Have you ever used tablets, ointments or syrupy medicines?

So did the people of Baghdad, Iraq, more than 1100 years ago.

The truth is...this answer deserves volumes.

To put it short, begin by watching this BBC clip on Islamic contribution to modern medicine:

(Look through the entire page and website, it will open your universe and understanding of the hidden truth of Islam's contribution to modern civilization.)

As early as the 10th century, Muslim physicians were treating eye diseases and even performing cataract surgery. Al-Mawsili, an Iraqi ophthalmologist and physician, designed a special needle to remove cataract by suction. The books of medicine written by Muslim scientists in the period scoffed as the "dark ages" were the golden ages of Islam and hence science and innovation. The books of medicine written by Muslim scholars during this time were taught, learned and practised throughout Europe till centuries (e.g. the Canon of Medicine). Surgical tools that were used until even the late 19th century were descendents of complex tools made by Muslim doctors in Andalus and other Islamic lands. The Concept of widespread, nationally provided Hospitals, and a unified healthcare system even reaching the poor.

Al-Razi, known to the Europeans as Rhazes (may be spelt Rhases, Rasis, Rasi or ar-Razi) (850 - 923), was at the forefront of Islamic research into medicine. A prolific writer, he produced over 200 books about medicine and philosophy, including an unfinished book of medicine that gathered most of the medical knowledge known to the Islamic world in one place. This book was translated into Latin and it became one of the backbones of the western history of medicine.

As a university student, I spent a great deal of my studies uncovering the whitewashing of American History but it wasn't until far later that I learned the magnitude to which Islamic contributions to the west had been systematically removed from the tomes of civilization. On this day, reserved for remembrance of Columbus (a scoundrel in his own right), few Americans know that his voyages were largely funded by the coffers of the Nasrids or that the maps he used to navigate his way across the Pacific were likely those left behind by Muslim cartographers and found in the masjid he operated out of. Nor is it even well known that it was Morocco that first recognized the United States as a sovereign nation. The importance of history lies in a people understanding their potential to attain greatness and a recognition of that potential from others who otherwise will leverage ignorance to their benefit.
