• The first free public hospital was opened in
Baghdad during the Caliphate of Haroon-ar-
Rashid. It employed 24 physicians, and included a
surgical unit and a department for eye diseases
As the system developed, physicians and surgeons
were appointed who gave lectures to medical
students and issued diplomas to those who were
considered qualified to practice.
• The first hospital in Egypt was opened in 872 AD
and thereafter public hospitals sprang up all over
the empire from Spain and the Maghrib to Persia.
Conclusion
During this period the Muslim world became the unrivaled
intellectual center for science, philosophy, medicine and
education.
The Quran urged Muslims to discover the natural laws which
governed the universe by reflecting on signs/ayats in the
universe, and such reflection led to scientific, political and
social advances.
Allah created the entire universe, and the whole of
creation shows humanity his signs. For Muslims, Science
was the method of investigating what has been created, so
there was no conflict between religion and science.
