The Legacy of Islamic Inventions
Global Science Advancement carries forward the pioneering legacy of Prof. Dr. Fuat Sezgin, dedicated to illuminating the remarkable achievements of Islamic civilization in science and technology. Our mission transcends traditional museum practices—we aim to create dynamic, educational experiences that reveal how Islamic scholars advanced human knowledge across mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and engineering. Through carefully curated collections and innovative exhibitions, we bridge centuries of scientific achievement with contemporary audiences, ensuring these extraordinary contributions to global civilization remain visible, accessible, and celebrated worldwide.


Professor Fuat Sezgin: Reviving the Islamic Legacy
“Professor Fuat Sezgin (1924-2018), a Turkish Muslim historian and scholar, dedicated his extraordinary life to accurately revealing and preserving the vast scientific and technological legacy of Islamic civilization. His pioneering work aimed to correct historical errors and demonstrate the pivotal role of the Islamic Golden Age in laying the foundations for modern science and global technology.
One of his most notable achievements is the establishment of the Museum of the History of Science and Technology in Islam in Frankfurt, Germany. In this museum, Sezgin and his team reconstructed and displayed detailed models of thousands of inventions and tools dating back centuries, which had often been forgotten. Examples include intricate spherical astrolabes, precise surgical instruments used in early operations, sophisticated mechanical clocks, and innovative chemical distillation devices.
Through his tireless research and museum efforts, Sezgin not only revived this rich legacy but also inspired new generations of researchers and scientists worldwide to appreciate the essential Islamic contributions in fields such as astronomy, medicine, mechanics, and chemistry. His work has proven that Islamic civilization was a vital bridge between ancient knowledge and modern scientific developments.”

Practical Pathways to Revival
Teach Islamic Inventions in Schools: Introduce students to their rich scientific heritage by including Islamic inventions in school lessons. This can be done by:
• Creating lessons that show Islamic contributions to science and technology.
• Setting up mobile museums with interactive exhibits of historical inventions.
• Holding workshops and events focused on applying old scientific ideas.
Use Modern Technology: Explain how inventions work and their benefits using new and engaging tech. This includes:
• Making interactive 3D models of old inventions with VR and AR.
• Producing high-quality documentaries and educational animations about inventors and their work.
• Building online learning platforms with many easy-to-access resources.
Connect with the Digital World: Integrate these inventions into the digital world through popular interactive games, making learning fun and effective. Also:
• Design educational games that simulate the scientific and engineering challenges faced by Muslim inventors.
• Create online communities for learners to share ideas and projects.
Support Research and Development: Provide enough resources for scientific research and encourage new ideas in science and technology. Focus on solving current problems using insights from the past.

Enhance Partnerships: Build strong connections between schools, research centers, and different industries to share knowledge and experiences
These actions are key to inspiring a new generation of innovators, building on the rich legacy of their ancestors. By mixing historical knowledge with modern learning and technology, we can revive a culture of innovation. This will also empower young minds to tackle future challenges creatively, with a deep understanding of their heritage. This overall approach ensures that the spark of invention, which began in the Islamic Golden Age, keeps shining brightly for many generations to come.

Notable Muslim Scientists and Their Contributions

Ibn Sina (Avicenna)
Ibn Sina was one of the most influential physicians and philosophers of the Islamic Golden Age. His most famous work, The Canon of Medicine, was used as a primary medical reference in Europe and the Islamic world for more than 600 years. He contributed to anatomy, pharmacology, psychology, and medical ethics, and is considered a pioneer of clinical and experimental medicine.

Al-Jazari
Al-Jazari was an engineer, inventor, and mechanical designer. His book, The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices, contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of mechanical devices, including clocks, pumps, and automated machines. Known as the father of robotics, he created early programmable mechanisms and advanced hydraulic engineering.

Al-Biruni
​Al-Biruni was a polymath who excelled in astronomy, mathematics, and geography. He made significant contributions to trigonometry and calculated the Earth's radius with astonishing accuracy centuries before modern tools. His writings also explored the rotation of the Earth, comparative religion, time-measurement systems, and scientific methodology.

Al-Razi (Rhazes)
Al-Razi was a pioneering physician, chemist, and philosopher. He was the first to clinically differentiate between smallpox and measles and emphasized evidence-based medicine. His medical writings influenced hospitals and healthcare education in both the Islamic world and Europe. He was also an early advocate of hygiene and antiseptics in medical practice.

Jabir Ibn Hayyan
Often referred to as the “Father of Chemistry,” Jabir Ibn Hayyan made groundbreaking contributions to the study of chemical processes. He developed laboratory techniques such as crystallization, distillation, and evaporation, and discovered several important acids including nitric acid and hydrochloric acid. His scientific methods helped establish the foundations of modern chemistry.
