    The document discusses the influence of Islam on the Renaissance in 3 periods. The first was when Muslims translated books into Arabic and established a scientific movement. The second was a "Golden Age" when Muslim thinkers innovated and advanced sciences. The third was a period of decline but Europeans were still attracted to Islamic achievements and translated Muslim books, exposing themselves to ancient Greek and other Eastern sciences through Islamic works and advancing their own thinking. Centers in Sicily and Andalusia played an important role in Europeans accessing Islamic knowledge.

    “The influence of Islam in the Renaissance”

    The scientific movement of Muslims and the formation of Islamic culture and civilization are
    divided into three periods.
    first Period - With the spread of Muslim conquests and the acceptance of Islam in different lands,
    Muslims made every effort to use the sciences and experiences of different nations to create a
    scientific movement in Islamic lands. The main method in this way is the translation of various
    books into Arabic and the peak of this period is the ninth century AD. Which is called the
    scientific movement.
    The Second Period of the Muslim Scientific Movement or the Golden Age of Islamic
    Civilization - In this phase, Muslim thinkers used their genius and creative ideas to correct and
    develop the sciences of the past as well as to create new sciences. The peak of this period is the
    eleventh and twelfth centuries AD.
    In fact, what makes Muslims worthy of admiration and respect is their entry into the stage of
    innovation and striving for initiative, creativity, composition and reconstruction, and finally the
    development of sciences that are in the stage of translation and adaptation (in the stage of
    translation and adaptation).
    The third period - the period of scientific stagnation of Islamic civilization, which begins around
    the end of the twelfth century AD. In this period, although the intellectual sciences are declining
    in the Islamic world for various reasons, but Islamic civilization still has more authority than
    other civilizations due to the achievements of previous centuries, and for this reason it is
    attracted the attention of Europeans. They transmit Islamic culture and sciences in various ways.
    The peak of this period is in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries AD. One of the main ways of
    this transfer is the translation of Muslim books into European languages.
    By connecting with Islamic civilization that ruled from the Middle East to North Africa to Spain,
    European scholars sought to gain access to the science, technology, and culture of Islamic
    civilization and to translate Arabic texts into Latin. Due to the translation of Muslim texts by
    European scholars, there were changes in the thinking and attitude of European thinkers.
    Initially, the purpose of translating Muslim books, in addition to being familiar with the heritage
    of the past and the transmission of science, was to be able to provide appropriate answers to
    reject them by translating and familiarizing themselves with Muslim thoughts and ideas.
    Gradually, however, European thinkers became acquainted with the remarkable progress of
    Muslims in various sciences, and because of their interest in learning the various sciences of
    Muslims, their motivation was merely to learn the knowledge of Muslims.
    The centers that took on this important task of translating Arabic texts were the two regions of
    Sicily and Andalusia. During the eight hundred-year history of their rule over Andalusia,
    Muslims established large libraries, scientific and cultural centers. French, German, and British
    youth eagerly visited those centers. The books of Hippocrates, Aristotle, Ptolemy, Galen, etc.
    were studied in the scientific centers of Andalusia. In these scientific centers, young Arabs and
    Hispanics, Muslims and Christians studied science together. After returning to their homeland,
    they taught their compatriots the useful things they had learned by translating, teaching, and
    publishing books.
    Sicily also became one of the most important cultural and civilizational centers of the Islamic
    world during the nearly two hundred years of Muslim rule. European thinkers traveled to Sicily
    to acquire Muslim knowledge and culture.
    The impact of translating Muslim books in Europe varies, including:
    1. Access to ancient Greek science and knowledge through Muslim translations of these
    works.
    2. Familiarity and access to the sources and knowledge of the ancient civilizations of the
    Orient, such as: Indian, Iranian, Hebrew civilizations, etc. through the works of Muslims
    3. Familiarity and achievement of scientific and research achievements of Muslims in
    various scientific disciplines such as: mathematics, astronomy, mechanics, physics and
    optics, alchemy, medicine and philosophy.
    4. Moving the thinking of Europeans and making them aware of science and philosophy.
    5. Transfer of Indian numbers to Europe. The Indian numeral system was transferred to
    Europe through the translation of Muslim mathematical works, and for this reason it
    became known as Arabic numerals.
    6. The growth of university centers in Europe.
    7. Europeans' acquaintance with Muslim scientific centers led to economic growth,
    urbanization, and the establishment of schools in churches and monasteries in European
    countries.
