Notes
Science occupies the broadest field in the formation of peoples’ civilizations and the advancement of their thought, and there is no doubt that it was the most powerful weapon in Medina, so much so that we can almost be certain that the Islamic City’s contribution to the Arab-Islamic civilization did not stop at the legal aspects only, but rather it extended to various sciences. And other knowledge. The scientific life in the city in the Ottoman Empire is a life full of bright pages filled with achievements that arouse in the Muslim soul a feeling of pride and pride for what the ancestors wrote with letters of light in the book of world history. The books published in the tenth century AH numbered in the tens of thousands, and we consider that some scholars are known to have written hundreds of books, such as Al-Sakhawi 902 AH/1496 AD and Imam Al-Suyuti 911 AH/1506 AD, and many of the venerable scholars are close to them in the number of books. The truth is that the scientific and intellectual prosperity that the city witnessed during the era of the Ottoman Empire was not born out of nowhere. It was the fruit of a seed that was planted before this era. It is known that intellectual life is nothing but a chain of multiple links, and each link depends on the one that came before it and establishes the next one.
