Muslim scholars did much work in the field of astronomy, the study of objects in the universe. Astronomy had many practical uses for Muslims. For example, navigational tools were improved to locate the direction of Mecca. These instruments allowed worshipers far from the holy city to pray facing in the correct direction. Astronomers also figured out exact times for prayer and the length of the month of Ramadan.
Medicine
Ughhhhhhh
Does anyone know how to help this injured man?
Most educated people in medieval times believed that Earth was round, but they disagreed about Earth's size. Muslim scientists improved on calculations made by the ancient Greeks to reach a measure of Earth's circumference that was close to the correct value.
Scholarship and Learning
WOOOOOO!!!
Congrats everyone you have all graduated!!!
Algebra is used to solve problems involving unknown numbers. An example is the equation 7x + 4 = 25. Using algebra, we can figure out that in this equation, x represents 3. Al-Khwarizmi's famous book on algebra was translated into Latin in the 12th century and became one of the most important mathematics textbooks used in the universities of Europe.

Muslim hospitals had separate wards for men and women, surgical patients, and people with diseases that others could catch. Doctors treated ailments with drugs, diet, and exercise. They gave patients remedies made from herbs and other plants, animals, and minerals. Pharmacists made hundreds of medications, such as drugs that dulled patients' pain. Antiseptics cleaned wounds, and ointments helped to heal them.
Muslim rulers built schools, colleges, libraries, and other centers of learning. From a small village, Baghdad grew into one of the world's largest cities. It became a major center of learning, where Persian influences combined with the Arabic heritage of Islam. There, Caliph al-Ma'mun founded the House of Wisdom in 830, where scholars from many lands gathered to do research and to translate texts from Greece, Persia, and India.
Art sometimes was religious, as in the elaborately illuminated manuscripts of the Qumran. But artists and craftspeople also applied their talents to everyday items like plates, candlesticks, glassware, and clothing. They decorated the walls and other features of mosques and palaces with intricate designs.
