Extractions: The first mechanically played musical instrument on record was a water organ made by the Musa brothers (banu Musa) in the ninth century AD. The music was recorded on a cylinder much like those used in more recent times for cylinder music boxes and barrel organs.

(Quran, Surah [2: 239]) Islam is a religion based upon knowledge for it is ultimately knowledge of the Oneness of God combined with faith and total commitment to Him that saves man. The text of the Quran is replete with verses inviting man to use his intellect, to ponder, to think and to know, for the goal of human life is to discover the Truth which is none other than worshipping God in His Oneness. The Hadith literature is also full of references to the importance of knowledge. Such sayings of the Prophet as "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave" , (Hadith). and

Extractions: Webs UD ... HLTwiki :History of Arabic translation The acquisition and adaptation of Greek knowledge by scientists working in the Arab empire became crucial to the rediscovery of Aristotle by Western Europe in the 12th century, and ultimately to the European Renaissance. After the 'Umayyad dynasty collapsed in the 740s and the caliphate was assumed by Abu 'l-'Abbas (founder of the 'Abbasid dynasty, in 749). The 'Abbasids received much support from Persian Muslims who had resented the dominance of the Arabs under the 'Umayyads. However, they were themselves an Arabic family, the language of government continued to be Arabic, the language of religion had to be Arabic. The most influential Persian supporters of the 'Abbasid takeover were the Barmakid family, led by Khalid ibn Barmak, who became governor of Mesopotamia under the second 'Abbasid caliph, al-Mansur. They were the sponsors of the enigmatic Jabir ibn Hayyan, who synthesized the new science of alchemy from a mixture of Pythagorean ideals and Indian and Persian mysticism. When the Barmakids fell from power in 804, Jabir fell from court favour as well. Al-Mansur founded a new capital for the caliphate at Baghdad in 762, calling on the services of two astrologers, Nawbakht, a Persian, and Masha'allah, a Persian Jew - an illustration of the indirect influence of Greek science on the Arabs through Persian rather than Syriac intermediaries. He had been brought up in Khorasan, one of the most Hellenized parts of Persia, and decided that his new city would be a centre of scholarship for all Islam. When he fell ill in 765, he summoned Jirjis ibn Bukhtyishu', the head of the Jundi-Shapur academy, to cure him. Subsequently the Bukhtyishu' and Masawaih families, all Nestorian Christians, became suppliers of official physicians to the caliphs and their viziers.

As capital of the caliphate, Baghdad was also to become the cultural capital of the Islamic world. Our purpose is to show, as briefly as possible, the role that this region played in the transmission of the knowledge of antiquity, in the evolution of religious attitudes, and in the flowering of Arabic literature. We shall not try to find out, any more than did the caliphs of the period, whether the actors were Iranians, Arabs, Moslems, Christians, or Jews. Men of letters and of science had gathered in this city either through cultural affinity or because they had been summoned to the caliph's court for their worth or

He always expressed the truth at the risk of incurring displeasure of others. His statements were always prompted by regard for truth, free from disguise or bias and without regard for friendship or otherwise. His heart was pure and unsophisticated. One day while the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (S.A.W.) was sitting with some of his companions, Abu Zar came and paid homage to the Prophet (S.A.W.) in such a manner that expressed his boundless love and respect for the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.). The Prophet (S.A.W.) was very pleased with his manners and said: This was the atmosphere in which the child Jandab or Bareer (Abu Zar) opened his eyes in the world, In his early age he also took part in some of the adventures of his tribesmen But, one day all of a sudden his mind was (hanged and he began to hate robbery and plundering. He also had strong feelings against the so-called gods, goddesses and man-made idols. The Lord guided him towards the path of His Oneness and he began to pray the Lord according to his own way. About his this state of mind, later on, he narrated himself:

A brother made a claim like this and this article which I hope he reads insha-allah will open up his eyes and many others who live within this fallacy. Bismillah-ar-rahman-ar-raheem: Whilst the Israeli army rampaged through Jenin and Tulkarm, causing widespread devastation to peoples lives and property. Muslims throughout the world raged with anger at Israel, and pledged their help and support for the Palestinians. But at the same time, there is also a feeling of helplessness in the Ummah, that she is unable to stop the worlds 4th most powerful army - The Israeli Army? Muslims were resolved to believe even if Egypt or Jordan or Syria did send their armies to help, they would have no effect on the might of the Israeli armed forces with their advanced weapons, battle ships and fighter jets.

Extractions: A Case for Muslim Political Participation by Dr. M. Amir Ali, Ph.D. Introduction The Argument The Hizb At-Tahrir (heretofore referred to as the Hizb and their followers as Hizbis) argues that there is no evidence in favor of elections and voting. The Hizb quotes a few verses of the Quran and Hadith to show that "Shariah" is against voting and political participation in a secular system. This author has already dealt with the arguments of the Hizb in his article, " AMERICAN ELECTIONS AND HIZB AT-TAHRIR ". For more details see the original article mentioned above. Briefly, the reply is the following. 1. Election and polling Election and polling is proven from the way in which the first Khalifa, Abu Bakr(R), and the third Khalifa, Uthman ibn Affan(R), were chosen or elected by the Muslims of Madinah. There was a consensus (Ijma) of Sahaba(R) which is found in authentic Hadith literature and therefore, could be considered a part of Islamic Shariah. 2. Absence of the prohibition

Extractions: Astronomy and Mathematics Part I Part II Part III I The Arabs are before all else the pupils of the Greeks; their science is a continuation of Greek science which it preserves, cultivates, and on a number of important points develops and perfects. One of the greatest of them, al-Biruni, said in considering all the conditions necessary for scientific research-early education, knowledge of languages, long life, the possession of means sufficient to enable one to make journeys and acquire books and instruments: all these conditions are rarely found in a single individual, especially in our day. That is why we ought to confine ourselves to what the ancients have dealt with and endeavour to perfect what can be perfected. The middle way is in all things the most praiseworthy; and he who attempts too much ruins himself and his estate. Al-Biruni is here, however, obviously too modest; for with this limited ambition the Arabs have really achieved great things in science; they taught the use of ciphers, although they did not invent them, and thus became the founders of the arithmetic of everyday life; they made algebra an exact science and developed it considerably and laid the foundations of analytical geometry; they were indisputably the founders of plane and spherical trigonometry which, properly speaking, did not exist among the Greeks. In astronomy they made a number of valuable observations. They preserved for us in their translations a number of Greek works, the originals of which have been lost: three books of the Conics of Apollonius, the
