed to mathematical techniques such as casting out nines. Thābit ibn Qurra (835–901) calculated the solution to a chessboard problem involving an exponential series.
Al-Farabi ( 870–950) attempted to describe, geometrically, the repeating patterns popular in Islamic decorative motifs in his book *Spiritual Crafts and Natural Secrets in the Details of Geometrical Figures*. Omar Khayyam (1048–1131), known in the West as a poet, calculated the length of the year to within 5 decimal places, and found geometric solutions to all 13 forms of cubic equations, developing some quadratic equations still in use. Jamshīd al-Kāshī (c. 1380–1429) is credited with several theorems of trigonometry, including the law of cosines, also known as Al-Kashi's Theorem. He has been credited with the invention of decimal fractions, and with a method like Horner's to calculate roots. He calculated π correctly to 17 significant figures.

Sometime around the seventh century, Islamic scholars adopted the Hindu–Arabic numeral system, describing their use in a standard type of text *fī l-ḥisāb al hindī*, (On the numbers of the Indians). A distinctive Western Arabic variant of the Eastern Arabic numerals began to emerge around the 10th century in the Maghreb and Al-Andalus (sometimes called *ghubar* numerals, though the term is not always accepted), which are the direct ancestor of the modern Arabic numerals used throughout the world.

### طب

Islamic society paid careful attention to medicine, following a *[[hadith]]* enjoining the preservation of good health. Its physicians inherited knowledge and traditional medical beliefs from the civilisations of classical Greece, Rome, Syria, Persia and India. These included the writings of Hippocrates such as on the theory of the four humours, and the theories of Galen. al-Razi ( 865–925) identified smallpox and measles, and recognized fever as a part of the body's defenses. He wrote a 23-volume compendium of Chinese, Indian, Persian, Syriac and Greek medicine. al-Razi questioned the classical Greek medical theory of how the four humours regulate life processes. He challenged Galen's work on several fronts, including the treatment of bloodletting, arguing that it was effective.
al-Zahrawi (936–1013) was a surgeon whose most important surviving work is referred to as *[[al-Tasrif]]* (Medical Knowledge). It is a 30-volume set mainly discussing medical symptoms, treatments, and pharmacology. The last volume, on surgery, describes surgical instruments, supplies, and pioneering procedures. Avicenna (c. 980–1037) wrote the major medical textbook, *[[The Canon of Medicine]]*. Ibn al-Nafis (1213–1288) wrote an influential book on medicine; it largely replaced Avicenna's *Canon* in the Islamic world. He wrote commentaries on Galen and on Avicenna's works. One of these commentaries, discovered in 1924, described the circulation of blood through the lungs.

### بصريات ۽ اکين جي بيمارين جو علم

Optics developed rapidly in this period. By the ninth century, there were works on physiological, geometrical and physical optics. Topics covered included mirror reflection.
Hunayn ibn Ishaq (809–873) wrote the book *Ten Treatises on the Eye*; this remained influential in the West until the 17th century.
Abbas ibn Firnas (810–887) developed lenses for magnification and the improvement of vision.
Ibn Sahl ( 940–1000) discovered the law of refraction known as Snell's law. He used the law to produce the first Aspheric lenses that focused light without geometric aberrations.

In the eleventh century Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen, 965–1040) rejected the Greek ideas about vision, whether the Aristotelian tradition that held that the form of the perceived object entered the eye (but not its matter), or that of Euclid and Ptolemy which held that the eye emitted a ray. Al-Haytham proposed in his *Book of Optics* that vision occurs by way of light rays forming a cone with its vertex at the center of the eye. He suggested that light was reflected from different surfaces in different directions, thus causing objects to look different. He argued further that the mathematics of reflection and refraction needed to be consistent with the anatomy of the eye. He was also an early proponent of the scientific method, the concept that a hypothesis must be proved by experiments based on confirmable procedures or mathematical evidence, five centuries before Renaissance scientists.

