Introduction

The Islamic Golden Age refers to the period in Islam's history during the Middle Ages when much of the historically Arabic speaking world was ruled by various caliphates, experiencing a scientific, economic, and cultural flourishing.

Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi

Also known by his Latin name Albucasis was an Arab Muslim physician and surgeon. He is said to be the father of surgery and is known to be the greatest medieval surgeon to have appeared from the Islamic word. His biggest influence on our history is writing Kitab al-Tasrif, a thirty-volume collection of medical practice,and much of these books were translated into other languages so they can help and teach many different countries about the great things he discovered.

He is most known for his workin making the al-Jāmiʿ bain al-ʿilm wa al-ʿamal al-nāfi fī ināat al-iyal (The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices) in 1206, in which he talks about fifty mechanical devices along with instructions on how to construct them.

Abbas Ibn Firnas designed a water clock called al-Maqata, devised a means of manufacturing colorless glass .He wasn't scientist but rather someone who looked into how things worked and tried to understand the mechanics of flight, he built a suit of silk with wood reinforced rods.
