Islamic Science Museum in Istanbul

Islamic science and technology will be revived in Istanbul. A museum is being built at historical "Gul-han-eh Park". The museum will host the reproductions of the works of Islamic scientists. There will be 800 pieces of technology in the museum of which restoration has been started long ago.

The historical buildings which are known to be stables belonging to famous Topkapi Palace will be turned into a museum at the completion of the restoration works.

The architect of the museum which will display the contributions of the Muslim scientists is world famous professor FUAT SEZGIN who lives in Germany. The 83 years old architect hopes to see the inauguration of the museum.

Professor Sezgin who knows 27 languages and can read many sources from their original manuscripts has proven Muslim scientists laid the foundations of the world science history. Sezgin, who established a science museum which displays the foundation of the world science in Germany, wants to build a similar museum in Istanbul. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan pledged his personal support for the completion of the museum.

The museum is expected to open in April. When the restoration has been completed the inventions of Muslim scientists will emerge as the contributions to the humanity.

When ancient Greek, Roman etc sciences were lost to the West, Islamic scientists studied, rediscovered and reunderstood it and gave it back to the West in a more advanced form. The Muslims improved the concept of Maths and discovered 0. Jewish and Christian scientists were often the disciples of Muslim scientists who would then teach other Jewish and Christian students of science.

Science truelly unites people.

Science is beautiful. God commands in the Qur'an to both women and men to acquire knowledge. He encourages the believer and non-believer to ask questions about science in all it's forms. Devout Ottoman women were the first female astronomers. Non-Muslims too have benefited greatly from Islamic science, so one needs not to be a Muslim to find inspiritation in the Quran.

@erhan7332 yo a, even Fibonacci learned to a Muslim scholar

[forgottenmemories63]

@erhan7332 The Number "Zero" & Concept of "Infinity" was first proposed by Ancient Greeks 1000 years before Islam & Also practically used as a Number by Ancient Indian Mathematicians. Through Trade & Travel, Arabians came to know about the Hindu Numerals as they were originally called. Muslims never actually Invented Algebra but Muslim Scholars can be credited to coming up with new Methods of Solving Algebraic Problems with the help of old Works as their reference & also helped preserve them.

@melodyeastern I agree, and respect any development of science with no distinction of religion nor race. It is a pity that many people are ignorant towards other peoples ideology's, when they have been put in a bad daylight by so few. and from there kick against what they don't understand, It's only human I assume..
