I'm iraqi and proud of my country's history
It was actually an Islamic history not only in Iraq or Iran !!
Lol dude i posted that like half a year ago, I realise by now :)
i am a musim..and proud of ISLAM
abcde fghij I'm not Arab nor Persian, but you do realize the enormous impact the Persians had on the "Islamic" golden age?
This is the thing about us Muslim's. We start taking pride in useless things like "I'm an Arab" or "I'm a Persian" or "I'm a Turk." We became like the Jew's of today who take more pride in they're supposed ancestry rather then becoming humbled by the fact that they believe Allah(swt) has blessed them with revelation. Think deeply about what I'm saying. You're ancestral lineage means nothing to the Almighty.
Taha Hasan me too
Destroying this library was one of the most cruel crimes against humanity.
Yeah😥

WORTH WATCHING
Religion without science is blind and science without religion is blind .
Not having a relationship with Jesus Christ is blind
Amazing work, credits should go there where it was due.
It is not the muslims only there are Jews and Christian scholars of arab origin who worked on science which they mostly brought from India.
Lol
Indian history is 4500bc years but middle east is 7000bc🤫
Big love to anyone brought here by Low-key
the greatest translator of the islamic golden age was a Christian Arab named Abu Zayd Hunayn Ibn Ishaq Al-Ebadi. The Arabs named him "Sheikh of the translators" sheikh means chief.
good
Who knows ,how much knowledge layed in the Libraries of Bagdad when attacked by Chengaz Khan who destroyed almost 250 or more valuable libraries full of books,besides loot n plunder and genocide?, very unfortunate saga in human history. Once, BAGDAD was cradle of civilisation of Great Harun Rashid. Of course, Quran was also an inspiration. Bagwat Geeta was written from oral history in the library of Bagdad in 13 century as Hindus didn't have written history, later on it was translated from Arabic to Sanaskrit which proved handy for India as time passed, yet no credit comes this way.
To the Muslims. If the Quran contains scientific fact then 1. Name one Muslim who came up with the science BEFORE it was verified and accepted as FACT by the international community. 2. Did that Muslim base their discovery on the basis of Quranic evidence, or independent of the Quran? Provide your evidence. 3. There were many who claimed scientific discoveries such as the Ancient Greeks, that were proved correct centuries later, and many years before Islam, an individual (s) claim to scientific facts, does not prove their Hellenism, culture or religion had a bearing on their discovery. Hope Muslims can see how important this point is.
1. As the world at that time had not been globalized, there were no 'International Communities' for the authorization of something as a fact, facts do not need to be recognized by people in order to validate their actuality, meaning that if Water is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen it does not need to be recognized by certain parties to validate this reality, as is a reality in itself.
2.45:00
3.this point is not important and unbelievably stupid while you make it appear to be of some (if any) significance
@@abdulrehmansudais9159 youre trying to sound clever but the opposite is true, complete straw man argument, i made no mention of international communities, my point.... well no point repeating if you cant read or comprehend, many theories existed that were wrong that later was found in Islam/Quran, such as geocentrism, formation of embryo from blood clot, mountains as pegs, seven heavens etc that are seen as unscientific....Yes of course, youre name is Sudais, i wont take information from someone who lies about their own name.
In the 21st Century, Baghdad has come up again and added new inspiration into the mix - The Arrow of Energy;
"In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most.
No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores.
No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it.
This universal truth applies to all systems.
Energy, like time, flows from past to future" (2017).
the commentary section of this video is hilarious:
-indian person: "why is it called arab science when it was based on indian research?"
-punjabi person: "why is it calle arab science? i'm muslim too but from sindh"
-jewish person: "many of the contributors were jewish not just muslims!"
-persian person: "many of these contributions were persian not just arab mulims!"
just find it hilarious how we always behave as humans :) we always think of the world as "us" vs "other". we should celebrate the achievements of the past, even if they are from another culture.
Right time for people to stop worrying about the past and being petty start worrying about the present and future and how they could stop being jerks now human race divided against itself will never stand I sound so liberal and like a flake really everybody working together is the only way the universe is going to survive, come out with their best inventions to save lives and make things better and keep a good quality of living for all the people coming in the future. Only way to survive. Society starting to stabilize right now things are going on America and Afghanistan all the stuff people are being left behind people in La countries right now it's changing I'm not so sure the human race is going to be around future if things keep going crooked
@Ahem Ahem well there are also Islamists who claim every Scientific discovery is made by the Muslims...
