Arabic( Islamic) Influence on Medicine

Arabic, or what is called Islamic, science in terms of ******** in space and time denotes the scientific activities of individuals who lived in a region that might extended chronologically from the eighth century A .D .to the beginning of the modern era, and geographically from the Iberian Peninsula and north Africa to the Indus valley and from the southern Arabia to the Casian Sea that is , the region covered for most of that period by what we call Islamic Civilization, and in which the results of the activities referred to, were for the most part expressed in the Arabic ********.
The West has not not done justice to the influence of the Muslims on the historical development of medicine. Western writers have given little prominence to Islamic Scientific and intellectual contributions to this field. But the fact is that the Muslims carried the torch of science and thought in an age when no other civilization was able of doing so. At one time, learning was regarded as heresy, and the Eastern Christian Church persecuted all scientists.They, fleeing from persecution, found no refuge but the Islamic leaders, which look them in and acquired from them the scientific heritage of the time .They were given a great deal of veneration and respect by the Muslims, whoendeavoured to ensure for them a congenial atmosphere in which to work and to develop learning .That was the beginning of a universal cultural revolution which enlightened the ancient world, and which the West later embraced, inheriting from the Muslims theirscientific and intellectual achievements.
