How Europe stole Islamic science

 

The Stolen Legacy: How Europe Built Its Renaissance on Arabic Science

The narrative of the European Renaissance is often told as a tale of genius suddenly awakening in the West after centuries of darkness. Yet this telling conveniently ignores the foundation upon which that "awakening" was built: the intellectual achievements of the Islamic Golden Age. From mathematics and astronomy to medicine and philosophy, Europe’s so-called “discoveries” were, in fact, the treasures of Arab and Muslim scholars—appropriated, rebranded, and then credited to Western names.

This truth is no longer hidden. European libraries preserve countless Arabic manuscripts, many of them covered with handwritten Latin and English notes in the margins. These annotations are evidence of a systematic transfer of knowledge. Arabic, for centuries, was the language of science in Europe. Universities from Spain to Italy taught Ibn Sina (Avicenna), al-Razi (Rhazes), Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen), and countless others in their original language. The Renaissance was not a rebirth from within—it was a borrowing from abroad.

But borrowing was not the only channel. There was also theft: discoveries carefully documented by Muslim scientists were stripped of their origins and republished under European names. The history of science, as told today, often erases this debt.

The Circulation of Blood: Ibn al-Nafis vs. William Harvey

William Harvey (1578–1657) is celebrated in Europe as the man who “discovered” blood circulation. Yet centuries earlier, Ibn al-Nafis (1213–1288) had already described pulmonary circulation with clarity in his commentary Sharh Tashrih al-Qanun. He explained how blood passes from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, becomes oxygenated, and returns to the left ventricle—a description identical to modern physiology. Harvey, in reality, did not discover; he inherited.

Newton and the Arabic Origins of the Laws of Motion

Perhaps the most striking example is Isaac Newton (1642–1727). His Principia Mathematica is revered as a cornerstone of modern physics, especially his formulation of the three laws of motion. Yet centuries earlier, Muslim thinkers had already articulated these principles in Arabic works—works Newton almost certainly had access to, given the widespread circulation of such manuscripts in Europe.

Newton’s First Law of Motion states:

“An object remains at rest, or in uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted upon by an external force.”

But Avicenna (Ibn Sina, 980–1037) had already written in Al-Isharat wa al-Tanbihat:

“You know that if a body is left alone with its natural state, and no external influence acts upon it, it will necessarily remain in its specific place and form, as compelled by its natural state.”

Newton’s Second Law of Motion declares:

“The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force acting upon it.”

Centuries earlier, Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (1149–1209), in Al-Mabahith al-Mashriqiyya, explained:

“If two bodies differ in their acceptance of motion, that difference is not due to the moving force itself, but to the differing states of the applied force. The force in the larger body is greater than that in the smaller, for what is in the smaller exists in the larger with an addition.”

Newton’s Third Law of Motion proclaims:

“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

Again, Fakhr al-Din al-Razi prefigured this law when he wrote:

“The ring being pulled by two equal forces until it stands in the middle undoubtedly involves each force acting upon it while being counteracted by the other.”

A Stolen Renaissance

The evidence is overwhelming. Europe did not arrive at scientific truth through independent experimentation alone. Rather, it absorbed, translated, and often misattributed the discoveries of Arab and Muslim scientists. This is not to diminish the later contributions of European scholars, but to restore balance to the historical record.

The Renaissance was not the birth of science—it was its inheritance. And much of that inheritance was taken from the Islamic Golden Age without acknowledgment. If today we are to speak of progress honestly, we must begin by recognizing the stolen legacy that underpins so much of Western science.

What’s in a brand

 

 

So the other day I went to a warehouse to buy groceries, and yes you can buy stuff straight from a warehouse it’s cheaper . Just not as convenient as supermarket. So there was an old man there who I knew, he was wearing an old shirt and a rubber slippers , you would have never guessed he was actually a millionaire who was running the whole operation. We made some small talk , he knew my family, and after a short time this man calculated my house hold income me and family combined. Man did not skip a beat. Did it in his head like it was second nature to him. I was a bit taken aback to tell you the truth. Then there were the porters men carrying all these heavy bags like human mules , I remember this one Venezuelan man slick hair cut and a brand name shoes . I think it was an expensive Nike actually. Reminds me of another time I was putting out the trash and the garbage man came out also wearing a Nike . Makes you wonder how people save invest and what they spend their money on . A little food for thought.

