Knowledge and science were fostered by the patronage of Muslim Khalifs and princes. They not only patronised the pursuit of science and other general knowledge but were themselves great students of science. They took an active interest in studying the science and they invited scholars from all over the world to visit their courts with new inventions, discoveries, research reports and dissertations.

By Mamoon's time medical schools were extremely active in Baghdad. The first free public hospital was opened in Baghdad during the Caliphate of Haroon-ar-Rashid. 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 practise. 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. (Glubb)

All this sophisticated knowledge and science could not be pursued without the active interest of the Khalifs. Why ere the Khalifs so intensely interested in the pursuit of knowledge? They were so because they knew that without knowledge they would not able to fulfill their mission on this earth. They knew that knowledge was power; they also knew that public service was service of Islam; they also knew that without people's welfare their rule and mission would be a failure; they knew that they were carrying out the torch of light to all humanity. This was at a time when most of humanity was living in very primitive conditions in most European countries, including England and France.

Knowledge in Islam is so important that the Prophet of Islam asserted that to seek knowledge was holier than fighting on the battlefield in the way of Allah and commanding people to seek knowledge even unto Chine and saying that the pursuit of knowledge was an obligation for every Muslim, man and woman. But the question arises of which knowledge should be acquired. There are millions of knowledgeable people throughout the world, but they are unable to recognize their Lord. They have only recognized the ‘glitter' of this world. To them life means the fulfillment of their carnal desires. Anything beyond carnal desires, beyond matter, is not understandable to them. They see nothing but matter and thus they are materialists. read more
