Every day we hear a lot about Muslims. Not surprisingly, they make up 23% of the world’s population.

The facts that the media spread are both positive and negative. But the lack of objective information has formed a false stereotype among the majority of the population. Muslim.

The habit of deliberately or unwittingly portraying Muslims in a negative light goes back centuries. Makes things worse. terrorism under the aegis of the Islamic religion and the flow of refugees that flooded not only Europe, but also other parts of the world. Islamophobia has become a part of modern society, where it is easy to hate everyone indiscriminately.

If you think about a world without Muslims, you know what it would be like?

Mankind's great inventions must be Muslim culture A whole series of ingenious inventions. We would have to sacrifice more than just morning coffee, toothbrush and cosmetics. What if we erase pain relief and the invention of surgical instruments?

We've gathered the most. great discoveries and inventions Muslims are on a huge list and we invite you to read it.

  1. Coffee (Ethiopia, 850).
  2. Digital camera (observations of the sun, conducted by the Arab scientist Ibn al-Haytham).
  3. Chess (chaturanga in India).




Soap (Jabir ibn Hayyan first made hard soap). Shampoo (medieval Muslims were the first to mix vegetable oils with sodium hydroxide and aromatics). Perfume water (the first perfume was used in ancient Egypt). Alcohol and spirits ("father of chemistry" Jabir ibn Hayyan invented the distillation apparatus).



Toothbrush (miswak from the branches and roots of the arak tree). Glasses and crystal glasses (Abbas ibn Firnas was the first in the world to create colorless glass). Three-course lunch (a habit brought to Europe by the Arabic cook Ali ibn Nafi). The pen (Egypt, 953). Carpets (woven frescoes in Beni Hasan, X century BC).



The first hospital in the world was founded in Damascus in 706. Plastic surgery (Egypt and India, 800 BC) Architectural innovations (European Gothic cathedrals use the technique of pointed arches, pink windows, dome buildings, round towers). The system of numbering, algebra and trigonometry (the book “On the Indian Account” by al-Khwarizmi and others).



Modern cryptology (chronological framework of al-Kindi). Calligraphy (originated as the art of Quran census) Pendulum (invented by Ibn Yunus in the X century). Experimental physics (as a result of the first translations of Greek books and mathematical research). Atom ("When an atom is split, a force is formed that can destroy Baghdad" - chemist Jabir ibn Hayyan, X century). Table of Chemical Elements (Mineralogy, 1038 by al-Biruni and Classification of Chemicals by Zakaria al-Razi).



Newton’s binom (Muslim mathematicians used binoms to solve problems in the tenth century). The first paper factory was built in Baghdad in 794. Aeronautics (Abbas ibn Firnas invented, manufactured and tested aerial vehicles in 800 AD).



Gunpowder (the first mention of firearms made in Arabic in the XIII century). Muslim armies used gunpowder against the Franks in the fourteenth century. Compass and navigation (Muslim navigators were the first to use magnetic needles in navigation). Knee shaft, code lock, jukeboxes (al-Jazari valve pump in the XII century). Surgical instruments and pain relief (the surgeon Ibn Sina, known as Avicenna, was the first to use opium and alcohol as anesthesia).

The world of science and technology the great inventions of mankind They belong to immigrants from Muslim countries. Few people know, but the architect of the most beautiful castles of King Henry V was also a Muslim.





The Europeans made good use of Arabic translations of Greek documents and succeeded in many ways. We are used to thanking them for their scientific achievements, not those who opened the way to science. If you dig even deeper, Muslims believed that the Earth was round, five centuries earlier than Galileo, who was burned by the Inquisition for such a discovery. Algebra and geometry appeared in Europe 300 years later than in the East.

I advise people who associate Muslims only with terrorism to raise their level of knowledge and not to stoop to baseless accusations. We can't judge all one and a half billion people for war and destruction, because we don't blame all white people for the lawlessness of the Ku Klux Klan.
