WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Muslim conquerors eventually came into possession of various Greek and Roman manuscripts. Rather than destroy these works, Muslim scholars carefully preserved them, translating them into Arabic, studying them, and in some cases building on ideas set down by the ancient writers in their own works.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. The Arabs acquired Greek geographical and astronomical knowledge in the eighth century, when the works of Ptolemy and other Greek philosophers were translated into Arabic. Muslim scholars learned Greek scientific thought and accepted these views as working theories necessary for further scientific inquiry.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muslim religious scholars study the Quran and other holy texts, conduct research on the history of Islam, publish research papers and books, teach students about Islam, and study current issues in Islam (such as Islamic finance, public policy, and the religion’s relationship with the West).

Detailed explanation-4: -Greece played a crucial role in the transmission of classical knowledge to the Islamic world. Its rich historiographical tradition preserved Ancient Greek knowledge upon which Islamic art, architecture, literature, philosophy and technological achievements were built.

Detailed explanation-5: -Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars worked to translate ancient texts from Greece, India, and Persia into Arabic. They preserved old learning. They also improved ways of doing things that influenced the Scientific Revolution in Europe centuries later.

Detailed explanation-6: -As books were gathered, so were many Arab scholars who had studied Greek ideas in the east. For example, Muhammud ibn ‘Abdun and ‘Abdu’l-Rahman ibn Ismail came to Spain and introduced many ideas about medicine as well as several of the works of Aristotle and Euclid.
