THE GOLDEN AGE OF ISLAM- What It Was And Why It Matters!

The Golden Age of Islam, which spanned from the 8th to the 13th centuries, laid the foundations for the European Renaissance. Yet most Muslims are not aware of what this means, the magnitude of this achievement, or how it affects their daily lives.

Muslim names being categorically Latinized to disconnect us from our legacy played a significant role. We Muslims are cornered and are easily called "Terrorists”, and we have no academic response to them, showing what we have contributed to this world. I would argue that the world would be 600 years behind if it were not for the Muslim Caliphate's sponsored Golden Age of Islam.

From Calculating the circumference of the Earth with up to 99% accuracy to deriving the exact number of days in a year within 2 minutes of the actual value, we set gold standards in every field.

From making the first “eyeglasses” to making the groundbreaking discovery of “The Law of Refraction of the light”, we are categorically discredited. Even though these laws are taught to every child in school without a shred of credit to Muslims who first discovered them!

Now is the time we knew about it. With that in mind, I have written this book, stating hardcore facts backed by reasoning and derived explanations of the magnitude of these achievements.

This book has 19 chapters, each uncovering massive achievements in various fields. It addresses several accomplishments in astronomy, pharmacology, physics, mathematics, geography, art, trigonometry, and more.

We influenced giants like Nicolai Copernicus, Sir Isaac Newton and many more, and the book highlights this with appropriate examples.

After reading the book, you will realise our ancestral achievements and hold your head higher!

The author tries his best to marshal a wide range of references to make his book appear authentic and well researched -- but sadly, he has completely failed due to sheer ethnocentrism: The book is for those who are blind followers. Not for someone who respects Islam.

Though the author has done a wonderful & fantastic job!!
The printing part is not upto the mark. They should do justice to his commendable work.

The Golden Age of Islam is a short and engaging overview of Muslim contributions to science, medicine, mathematics, art, and architecture. Through clear, focused chapters, Salim Khan highlights key scholars and ideas that shaped global knowledge.

The book is easy to read and informative, making it a good starting point for understanding how learning and faith worked together during this era. A concise and meaningful introduction to Islamic intellectual history.

Hey Mr writer you should have included the beautiful pics of those renowned muslim scientists & scholars in the book but unfortunately i did not find the pic of any of these individuals. I request you to include their photographs. Rest all is fine.

Thank you for the review, there are no photographs of scientists in the book, because no photographs exist of these scientists, in fact, there are no man made portraits either, because portrait painting was not done for any of our scientists...! The book talks about 1000 year old figures and camera for public use was first invented in 1816.

Reading The Golden Age of Islam was a deeply enriching experience. Salim Khan masterfully captures the intellectual, scientific, and cultural brilliance of Islamic civilization that shaped the world in ways we often overlook today. From the House of Wisdom in Baghdad to the polymaths of Andalusia, the book paints a vivid portrait of an era where curiosity, scholarship, and faith coexisted in harmony.

I literally cried how we lost our legacy our scientists

As the author said, “it’s the need of the hour”. I can’t explain what went through me when i was reading this book. Being from the engineering background (an industrial engineer) I always fathomed the historical significance of modern engineering. BUT ut was the first time I got to know it all in detail, especially that final few pages where I got to know the modern name of the books originally written by Muslim Geniuses and Polymaths. As I approached the final word (which also happens to be the first command of Allah) the tears flowed down my eyes. We muslims have wronged ourselves, as the book says, “yes we have dug our own graves”. This is definitely the need if the hour and is exactly what connecting ourselves with Qur’An means.

Dear Team,
I recently purchased and read The Golden Age of Islam: What It Was and Why It Matters, and I would like to share my feedback.
First of all, I really enjoyed the book. It is informative, engaging, and an excellent introduction to the achievements of Muslim scholars, scientists, and thinkers. I truly appreciate the effort you have made to present this important part of Islamic history and to help readers understand the intellectual and scientific contributions of the Muslim world.
However, I noticed one important omission that I believe deserves attention: Ziryab (Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Nafi).
Ziryab was not only a musician; he was also a major cultural figure in Islamic Spain. He had a remarkable influence on music, food, etiquette, clothing, hairstyles, personal grooming, and social culture in Al-Andalus. Many aspects of his cultural influence later became part of the wider European cultural tradition.
I was therefore surprised that such an influential figure was not included in a book about the Golden Age of Islam. I believe adding a section about Ziryab in a future edition would make the book even more complete and would help readers understand that the Muslim Golden Age was not limited to science and mathematics, but also had a profound influence on culture, lifestyle, arts, and fashion.
My advice would be to consider including Ziryab, along with other important Muslim cultural figures who helped shape the intellectual and cultural history of Europe, in future editions.
Overall, I found the book excellent, interesting, and highly valuable. Thank you for your work in bringing this important history to readers. I hope you will consider this suggestion for a future edition.
Best regards,
Rabbani
