Muslim Heritage is the site which tells the participation of muslims in science, technology, arts and civilization. There are many helpful, informative and useful posts which can be useful for Islamic history students.
Mission: "To raise global awareness on the importance and relevance of Muslim Heritage and its mostly unaccounted contribution to current world civilization."
Few post titles are:
- Dam Construction in the Islamic Civil Engineering
- Astronomical Observatories in the Classical Islamic Culture
- Education in Islam - The Role of the Mosque
- Islamic Automation: Al-Jazari’s Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices
And each and every article has more article links so there is a lot of information which you cannot get from other sites.
Why this site was was created and why is is based on work for Muslim Heritage?
Site answers it:
'A vast repository of knowledge and historical data on the critical role of the Muslim contribution to science, technology and world civilization is available in library archives throughout the world. This knowledge if comprehensively extracted, documented and popularized, would provide stronger intellectual foundations for Muslims to begin to reassert their identity as major pioneers of human civilization.
There are a few centers of learning, scattered throughout the world, that have done excellent research work on Muslim heritage and have collated valuable source materials. There is however no project that has set out to catalog and centralize all these sources of Muslim heritage and make it available globally in a popular format.
Through the advancement in Internet technologies, FSTC (Foundation for Science Technology and Civilization) has the facility to allow global access to this new Muslim heritage database, including source materials, 3-D recreated models of Muslim technology and an online community of scholars and contributors.
