Muslim Contributions to Science English Zakaria Virk

Muslim Contributions to Science by Zakaria Virk is a comprehensive historical work that highlights the pivotal role of Islamic civilization during the Golden Age (8th-12th centuries CE) in advancing various scientific fields. The book documents significant breakthroughs by Muslim scholars in Mathematics (especially Algebra by Al-Khwarizmi), Medicine (establishment of hospitals, surgery, antiseptics), Astronomy (celestial observations, naming of stars), and Optics (Ibn al-Haytham). Virk emphasizes how these scholars perfected the Scientific Method through empirical observation and experimentation. The work serves to restore and credit the original intellectual advancements made in the Muslim world that later became the foundation for the scientific renaissance in Europe.
