Biography of Muslim Scholars and Scientists

It is with a feeling of gratitude to Almighty Allah that we welcome the publication of this modest work of compilation on the biography of Muslim scholars and scientists. This book is an attempt to instill the feeling of 'izzah' (greatness)of the achievement of our past scholars and scientist, neither to be left alone as mere past history nor to be boasted off, but more importantly, to act as a catalyst to motivate us and the future generation to lead the revival of scholastic attitude and scientific advancement in this modern age.
Islam had patronized and fostered the Greek scientific heritage in the field of medicine, astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and philosophy. Islam continued to add new scientific achievements which bear witness that Muslims were deeply and seriously interested in scientific research. It was on the cream of the Islamic scientific achievement of Andalusia that the European
Renaissance and its modern scientific inventions were based and we purposely use the term 'Biografie' (Spanish word) instead of 'Biography' to signify this important contribution.
It is a great blessing for us to be able to share with others any benefits one can achieve by reading this book. Despite the computer era, we felt that this book may serve the professional and the general public in a more practical and accessible way.
Finally, we sincerely welcome any constructive advice and comments to improve this book, making it a valuable gift to our Muslim brothers and sisters.