Miracle of the olive oil in the Quran

• Surah An-Nur (24:35):

  Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His light1 is like a niche in which there is a lamp, the lamp is in a crystal, the crystal is like a shining star, lit from ˹the oil of˺ a blessed olive tree, ˹located˺ neither to the east nor the west,2 whose oil would almost glow, even without being touched by fire. Light upon light! Allah guides whoever He wills to His light. And Allah sets forth parables for humanity. For Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

Selling your fridge to buy i

 

 Only in Trinidad 🇹🇹 the  mighty banana republic would this sad statement be true. The country had a crown jewel of its industry petrotrin producing local gasoline for the country that was paid for in TT dollars and could be produced with a fraction of the cost of foreign gas. A discount thar could be passed to the citizens. No, since petrotrin has been closed we no longer have that subsidy gas has slowly gone up in price to more than 200% like a man selling his fridge to buy ice and as the finance minister Colm  Imbert famously said as he laughed “ well they eht riot yet” Sometimes i wish we were more like France they would have brought the country to a stand still.

 I still remember watching that episode in parliament with the opposition, members read the supposedly corrupt business dealing in petrotrin involving a businessman a PNM financier and of all persons the email address of Prime Minister Keath Rowel’s brother. To the order of about $200 million dollars . In the coming weeks petrotrin was deemed unsustainably running at a loss with a missing $200 million. I wonder how that happened . It was hurriedly shut down and all the evidence quickly disappeared mysteriously. And that whole case quietly swept under the carpet. petrotrin was the major producer of foreign exchange together with all the down stream industries depending on it . Its well paid employees now did not have money to circulate into the country i remember talking to a doubles vendor and them telling me how hard things had become form them , ordinary workers could not even buy our beloved unofficial national dish. Ironically enough the price of oil and produces went up and had we just waited a little while it would have made back that $200 easily, seriously that happened . 

petrotrin was out major source of foreign currency and guess who now has a mysterious forex problem , drum roll please yes , Trinidad and tobago where only the select few have access to limited foreign currency and normal people be damed . Alas we have now graduated from a 3rd world country to a banana republic. Look at what the government has been doing to clico assets . I remember watching pictures of our ship yards for refitting ships i didnot even know we did that bu the PNM government had this rusting away its like they are actively trying to run the country to the ground . I dont understand best i can think its a small 1% that profits at the expense of the country and everyone else be damed . Dont even talk about crime every year just when you think it was bad enough its gets worst 600+ murders and counting and the year not even up yet. And the horrible thing happening to our normal people , targeting of hard working businesses people pillars of the community. When these people ( ordinary people and criminals) can not even buy a doubles they CAN NOT BUY FOOD what future do we have ?

And what is our situation how are we financing the country well , plans to tax everyone they want to give you tax now for a dog kennel , tax you for opening a stall to the side of the road to sell vegetables. All be it yachts are tax free and some of the multimillion dollars rental properties in the heart of port of spain are taxed free , i give you one guess who owns them . They are also raiding the Heritage and Stabilization fund , the one to protect us form the IMF. They are also borrowing money . why are you borrowing money , how are you going to pay for this with interest.

Time to migrate I guess . I do not see any other future advice for young people. What do you all think ?

About Allah’s names and attributes

 Tlahrif (distortion) is to alter the speech with addition or

subtraction, or to negate the attributes, either by outright

negation or improper interpretation of the meaning.

Takyif (saying how the names and attributes are): They

(Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamã'ah) do not say He rose over the

Throne like this or He descends like this, or He becomes

angry like this. They do not say how His names and attri-

butes are.

Tamthil (likeness or resemblance): they do not say His

anger is like this, or He ascended like this, or His hearing

is like this, or His sight is like this.

The Explanation of al-'Aqidah al-Wäsitiyyah By shaykh ul islam ibn taymiyyah

Ayah Kursi

Alläh! None has the right to be worshipped

but He, the Ever-Living, the One Who sustains

and protects all that exists. Neither slumber nor

sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever

is in the heavens and whatever is on earth.

Who is he that can intercede with Him except

with His permission? He knows what happens

to them (His creatures) in this world, and what

will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they

will never compass anything of His Knowledge

except that which He wills. His Kursi extends

over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no

fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And

He is the Most High, the Most Great.
