The Future of Islamic Science

How Science in Muslim Worlds going to develop if;
1. After the Second World War, most Islamic lands are still depending on western powers even after independent especially related to economic and political powers.
2. Issues of Palestinians, Iraq and other middle east countries are continuously highlighted.
3. Reestablished activities to strengthen the cultural barrier between the West and Islam and to distort the image of Islam continue and participated by many Islamic countries without looking back the history.
4. Globalisation and domination of culture, language and life style change the thinking ofe future generation.
5. Monopoly of higher education systems by introducing various systems forced all thirds world including Islamis countries to follow.We must realize that:
Science appeared in the Nile Valley, Syria and Mesopotamia continued uninterrupted over thousands of years, reaching its peak during the Islamic period, less than 200 years ago. There is a solid substratum to the civilization of the Muslim world in crafts and industrial skills inherited over thousands of years. After the Second World War, some Islamic countries started to industrialize and thousands of work¬shops and industrial plants were established in all Muslim cities.
Science and technology finds no cultural barriers. During historic times, science flourished only when an empire or a nation became mighty and rich, because it depends on the infrastructure provided by the existence of affluence. This is amply demonstrated through¬out Islamic history.
The Islamic world is rich in human resources, rich in petroleum and other natural resources.
Most of the oil-rich countries are small in size. Each cannot by itself create an effective science and technology, or an independent in¬dustrial economy.
Though most individual Islamic states now realize the importance of science and technology for their future development, and though some have achieved considerable success along this road, future progress in all Muslim countries, rich or poor, depend on the extent of economic co-operation and integration among them on a regional basis.
What the Muslim world should do for SCIENCE?
1. Be united; respect and understand the mission.
2. Stabilise economy and politic of Muslim Countries.
3. Identify requirement and develop the strategies with right person at the right time, place and mission.
4. Use all natural resources (human resources and economic resources)
5. Take care of the environment for better food and environment to live.
