Product description:

An informative lecture and slideshow that surveys one of the forgotten chapters of history and that is the almost 1500 years of advancement in medicine by Muslims that occurred as Islam spread throughout the world. Islam's rich heritage of medicine is on display in this session as the speaker discusses the Muslim contributions in this field through their tremendous knowledge possessed, techniques employed, translations made, and institutions developed. A lecture for Muslims and non-Muslims that shows Islam's flourishing civilization and how it influenced the European Renaissance and the whole of the world.

"For 1000 years there was no other medicine practiced in the whole of the world [than Islamic medicine]. Europe was in the Dark Ages, the only thing that they knew at the time was... superstition. All the advancement in medicine was taking place in the Islamic world, especially in Baghdad."

"There was no direct translation of any of the Greek books into any of the European languages. It was only through Arabic that they learned about the entire ancient Greek history."
