The luminous Aldebaran of Taurus, the majestic Rigel of the Orion constellation the night sky is studded with shining reminders of an age where the early Muslim astronomers mapped the heavens and the Earth, and committed the knowledge to thousands of paper manuscripts and stored them in the worlds first public lending libraries.In the early centuries following the Prophets death, Muslims made tremendous intellectual and scientific breakthroughs in areas as varied as astronomy, arts, science, math, philosophy and literature: a period accurately portrayed as the Golden Age of Islam.Referring to what he called civilizations debt to Islam, US President Barack Obama said in his famous speech at Cairo University in June 2009, It was Islam that carried the light of learning t...
