The College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Sharjah holds its 1st International Conference on the History of Science among Muslims and Arabs in conjunction with the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies and the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences.

The significance of this conference stems from the fact that it highlights the links amongst natural sciences, including Astronomy, Space Sciences, Engineering, Medical and Basic Sciences, as well as the Islamic Sharia Sciences. It also emphasises the role of the Arabs in establishing these sciences and the contribution of Islamic culture to human civilisation.

In addition to the academic and poster sessions, the conference includes a number of exhibitions featuring scientific and heritage manuscripts and instruments. It will also include two special workshops on the heritage of Astronomy and Space Sciences as well as Herbal Medicine. It is expected that more than 200 international scholars will participate in this conference from various fields. Due to the significance of this conference from an Islamic and scholarly perspective, your support and scientific contributions would serve as a vital investment to the science and heritage in the region. Moreover, holding such a conference revives the Islamic heritage and strengthens the ties between pioneering academic institutions in these fields across the world.

We would like to express our appreciation for your cooperation in order to make this conference a success in reviving Islamic scientific heritage and connecting it with modern technology and scholarship in the Islamic World.
