بعض إسهامات العُمانيين في الحضارة الإسلامية

Omani people had important contributions in the field of Arab Islamic civilization. These contributions appeared in the intellectual and culture field (theology, linguistics, literature) besides being interested in history, astronomy and navigation. The Omanis showed interest in writing especially in the fields of religion and theology between the first and fifth Hijra centuries. Consequently, they established their own institutes. Moreover, Omanis were pioneers in encyclopedic literature. Due to Oman's important position overlooking wide areas of seas and oceans, Omanis were described by the Indians, Chinese and Europeans as masters of the sea; their commercial and war navy reached India, china, south–east Asia, Persia, Mesopotamia, and Egypt via the red sea and eastern Africa. This contact produced important cultural results in all walks of life of which we will speak in more details.
