Here is a general account of the contribution that Muslims have made to the development of various sciences and arts. First of all, it must be said that Islam is not just a religion. The discussion of Islam is not limited to man's relationship with the Creator. Rather, Islam is a fulfilling way of life. That is why it is necessary to shed light on the Islamic perspective in the practice of science and art.
Islam does not discourage worldly life, but emphasizes the importance of a healthy and beautiful life. The Qur’an praises those who say, ‘O our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of Hell '(2: 201).
The Qur'an teaches that seek the abode of the Hereafter with what Allah has given you. Don't forget your part of the world. Do good as Allah has been gracious to you and do not seek to cause mischief in the world. Allah does not love the one who causes mischief (26: 7). In fact, in the hope of gaining such a beautiful life, people want to know about the world. He tries his best to gain accurate knowledge about all the things that exist in the world. His relentless efforts have two main objectives. The first is to benefit from different things in the universe. Secondly, to be grateful to Allah, the Great Creator. It has been said in the Qur'an that I have established you in the world and provided for you in it (8:10). Irshad has also said: Do you not see that Allah has devoted everything in the heavens and the earth for your benefit? And He has completed His bounty to you, manifest and invisible (31:20). On the one hand, the Qur'an urges them to worship and let them worship the guardian of the house (ie the Ka'bah), who feeds them from hunger and protects them from fear (108: 63-4). This is the man who gets what he does (53:39).
The Qur'an not only emphasizes discovery, but also constantly invents new things. Say: Say: Travel in the land and see what was the end of those before you. Most of them were polytheists (30 ঃ 42). It is also mentioned that those who remember Allah standing, sitting and lying down and think about the creation of the heavens and the earth and say: O our Lord, You have not created these in vain ... (3: 191).
The Qur'an also has clear guidelines for the methods of acquiring knowledge. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was born in an uneducated society. But in the first revelation that was revealed to him, he was instructed to read and write. There he praised the pen and said that the pen is a reliable protector of human knowledge. It has been said, "Recite in the name of your Lord Who created, created man to be alike, and glorified is your Lord, Who taught by the pen, taught man what he did not know" (98: 5). The Qur'an reminds us that if you do not know, then ask the wise (17:43). There is also mention that you have been given little knowledge (18:65); I promote whomever I want. On every wise person there is omniscient (12: 7). Incidentally a munajat may be mentioned here. By teaching mankind about this prayer, the Qur'an declares: Say, O my Lord, increase my knowledge (20: 114).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are five foundations of Islam full faith in one God, establishing prayer, fasting in Ramadaan, performing Hajj, and paying zakat.” , Then fasting, prayer, Hajj, Zakat are connected with worldly knowledge and science. For example, in order to establish Salat, a Muslim has to face the Qibla and perform Salat in the light of certain natural phenomena. This requires knowledge of geography and astronomy. In order to fast properly, one must have knowledge of natural phenomena. For example, it is difficult to observe fasting without knowledge of sunrise or sunset. Similarly, it is important for Hajj pilgrims to have knowledge of roads and vehicles to reach Makkah. Again, in order to collect zakat or to distribute wealth among the heirs, one has to have knowledge about financial resources.
The Qur'an has shed light on many scientific sources and historical events. Knowledge of all these subjects is essential for knowing and understanding the Qur'an. In fact, in order to study the Qur'an, one must first know the language in which the Qur'an was revealed. This is where the need to practice linguistics comes into play. This is how Islam inspires us to study history, geography and other sciences. Incidentally, the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to Medina and built a mosque at the beginning of the independent settlement. He set aside a part of the mosque for the school. During the day this place is used as a lecture hall. Again at night it was used as a student accommodation. The place was called Suffa.
It has been said in the Qur'an: "O you who believe, if you help Allah, He will help you" (46: 6, 22:40). Muslims followed this admonition of the Qur'an word for word. As a result, their destiny was also revealed. So it is not surprising that Muslims provided cheap and sufficient paper for the practice and dissemination of knowledge. In fact, paper mills have been established in various parts of the vast Muslim empire since the second century AH. Lots of paper is produced. Here is a brief description of the invaluable contribution that Muslims have made to the development of science, especially the welfare of humanity:
Knowledge of religion originated through the Qur'an. The Quran is the word of God. This word has reached people through revelation. To know and understand the Qur'an, one has to know its language, grammar and historical context of the Qur'an. Over time, the need for these subjects increases in society and each of these subjects is established as a separate science. For example, the recitation of the Qur'an also develops the style of pronunciation. Later it took the form of a separate science.
