The scientific movement in the Islamic East in the third century AH
Abstract
Education at the beginning of the emergence of the Islamic State was directly linked to places designated for this, as students of knowledge were received by scholars and their supervisors in mosques that were considered among the oldest centers of education in the Islamic State, as the scientific movement is one of the most important means of knowledge communication throughout the Islamic State. Many scholars from the vast Islamic East gathered to seek knowledge in Iraq, and they met famous people and sheikhs and studied with them. Likewise, some scholars traveled to the East, albeit in smaller numbers, to acquire knowledge and knowledge and to spread this wherever they went, and to transmit them, several works entered into the rational sciences.
Education centers in the Islamic Levant are associated with features that can be considered turning points in the general form of places for seeking knowledge and housing designated for students. Therefore, one of the foundations that the Islamic religion called for and encouraged is the pursuit of knowledge, and this was a strong incentive that made Muslims travel in seeking and acquiring it, and this in turn led to To the growth and prosperity of science in various Islamic countries, including Mecca and the cities of the Islamic East.
