The modern scientific world in our great technological era owes a particular debt to the Muslims, especiallay in the fields of Optics.

In the Scientific world, we possess the book of rays by al-Kindi (of the 9th century), which was already far in advance then those books produced by the Greeks lore of the incendiary mirrors.

The Great Muslim Scientist, Ibn al-Haitham (Alhazen, 965), who was a great reseracher in the field of optics deeply studied the nature of the eye. Ibn al-Haitham's research was later utilized in the modern world in order to develop what we have that is known as the modern day camera.

Al-Kindi, al-Farabi, Ibn-Sina, al-Birun and others who were representatives of Muslim science, yield their place to none in the world history of science. 

The religion of Islam, due to the fact that it was ordained directly by the Creator, finds no contradiction between the laws of the faith and the modern and natural scientific world.
