Islamic Golden Age

The Islamic world in the period between 132AH/750AD – 655AH/1258AD is marked by technological advancements stemming from the ability of its community to preserve, adapt and build on already existing knowledge assimilated from others. There was a culture highly creative in its approach to driving technological progress, which led to the development of valuable innovations and the accumulation of vast wealth. More importantly, these innovations enabled the community to achieve the Maqāṣid. Leadership, stable rules of law, common trade rules, effective administration, and strong institutions are some of the ingredients giving rise to a culture of technological creativity. An often-underrated essential ingredient is the communication of information. Knowledge codified as information in patents, journal articles, and book chapters is only useful when it is efficiently communicated to individuals who can transform the information into innovations. During this golden age, there were many individuals involved with the delivery and exchange of information. Non Muslim members within the community-made notable contributions, particularly in translating non-Arabic scientific works into Arabic. Later generations of Muslim innovators made extensive use of these translated works which included insightful dialectical commentaries.

Secularism that separates religion from mundane aspects, including science andknowledge, that appeared and applied in the West turned out to present themselves asa different face when applied in the Islamic world. In the West, secularism became areason for science breeding. Meanwhile, in the Islamic world, secularism actually triggerthe birth of science dichotomy that led to the neglect of science. In turn, the practiceof science dichotomy is precisely the cause of the deterioration of Islamic civilization.Muslim community has a different cultural history with the West. Historically, Islambecame the main driver of progress of science in the golden age. This is different withWestern history that marred by tensions between science and religion. Therefore, Islamiceducation should be developed in accordance with its integrative and nondichotomousculture. Therefore, religion and science in Islam is a unity. Epistemology of Islamiceducation is built by making sciences as part of its supporting pillars.

High Middle Ages

The High Middle Ages in Islamic Spain (al-Andalus) is often described as a golden age in which Jews, Christians and Muslims lived in harmony. The attested dynamics of conversions to Islam disturb this idyllic, static picture, revealing the religious and social pressures exerted on the religious minorities. The different reactions of the Jewish and Christian communities of al-Andalus to these pressures allow us to refine our understanding of conversion in the Medieval Islamic world. A close examination of the Jewish family of Banū Ḥasday shows more nuances and ambivalence than ‘conversion’ normally suggests.

Islamic Golden Age

The rise of European science during the Renaissance is greatly indebted to the flourishing of the sciences during the Islamic Golden Age. However, some believe that medieval Islamic physicians and in particular surgeons had been merely a medium for Greco-Roman ideas. Contrarily, in some medieval Islamic medical books, such as Al-Tasrif of Al-Zahrawi (936–1013), the surgical instructions represent a change in the usual techniques or are accompanied by a case history, implying that the procedure was actually undertaken. Along with the hundreds of chapters on different diseases and related medical and surgical treatments, Al-Tasrif includes a chapter on surgical techniques for gynecomastia. The present paper is a review of the description of the surgical management of gynecomastia by Al-Zahrawi as well as that of the ancient Greek, medieval, and modern medicine. Although Al-Zahrawi seemed to base his descriptions of surgery for gynecomastia upon those of Paulus of Aegina, his modification of the procedure and application of the medicinal substances might be indicative of Al-Zahrawi’s own practice of the procedure. Al-Zahrawi’s surgical procedures remained unchanged for many centuries thenceforward until the technological evolution in the recent centuries.

Islamic Golden Age

One of the keys to advancing a nation is education. The future of a nation really needs the contribution of the nation's children who are competitive, superior, intelligent and faithful, given that competition is increasingly high in the global era. Indonesia has several problems in the world of education, starting from the low teacher salaries to high dropout rates, ending with the absence of the Indonesian education system in the list of 20 countries with the best education systems in the world. Islam itself in the field of education had enjoyed periods of glory when the Abbasid dynasty came to power. The fifth caliph's policy, Harun Ar-Rasyid, which at that time concentrated on improving the quality of education, made this period worthy of being dubbed the golden age of Islam (the Islamic Golden Age). The education policy that Ar-Rasyid applied could certainly be a solution to solve various problems that are currently sweeping the world of Indonesian education. This study focuses on the educational policies adopted by Caliph Harun Ar-Rasyid during the golden age of Islam. Through the literature study method, this study confirms that by studying history, all problems that are sweeping the world of education in this country can be resolved, and figures like Ar-Rasyid are the most appropriate to be asked for a solution.
