A new study confirm that
life of educated people is longer than life of the uneducated, because
the more educated human is the less the probability to be infected by
diseases. Let us read…..
Modern
scientists admit that all recent advancement in technologies and
computer sciences are referred to a Muslim scientist, he is al-Khwārizmī.
Al-Khwārizmī was born in a Persian family and
scientists believe that his contributions had a great impact on
language. "Algebra" is derived from al-jabr, one of the two operations
he used to solve quadratic equations and algorithm stem from Algoritmi,
the Latin form of his name.
Adrian
Baddeley a professor of Statistics at the University of Western
Australia in the School of Mathematics and Statistics say: “Modern
mathematics owes much of its existence to Islam as Islamic
mathematicians of the Middle Ages developed many of the fundamental
cornerstones of modern mathematics. The word algebra comes from the
Arabic al-jabr, "
The field of
algebra was developed by Muslim mathematicians in the Middle East and
India. And algorithms, the processes of mathematics and computer
science, are named after the great Arabic mathematician al-Khwarizmi.”
Also He added
“The Prophet Mohammed enjoined Muslims to seek learning. The
enlightened cultural traditions of Islam ensured that the mathematical
works of previous cultures, such as the ancient Greeks, were preserved
rather than destroyed. Euclid's geometry is only known to us because it
was preserved in Arabic by Muslim scholars.”
Adrian says
about numbers “Our modern number system is called Hindu-Arabic in
recognition of its origins in the number systems of India and Arabia.
Our number system depends fundamentally on the number 0 (zero) which was
invented by Arab mathematicians. “
Educated live longer
Recent
researches proved that better education increase the chance of a long
life otherwise less educated people do not benefit from this trend.
For many
years, it was known that there is a relation between income and length
of life because people who have more money don’t eat cheap products and
can afford expensive medical services that are not paid by health
authorities.
But now there
is evidently a relationship between education and people’s health.
According to the study which held by David kotler and Ellen Meara his
fellow professionals in Harvard University they found that between
1981-1988 and between 1990 and 2000,people who stayed more than 12 years in education have long life than others who stayed less years.
Therefore,
they expect that born people in 1975 who have higher education may live
till they reach 82 years old. But others who have less education may
live till they reach 75 years old.
Researchers
believe that one explanation for this gap in lifetime is the habit of
smoking because less educated people tends to bad habits like smoking
but educated people are avoiding the definite danger of smoking.
The above
photo for students in a university, scientists say that educated people
avoid the risk and danger of many habits like smoking where the less
educated don’t care about that so their life may be less than others.
Islam is the religion of science
Science in Islam has a special concern so that Allah Almighty urges people to learn and look for science as He says: (Allah
will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been
granted knowledge. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.){Sûrat Al-Mujâdilah - The Woman Who Disputes –verse 11}.
Also the
first order Allah Almighty gave to prophet Mohamed peace be upon him is
the reading because the first descended word in Qur’an was (Read) and that was in the following holy verse: (Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists),){ Sûrat Al-‘Alaq - The Clot –verse1}.
Prophet
Mohamed peace be upon him assured on the benefits of science but the
benefits are not limited in this life but it extend to the hereafter as
he says in the hadith: “when man die his deeds
are terminated expect: the supplication of one of his children to him, a
continuous charity or a useful science that people can get benefit from
it”[Hadith Sahih by ALalbany] .
Here, prophet
Mohamed peace be up him not only stress on the importance of science
but it must be useful to humanity because there are many fields of
sciences that are destructive to civilizations and for human
.
Wealth is
perishable, so in our life we see people may commit suicide if they lost
their money but people who are in the right way and follow the
principles of Islam and care about science and continuous learning shall
leave a useful science to humanity which benefits them in this life and
in the hereafter.
At the end we should not forget some famous Muslim scientists who didn’t leave money but they leftmany useful sciences such as : al-Khwārizmī
, Jabir ibn Hayyān, Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi , Abū ‘Alī al-Ḥusayn
ibn ‘Abd Allāh ibn Sīnā , Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥasan ibn al-Haytham and recent scientists such as: Ali Moustafa Mosharafa, Ahmed Zewail…..And many other scientists over the years
