This blog is truly original and unique. I have never seen such informative content on a topic that many people I am sure don't know about. It's nice to see an original topic!

I am fascinated by this site and will use it as a source of reference in the future.Thank God the Islamic World retained and developed ancient knowledge whilst Christendom languished under the Inquisition.The World would be a much poorer place if it wasn't for these men.I am adding you to my favourites.Thankyou.Simon at TheRainbowBank

fantastic blog this and maybe a bit of an eye opener for some in the uk, whilst we were still living in caves in the uk great strides were being made in the east, As i live in Bradford England with a very high Asian population some of the facts were known to me but still a few surprises to be found in here keep up the good work i am sure it will surprise some of the supposed academics over here with their plastic qualifications in sociology etc best regards stu

Meams blog, Shining History - Medieval Islamic Civilization, is one of the most interesting blogs I have read. I am a true fan. I learn something new, insightful and interesting every time. It's amazing that the discoveries she writes about took place so early in the Islamic culture and yet, not discovered by Europe for many centuries later.
A truly fascinating read.

I am truly impressed by this blog. It's well organized, accessible and easily navigated. It's set up for readers - yes! But more impressive still are the contents. I wish I had the time to just stay and read and read all about the remarkable contributions of Muslims in Science & Technology made during the Medieval Islamic Civilization. I particularity enjoyed reading about the elephant clock, the first mechanical instrument and the steam turbine. This is an educational five star blog that I highly recommend. Hopefully, I will be able to make the time to visit it again and again.
