A few etiquettes of note taking Listen to what is being said first and then write down the key point ONLY. Give attention to the teacher. Do not spend most of your time writing. If you missed a point, put your hand up.

Study of the universe and outer space. Astronomy

Why did Muslims master Astronomy?

Necessary for Muslims to calculate times of daily prayers by sun’s position in the sky. To make a calendar in order to fast – lunar months To calculate direction of Makkah by sun’s relation to Moon

What were the 3 reasons?

Copernicus refers in his book de Revolutionibus to al-Zarqali and al-Battani – 10th and 11th century Muslim astronomers Toledo was centre of world astronomy for 300 hundred years – Europe used its astronomical tables for 200yrs

And there’s more… Ibn Rushd (12th C) – discovered sunspots Al-Battani (died 929CE) – Calculated length of solar year, predicted eclipses etc Al-Biruni (973-1048) – Calculated Earth’s circumference, stated Earth rotated around own axis, fixed direction of Makkah from any point on globe Ibn Rushd (12th C) – discovered sunspots

Why were the Muslims so successful? They fixed their relationship with Allah, so Allah fixed their relationship with everything else. Perfect your deen, then Allah perfects everything else. The Prophet (s.a.w) said “If leaders do not govern according to the book of Allah, you should realize this will not happen without Allah making them into groups and making them fight another” (Ibn Majah)
