Muslim Technology Expert

 Muslim Technology Expert - The great services of Muslim technology experts have indeed had a big impact on everyday life. We also know that the world of technology is always full of inventors and originators of innovative ideas and thoughts. Who would have thought that behind the invention and the increasingly sophisticated technology industry today is the touch of Muslim experts behind it. So this proves that Muslim technology experts are not inferior and deserve to be recognized in technological developments, such as Western scientists. Well, this time we will provide information about several Muslim technology experts whose existence has greatly influenced the development of the technological world. The scientist who is very influential in the world of technology is Ibn -ul-Haytham. This scientist is a character who has succeeded in creating optics. Now his invention is very useful for use in camera devices. The camera is a very valuable product. Through camera shots, humans are able to capture moments in the form of images and videos. Currently, the development of technology in the camera is controlled by Western and Japanese scientists.

In the history of cameras, Western nations say that the development of camera technology was first initiated by Kepler, who claimed to have invented the Obscura camera in 1611 AD. But actually at the end of the 10th century AD, Ibn Al Haitham first invented the Obscura camera which was used to study solar eclipses. This camera product created by Al Haitham works in simple imaging, where there is a small hole in the wall to see the motion of the sun which can be projected through a flat surface. The results of this study were then written by Al Haitham in an al Manazir book or an optical book. It is suspected that the book was read by Kepler and developed with a larger image projection using a negative lens behind a positive lens. It is one of Al Haitham's most instrumental works. This very influential discovery was successfully carried out, together with Kamaluddin al Farisi. The two experts successfully studied the camera obscura phenomenon. The discovery stems from both of them who are both studying solar eclipses. This study of optical knowledge was finally able to trigger the capabilities of today's cameras used by humans. The world knows that al Haitham is a pioneer in the popular field of optics through his book al-Manazir.

Technological developments are increasingly advanced, during World War I, a version of the camera obscura was used to view aircraft and for measurement of capabilities. During World War II, this camera obscura was also used to check the navigation accuracy of radio devices. That was the creation of the Camera Obscura which was achieved by Haitham which was able to change world civilization. Modern civilization is certainly very indebted to the sacrifices made by Al Haitham. Given that he has written more than 200 scientific papers throughout his life. All of that was done for the development of human civilization. However, it is unfortunate that Muslims prefer to be amazed by the achievements of western technology. This of course also lacks respect and respect for what has been achieved by Muslim technology experts during the heyday of Islam. The Muslim scientist who managed to find a tool that can fly is Abbas Bin Firnas. This Muslim scientist was the first to successfully construct a flying device. Abbas Qasim Ibn Firnas was born in 810 in Izn-Rand Onda (now Spain).

He is known as an expert in scientific disciplines, chemist, inventor, humorist, musician, poet writer, natural scientist and a technology activist. This Moroccan Muslim technology expert lived during the reign of the Umayyad Caliph in Andalusia, Spain. Precisely in 852, under the rule of Caliph Abdul Rahman II, Abbas Bin Firnas decided to conduct flight trials. Successfully made an object that resembles a bird, a kind of wing from the jubbah supported by wood. At the time of his experiment, Abbas managed to fly the object in Cordoba, Spain. The object is able to float in the air for a while and is able to slow down its fall. He also managed to feel flying and managed to land even with minor injuries. The tool used by Abbas bin Firnas is currently known as the world's first parachute. Its success did not make Firnas complacent. After this experiment, Firnas carried out a series of concept development and research and combined the theory of natural phenomena that have often been considered. In 875, Firnas had turned 65 years old, but his enthusiasm never subsided. Ibn Firnas has made and designed a flying machine that aims to transport humans.
