Abstract :

From the 8th century, the center of scientific activities had been the Islamic world in the historical process of scientific activities between the period of Ancient Greece and the Renaissance period. This is the common view of both eastern and western science historians. The success of scientific activities in the regions dominated by the Islam is no coincidence. It is for sure that the civilization created by Islam was much influential on this success. In addition, one cannot deny the efforts of many Muslim and non-Muslim people living in that period, from politicians to scientists. The scientific activities emerging as an inseparable part of the Islamic civilization have an important share in the universal culture as they constituted a step for the development of science and philosophy in the West. Hence, the rise of science in the Islamic world is an inseparable part of the scientific progress.
