Part 5: Knowledge Of The World
"Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave" is a famous injunction of Mohammed. Islam has always valued the use of reason, and it formed the bridge that links the knowledge of Greece to that of the present day. Many of the ideas and institutions now taken for granted came to Europe from the Islamic world - the large and beautiful colleges which led to probably the oldest universities in the world, like Al Ahzal in Cairo. The observatory and hospital also passed from Islam to Europe. Islam's contribution to medicine was particularly great.Release
