Islamic Medicine: Source based activities From ‘The Cultural side of Islam’ by Muhammad Pickthall The Muslims set out on their search for learning in the name of God at a time when Christians were destroying all the learning of the ancients in the name Christ. The Christians had destroyed the library at Alexandra. Learning for them was only for the devil and unbelievers. The priests publicly burnt the books of Greeks and Romans. However, the educated men of Islam set to work on translation of the ancient books. So the Muslims saved the ancient learning from destruction and passed its treasures down to modern times. The Greek contribution to medicine would have been lost without efforts of the Muslims. QUESTION: How Reliable is this source? Writing Frame available for this activity. Clicking on this link will
