CREATESPACE Illustrated Encyclopedia of Golden Age of Science and Civilization in Islam: The Origins and Sustainable Ethical Applications of Practical Empirical Experimental Scientific Method

10th Anniversary Illustrated and Colour Coded 2025 Collector’s Ed. A Decade of Illumination - A Millennium of Legacy: Marking ten years since its first release, the Collector's Ed. of this encyclopedia emerges anew—vastly expanded, meticulously refined, pragmatically applicable and spiritually invigorated. In a time riddled with misconceptions, this seminal work rises like a Golden Eagle—dispelling the shadows of distortion, appropriation, and misrepresentation that have long obscured Islam's true legacy in the annals of science and civilization. Revelation Infuses Reason - The Fusion of Human Passion and Creativity with Qur’anic Epistomology and Empiricism: This magnum opus spans over three decades of profound inquiry. It is not merely an encyclopedia—it is an intellectualascension through the sacred corridors of knowledge that once illuminated the world from Khawarism to Baghdad and Córdoba. Anchored in the spirit of Ulum al-‘Itibar (Empirical Sciences), this encyclopedia resurrects the forgotten fountains of sustainable innovation, ethical inquiry, and cosmological wonder forged by the Qur'an. References are taken from the tresures of Islamic Scientific Manuscripts preserved in the works of Father of Scientific History, George Sarton and woven with the linguistic gold threads from Edward Lane’s seminal work, the Arabic-English Lexicon, giving etymological and linguistic root meaning of the original Qur’an in Arabic. Revised, Resuscitated and Reawakened: Led by visionary researcher and scientist Gabriel Iqbal, this work is a bold Ijtihad (Critical Thinking) in contemporary knowledge: a wholistic exploration that redefines scientific progress not merely as a pursuit of power, but as a path to Taqwa (Oneness of the Creator), harmony, and planetary stewardship. Through a systematic investigation of historical paradigms—from Alhazen's (Father of Scientific Method) “Optics” to Al-Jazari’s (Father of Engineering and Robotics) “Automata”—here, the spirit of Abbas ibn Firnas (Father of Aviation) pierces the veil of illusion and limitation, Avicenna’s (Father of Experimental Medicine) and Zahrawi’s (Father of Surgery) healing philosophy stirs the essence of modern medicine, and the ink of Fatima Al Fihri (The lady who opened the worlds first university) flows once more into the arteries of contemporary science. Every page echoes the Qur’anic invitation: “Do they not reflect?” (Afalā tatafakkarūn?), drawing seekers into a sacred orbit where ‘Ilm (knowledge) is both a celestial command and an earthly transformation. It reconnects the empirical method with its rightful roots in the Golden Age of Islam (800–1800). It offers a vital framework for present and future generations to re-engineer global scientific ethics and Resuscitated a "Civilized Science"—a science in service of Justice (Adl), Mercy (Rahma), and Peace (Salaam). Collector’s Illustrated Colour Coded Edition - Over 100 Beautiful Infographics and Detailed Templates: These visual treasures are tailored for integration via large posters into school and university curricula, science museums, and exhibitions. They breathe life into complex ideas and embody a Didactic Aesthetic—a sacred union of beauty (Jamal) and knowledge (‘Ilm)—inviting learners to engage with science not only as an academic discipline, but as a moral and emancipated journey. Toward a New Sustainable Scientific Ethos: This work champions a revivalist call for a future where science and spirituality converge, and where global sustainability is guided by Divine Harmony (Mizan). It dares to dream of a world where humanity transcends mere meaningless, consumption and domination to embrace coexistence, Wisdom (Hikmah), and reverence for all creation.
