Abstract

Islam once experienced a golden age of knowledge. In this regard, Muslims excelled not only in religious knowledge but also in scientific knowledge, which developed during the classical Islamic period and had an impact on advancements in Europe. Classical scholars successfully combined religious values with natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and philosophy. These various fields of knowledge have had a lasting impact even to this day. This research method is qualitative.
