@@joels310 according to whom, u? Get educated

[@joels310]

@@HN-fz6um according to Sir Francis Bacon and his Scientific methodology. The myth of the Islamic Golden Age of mathematics and scientific discovery is one often repeated but never really considered in the context of the era in which they claim to be Islamic in nature. The vast libraries in Alexandria and Nalanda are just 2 of which Islam destroyed, many others including Bagdad, Mosul (Nineveh), Odantapuri, and Somapuri just to name a few others of note. The thinking of Islamic leaders were stated by Umar, "if it doesn't say what is in the Koran it is useless, so burn it. If it says the same thing as the Koran, we already have it so likewise burn it." The untold millions of scrolls, scriptures and documents, literature, science, and mathematics destroyed are without measure. If you are still of the thinking that their scholars still had algebra, and some of the sciences, you would still be mistaken. There was a small window of indoctrination where the previous culture was tolerated for around 50-150 years of conquest. From these periods of time you have people who were still alive or taught by survivors of their old culture especially the Copts Greeks and the Persian cultures. Arabic numerals actually came from India. Their astronomy from the Persian, Greek and Egyptian cultures. Islam leaves cultural diversity a bloody stump wherever its transplanted or an invasion occurs and becomes the dominant culture group. The claim that Islam brought on the Renaissance is also a joke. The destruction of Constantinople caused the Scholars and artisans of the Greeks to flood Western Europe so I guess that's one way to credit Islam for the Renaissance. Long story short is that everywhere you look at where Islam is strictly practiced today is in abject poverty, illiteracy and ignorance are the norm. It was unique to the belief of a knowable God who created a knowable universe in Protestant Christianity that widespread literacy in Europe was developed, and the scientific and empirical sciences were created. Islam dose not mean peace, but surrender and I will forever try to reach out to those who I can show the light.

[@HN-fz6um]

@@joels310 [the scientific method was developed during the Islamic golden age] that's what I am talking about, you said it was not and also the Islamic golden age was led by the Abbasid caliphate, which came much after Umar that you're talking about and Islam has two main branches Sunni which makes 80% of Muslims and Shia which makes 20% of Muslims and Shia does not recognize Umar as a leader , which still has nothing to do with Islamic golden age and Islam insist on science and learning whether a leader of Islam does or not and you will find that in the Quran {my English is not that good so pls ignore any mistake}

So, this is a very good video. As you noted in the last video, Islamic scholars basically viewed themselves as extensions of the Indian, Greek and Iranian scholastic traditions. The Arabic/Indian numerals came into being through translations of astronomical texts. After the Ummayyad conquest of Sindh under Muhammad bin Qasim, Islamic scholars entered into a two-way exchange of ideas with Hindu scholars. This is especially true in medicine and astrology, since, at the time, South Asia was considered to have the best doctors in the world. If I'm not mistaken, the number system was introduced through the translation of astrological texts, namely the Brahmagupta Siddhanta. This translated corpus was known in Arabic as "Zeej as-Sindhind." According to Kitab al-Fihrist (an ancient catalog of Arabic texts) the libraries in Baghdad held translations of many key texts that were translated from Sanskrit. This "Zeej al-Sindhind" (Sindhind is a misanalysis of the word "Siddhanta") was used to develop much of Islamic astrology and many of the Islamic calendar systems, including the Jalali calendar. This isn't a hidden fact, since many medieval Islamic scholars (e.g., Masudi) praise Hindu scholars. Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of the scholarship on this topic is published in Arabic, but it stands in stark contradiction of how Hindu-Muslim relations are portrayed historically. Also, as a side note, the "Tajika Shastra" ("Tajika" is what Indians called Arabs during the early Medieval period) is a collection of astrology methods that were translated from Persian and Arabic into Sanskrit. These methods are now widely used in modern Vedic astrology.

Thumb up for the writing font of latin letters with arabic letters style ( the arabic T replacing the latin a or o and the arabic Y replacing the latin S). There is much creativity and knowldege put into making this font. I insisted in pointing this out since this info may not seem obvious for everyone. Fun fact, in the arabic language another set of numerals called indian numbers is used while in latin written languages the arabic numerals are used. When we had in math exams "write the solutions in arabic numerals" we students were totally confused in which set of numerals to write the solutions since we learned maths in French or English which used a set of numerals different from the arabic language while ignoring that numbers in French or English were called arabic numerals. Keep the good job.
