Mā Chigūnah Mā Nashudīm?: Persian 1402

Some non-specialists have attempted to provide general analyses of the evolution of science in the Islamic period. They have investigated general issues, such as the decline of science in the Islamic world or the reasons for the non-occurrence of a scientific revolution, without referring to the first-hand scientific texts belonging to this historical period. On the other hand, historians of professional science are generally involved in their specialized work and have not seen the need to address these general issues. According to them, there was no need even to criticize the general views of non-specialists. But perhaps it is necessary for professional historians of science to address general issues, such as the rise or fall of science in the Islamic world, and in this way promote general knowledge in this field. The present work is an attempt to answer the question of whether science has declined in the Islamic period, especially in Iran. The author, as a historian of science of the Islamic period, considers the generalization of the decline of science to the entire historical geography of the Islamic period as a sign of carelessness and ignorance of the history of science in this period. He tries to answer the question that if science did not decline in Iran and in the Islamic period, why today is science and science in Iran and other Islamic lands far from the Western world?
