In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
To the Children of the Muslim Ummah,
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
I write this letter to remind you of the glorious legacy of our forefathers and the responsibility we carry as inheritors of this remarkable heritage.
Our scientific legacy has been a beacon of light for humanity.
Muslim scientists, scholars, and thinkers have contributed immensely to the advancement of knowledge, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire. Here are some of the remarkable figures whose work shaped the course of science and human progress:
1. Ibn Sina (Avicenna) – The father of medicine and philosophy, whose monumental works like The Canon of Medicine guided the medical sciences for centuries.
2. Al-Khwarizmi – The founder of algebra, whose groundbreaking contributions laid the foundation of modern mathematics and astronomy.
3. Alhazen (Ibn al-Haytham) – The pioneer of optics, who discovered the principles of light and vision and developed the precursor to the modern camera.
4. Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber) – The father of modern chemistry, who established experimental methodologies in the sciences.
5. Averroes (Ibn Rushd) – A philosopher, jurist, and physician who bridged the gap between Greek philosophy and Islamic thought.
6. Al-Biruni – A polymath who excelled in astronomy, geography, physics, and more, providing insights into the natural world.
7. Al-Zahrawi – The father of modern surgery, who authored encyclopedic works on surgical procedures and tools.
8. Omar Khayyam – A mathematician, astronomer, and poet who contributed to the development of geometry and calendar reform.
9. Al-Farabi – A scholar of philosophy, and science, who enriched knowledge across multiple disciplines.
Beloved Children of the Ummah,
Our ancestors demonstrated that science is not just a means for worldly advancement but a path to understanding the wisdom and power of Allah. Science, at its core, reveals the signs of our Creator. Unfortunately, in today’s world, science is often detached from its divine purpose, and its truths are manipulated for personal or political gain.
It is your duty to revive this legacy. Strive for excellence in science and knowledge, not merely for personal success but to serve humanity and to honor the divine purpose behind all creation. Let the world see, through your efforts, that science is a testament to Allah’s boundless wisdom and power.
My prayers are with you all. May you become the pioneers of a new era of discovery and progress, guided by faith and dedicated to the betterment of humanity.
Sincerely,
Lone Hamidullah