Self-righteous people are on both the sides
Civilisation is never isolated ; it is always an extension and evolution of human intellectual history.
The great achievements of Islamic civilization in Andalusia ( Spain today) is that it invited all scholars, regardless of their faith, race, gender, from all over the world to gather all knowledge wherever it is found, and to bring it to the house of wisdom to translate it and study , filter it, dissect it under the open eyes of the scholars of the house of wisdom according to their field of knowledge. The ruler sponsored and supported their inquiry and research, in all aspects, which led to evolve and add to the science discoveries and philosophy of all time to flourish and advance and be the basics of the Renaissance Age in the Christian Europe.
@Ahem Ahem but the knowledge was brought to Andalusia by the Muslims
"Thus the founders of grammar were Sibawaih and after him, al-Farisi and Az-Zajjaj. All of them were of Persian descent…they invented rules of (Arabic) grammar…great jurists were Persians… only the Persians engaged in the task of preserving knowledge and writing systematic scholarly works. Thus the truth of the statement of the prophet becomes apparent, 'If learning were suspended in the highest parts of heaven the Persians would attain it"…The intellectual sciences were also the preserve of the Persians, left alone by the Arabs, who did not cultivate them…as was the case with all crafts…This situation continued in the cities as long as the Persians and Persian countries, Iraq, Khorasan and Transoxiana (modern Central Asia), retained their sedentary culture. Muqaddimah, Translated by Franz Rosenthal (III, pp. 311-15, 271-4 [Arabic]; R.N. Frye (p.91).
Ah yes, Ibn khaldun, an arab. Are you going to say he was wrong as well?
Avicenna sounds like he may have been bipolar, like so many genius minds in many cultures have been.
👏👍
The host gets the speaker's name wrong, that's not great is it? Where Newton had gone Tesla went further!
Spanish Jews come to mind, Arab by culture, as scientists..
Yes without the Jews of Spain the science and philosophy of the Islamic world would not have passed into Christendom. Thomas Aquinas for example would not have encountered Aristotle's discussion on faith and reason.
Before Darwin muslims work on fossilized bones, which we later called as theory of evolution.
👏 👏🙂
Ibn Sina..
4648
Many of the scientists were Persian though... I believe "Islamic Era of the Middle Ages" is a better term than Arab science!
it's like greek science in Hellenistic kingdom based in ancient Egypt science been done in greek i think arabo-islamic sciences is better term cuz they were many jews/christian and they spoke arabic
True many are Persians and Arabs and turkic and some are of Greek ancestry and you can't deny that there aren't Arab scientists and philosophers and poets, but the language is Arabic in house of wisdom and house of wisdom was established by Arabs. Arabs generally established universities across North Africa and middle east, which some of them are considered the oldest universities on earth.
It's also called Islamic golden age for reason, because Muslims from all western asian ethnicities cared to translate and study science and philosophy.
that is the biggest lie in islamic history
Persian ruled the region more than 1200 years
i challenge you to mention a pre islamic Persian poet,books,scientists or philosopher
you will not find
actually many of them were Jewish, not Muslim... but never mind..
@@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands name them
Christiaan Huygens is clearly the greatest..
go learn how to spell mister...
Many of these scientists were Jewish even, not Persian, or Arab... but never mind..
how do you know ?
@@disdat1497 he know it as they were playing with him in the kindergarten
no
No, the present Jews and Christians play little part in the intellectual endeavour of the Muslim world they relied on Muslims also.
read the title carefully it says Arab houses or universities were built by Abbasids
I wonder how much more advances humanity would have achieved if women’s brains had been allowed or were they?
In the islamic era woman we’re allow and the first university ever was invented and open by a woman from Morocco and her name is Fatima check it out, she was a Muslim
Talks mostly on European first 30min
I hate when they call it arab science lol I'm from Punjab and sindh as Muslims from these regions spreaded science
Did you even watch the lecture? He clearly explained what he meant by Arab science
@@melchoraslez1689 translating my work doesn't make it yours
It was under the Arabic rule. Thales was Arabic and studied in Babylone yet he is considered as Greek
many scholars and scientists were arabs , the universities and libraries were founded by arabs, the caliphate was arab, and of course the language was Arabic.

It is important to say Muslims and not Arabs.
During that time the Byzantine Empire was still there...defending us.
What is us?
anyways, stream dynamite
