Muslims were great scientists. Muslim scientists who studied the heavens perfected the astrolabe. Sailors used it to tell what longitude:latitude and where they were on the Earth. When they used the astrolabe to measure the Earth, they realized that it was round. The Muslims were the first to discover this.

They experimented with metals and kept records of their work. As a result, they classified themselves as chemists, or the founders of chemistry. Also, Al-Razi was the first to categorize animals, veggies, and minerals. He wrote books for doctors to help them to identify diseases.
