Author: 
Dr. A. Zahoor
Excerpt: 

This is a partial list of some of the leading Muslims. Major Muslim contributions continued beyond the fifteenth century. Contributions of more than one hundred other major Muslim personalities can be found in several famous publications by Western historians.

Annotation: 

This large site includes dozens of bibliographies of Muslim astronomers, zoologists, mathematicians, physicians and philosophers. Also included are a series of articles about Islamic science and its impact on European thought (written by various scholars). Though the site has a clear bias, the articles should still prove useful for scholars who need a dates, names, and places or for scholars just beginning to research the history of Muslim science. The site also includes information about Islam and a number of excerpts from the Koran.