### فارماڪولوجي

Advances in botany and chemistry in the Islamic world encouraged developments in pharmacology. Muhammad ibn Zakarīya Rāzi (Rhazes) (865–915) promoted the medical uses of chemical compounds. Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (Abulcasis) (936–1013) pioneered the preparation of medicines by sublimation and distillation. His *Liber servitoris* provides instructions for preparing "simples" from which were compounded the complex drugs then used. Sabur Ibn Sahl (died 869) was the first physician to describe a large variety of drugs and remedies for ailments. Al-Muwaffaq, in the 10th century, wrote *The foundations of the true properties of Remedies*, describing chemicals such as arsenious oxide and silicic acid. He distinguished between sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and drew attention to the poisonous nature of copper compounds, especially copper vitriol, and also of lead compounds. Al-Biruni (973–1050) wrote the *Kitab al-Saydalah* (*The Book of Drugs*), describing in detail the properties of drugs, the role of pharmacy and the duties of the pharmacist. Ibn Sina (Avicenna) described 700 preparations, their properties, their mode of action and their indications. He devoted a whole volume to simples in *[[The Canon of Medicine]]*. Works by Masawaih al-Mardini ( 925–1015) and by Ibn al-Wafid (1008–1074) were printed in Latin more than fifty times, appearing as *De Medicinis universalibus et particularibus* by Mesue the Younger (died 1015) and as the *Medicamentis simplicibus* by Abenguefit (c. 997 – 1074) respectively. Peter of Abano (1250–1316) translated and added a supplement to the work of al-Mardini under the title *De Veneris*. Ibn al-Baytar (1197–1248), in his *Al-Jami fi al-Tibb*, described a thousand simples and drugs based directly on Mediterranean plants collected along the entire coast between Syria and Spain, for the first time exceeding the coverage provided by Dioscorides in classical times. Islamic physicians such as Ibn Sina described clinical trials for determining the efficacy of medical drugs and substances.

### طبيعيات

The fields of physics studied in this period, apart from optics and astronomy which are described separately, are aspects of mechanics: statics, dynamics, kinematics and motion. In the sixth century John Philoponus () rejected the Aristotelian view of motion. He argued instead that an object acquires an inclination to move when it has a motive power impressed on it. In the eleventh century Ibn Sina adopted roughly the same idea, namely that a moving object has force which is dissipated by external agents like air resistance. Ibn Sina distinguished between "force" and "inclination" (*mayl*); he claimed that an object gained *mayl* when the object is in opposition to its natural motion. He concluded that continuation of motion depends on the inclination that is transferred to the object, and that the object remains in motion until the *mayl* is spent. He also claimed that a projectile in a vacuum would not stop unless it is acted upon. That view accords with Newton's first law of motion, on inertia. As a non-Aristotelian suggestion, it was essentially abandoned until it was described as "impetus" by Jean Buridan (c. 1295–1363), who was likely influenced by Ibn Sina's ''Book of Healing''.

In the *Shadows*, Abū Rayḥān al-Bīrūnī (973–1048) describes non-uniform motion as the result of acceleration. Ibn-Sina's theory of *mayl* tried to relate the velocity and weight of a moving object, a precursor of the concept of momentum. Aristotle's theory of motion stated that a constant force produces a uniform motion; Abu'l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī (c. 1080 – 1164/5) disagreed, arguing that velocity and acceleration are two different things, and that force is proportional to acceleration, not to velocity.

The Banu Musa brothers, Jafar-Muhammad, Ahmad and al-Hasan (c. early 9th century) invented automated devices described in their Book of Ingenious Devices. Advances on the subject were also made by al-Jazari and Ibn Ma'ruf.

### علم حيوانيات

Many classical works, including those of Aristotle, were transmitted from Greek to Syriac, then to Arabic, then to Latin in the Middle Ages. Aristotle's zoology remained dominant in its field for two thousand years. The *[[Kitāb al-Hayawān]]* (كتاب الحيوان, English: *Book of Animals*) is a 9th-century Arabic translation of *History of Animals*: 1–10, *On the Parts of Animals*: 11–14, and *Generation of Animals*: 15–19.

The book was mentioned by Al-Kindī (died 850), and commented on by Avicenna (Ibn Sīnā) in his *[[The Book of Healing]]*. Avempace (Ibn Bājja) and Averroes (Ibn Rushd) commented on and criticised *On the Parts of Animals* and *Generation of Animals*.
