The Quietus of Muslim Knowledge

A Civilization’s span or period involves origin, grapple, peak, downfall and death. Some of them hang on for more time on peak and some in grapple phase. The dignity of great Egyptian Civilization would, probably, be never replaced by any civilization. There were other civilizations such as Greek, Chinese, Mesoptomians, Aztecs and many more. Arabic civilization grew in 7th century and thus the third Abrahamic religion, Islam, was in action. Muslim world produced great scientists and philosophers from 800 AD to 1100 AD. This was the golden era of Arabic civilization. Prejudice of any kind was considered as a small minded approach. Universities and books were open and available for every person whether from Rome, India or Iran. This was the time when the diamond seeds planted by Greeks were flourished into small beautified plants. Mathematics, Optics, Chemistry of minerals, medicine, celestial bodies and their rhythms were observed and documented so beautifully. The knowledge was flowing in arabic streets but then something bad happened! In 12th century AD there came a theologian in muslim world. He declared maths as The work of Devil and surprisingly he convinced a vast majority of muslims about this. He preached that nothing good will come from these books and science and everything was a deception. He was Imam Ghazali! Muslims everywhere still regard him sacred, ecclesiasitical, holy and absolute saint. This is the reason why muslims still have not recovered from the deep ignorance and profound backwardness. But time does not care for anyone. When Muslims started to hit their heads in the walls for their superstitions then came a storm which added into their distruction. He was Ghengis Khan. Nevertheless, it is certain that Muslims destroyed themselves! Of all the issues that Muslim world is facing today their ignorance has got to be the most prominent one. They give more importance to their saints than the scientists. Candles of knowledge have been replaced by terrifying darkness of delusions, history deceptions and denseness. History have seen many of such sad cases in which civilizations destroy themselves just because they start valuing wrong things and ignore the most promising and legendary luggage.
