Muslims Scientists’ Works and The Western Approach: A Short Review

Abstract

This paper leads to a well-versed discussion regarding the role that Muslim scholars played in the development of scientific thinking and it also exhibits well the fake credits taken by the westerns un-ethically and illegally. To take this up, the analytical researching is being done because the ancient times, Middle Ages and some of the modern era have been analyzed here. A plenty of works had been done regarding the services of Muslim scientists but now it’s necessary to hook up the un-ethical approach of the west towards Muslim scientific icons. This study also argues that the Muslims were not just the preservers of the ancient and Greek knowledge, but they also contributed original research works to the different fields of science. They were inspired by the Islamic view of nature that is, mankind had a duty to ‘study nature in order to discover God and to use nature for the benefit of mankind’. On the other hand, this paper also probes into the western attitude of taking credit of Muslim scientific works as one of converting their names like Farabi into "Forbes", Ibn Rushd into "Averroes", Al-Razi into “Rhazes” and many others. This was only to mislead their people about Muslims and to prove the western supremacy in this field.
