00:00:02 --> 00:00:07
			And we find today that Muslims are in the firing line
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:30
			we find that Muslims have become backward as far as science technology is concerned as far as
education is concerned. And the main reason is because we have gone away from the Quran and Sunnah.
Previously, from the eighth to the 12th century, it was called as the Dark Ages, that for whom, that
for the Europeans,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			the amount of advances the Muslim Arabs made, it is phenomenal.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:42
			And if we read history, what we read in school, I myself have passed from a convent school.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			A Christian missionary school, I've got medication from there.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:01:00
			It's later on. Afterwards, I realized that what I read in school, and in my medical college of being
a medical doctor, many things is something different. We are taught in school
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			that the blood circulation
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			was first discovered William Harvey.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:47
			In fact, if you read the Quran, Quran speaks about the blood circulation, incident, chapter number
16, verse number 66. How does the food enter into the stomach? Then from there, it goes into Stein
from the understand why the bloodstream to various organs of the body, including the mammary glands
which are responsible for the production of milk, it speaks about the production of milk and about
the blood circulation. In a nutshell, insulin, the hill, Chapter 16, verse 66. After research, I
came to know that the first human being who first described the blood circulation was it manifests
600 years after the Quran was revealed, and 400 years before William Harvey, but when we read in our
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			textbook,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:54
			we are told about William Harvey, how many of us know about admin fees? How many of us
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:23
			hardly anyone knows that admin fee for the first person to describe the best circulation. We learn
about geography, but the person who do the first world map of geography was allydrew c 1154. What we
studied the digits in school, we know what it's called, it is called as Arabic numerals, the 1234
that we use for writing 1234. It is called as Arabic numerals. The other is Roman numerals.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:42
			The Indians were the people who first discovered about the zero. And that up, took it from there and
made it famous to the world by adding a decimal. That's how we have the system today. We learn in
mathematics, about the Pythagoras theorem, that the square of the hypotenuse
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:54
			in a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The Pythagoras theorem that
we learned in school, it was first discovered by ultimacy.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:05
			So we know that Muslims few centuries back they were advanced in science and technology. But when we
read in our textbook today, they hardly mentioned
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			who is the father of trigonometry? It is albinoni
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:17
			Have you heard of Al Kindi akindi wrote 200 works in mathematics and geometry,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:36
			in logic, and at a time when Galileo desk Curtis and Newton, when they said that all physical laws
absolute, he said that it was relative. Later on, Albert Einstein did more research and he
propounded the theory of relativity.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:52
			When we read history, we come to know that Mohammed Ahmed and Hassan Shakur, these brothers, they
measured the surface area of the earth by measuring angle 100 C, at a time, when people thought the
world was flat.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			We learn chemistry
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:08
			and we are told that deber is the person who discovered alcohol. It is Java. And Java, when they
write in our textbook is Gerber Gerber sounds like a Westerner. It is JavaScript Nyan.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:20
			When we read we think what's the western jabber, jabber and JavaScript nihan. He described our call.
And the word alchol comes from the Arabic word Algol, meaning evil spirit.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			When we read it, we come to know about Mama zaccaria Razi,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:33
			was advanced in the field of medicine, and even wrote books on measles and smallpox.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			When we read medicine,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			we know that Alinea boss
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			he wrote 20 volumes on practice and theory of medicine.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:58
			We are told about everything. Everything is total of the East. It is aliveness ina le Messina. He
was called as the Aristotle of the East. You're the philosopher. You are the mathematician
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:15
			So when we go back to history and we see that we Muslims, we've on top of the world. The reason we
were on top of the world at that time is because at that time, we were close to the Quran and
Sunnah. Now, we have gone away from Quran and Sunnah and that's the reason we are in the firing
line.
