Facts About Islam

Many ancient-Greek writings, including the work of Aristotle,

were introduced to Europe during the late Middle Ages by Islamic scholars.

The Arab astronomer Al-Khwarizmi wrote several scientific books in the

ninth century. Latin scholars later translated his work in the

13th century—introducing Europeans to the word "Algebra" and

the place-value decimal system still in use today.

The modern use of the Scientific Method was developed in early

Muslim philosophy. Arab mathematician Ibn Al-Haitham advanced

the science of optics in the 10th century, by solving particular problems

related to the refraction of light. These familiar English words have their

medieval origins in the language and scientific contributions of Islamic

scholars: alkali, alchemy, alcohol, algorithm, almanac, zenith and zero.

The upper-class of Europe practiced the art of Courtly Love during the

later Middle Ages, which was influenced by Arabic poetry.
