WhyIslam
READ FIRST! (Someone posted this picture and
another person wrote this awesome response
that gives us hope) Alhamdulillah!
Yes, lets imagine a world WITHOUT MUSLIMS,
shall we? Without Muslims you wouldn't have:
- Coffee
- Cameras
- Experimental Physics
- Chess
- Soap
- Shampoo
- Perfume/spirits
- Irrigation
- Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine,
valves, pistons
- Combination locks
- Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals adopted this
technique as it made the building much
stronger, rose windows, dome buildings, round
towers, etc.)
- Surgical instruments
- Anesthesia
- Windmill
- Treatment of Cowpox
- Fountain pen
- Numbering system
- Algebra/Trigonometry
- Modern Cryptology
- Crystal glasses
- Carpets
- Checks
- University
- Optics
- Toothbrush
- Hospitals
- Bathing
- Quilting
- Mariner’s Compass
- Soft drinks
- Pendulum
- Braille
- Cosmetics
- Plastic surgery
- Calligraphy
- Manufacturing of paper and cloth
It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS
our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we
EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from
this discovery.
It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852,
even though it is the Wright Brothers who have
taken the credit.
It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn
Hayyan who was known as the founder of
modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy
into chemistry. He invented: distillation,
purification, oxidation, evaporation, and
filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric
acid.
It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is
known as the father of robotics.
It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry
V’s castle.
It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to
suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used
today.
It was a Muslim who actually discovered
inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat
cowpox. The West just brought it over from
Turkey
It was Muslims who contributed much to
mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry,
which was imported over to Europe 300 years
later to Fibonnaci and the rest.
It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth
was round 500 years before Galileo did.
The list goes on and on..
Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I
think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A
WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I
would agree, the world would definitely be a
better place without those pieces of filth. But to
hold a whole group responsible for the actions
of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would
ever expect Christians or White people to be
held responsible for the acts of Timothy
McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas
Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot
Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12
and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they
had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like
the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing
to do with this incident!
