A fusion of creativity and history is what's on display at the most recent exhibition at the House of Wisdom in Sharjah, showcasing the contributions made by Arab and Muslim academics to science. "Takwin: Sciences and Creativity," which is on display until March 6, provides a thorough overview of the rich scientific past that has influenced contemporary thought, especially in the areas of engineering, astronomy, medicine, mathematics, and zoology.

Texts penned by intellectuals and scholars from throughout the globe hundreds of years ago were gathered. By the time their names were widely associated with their respective fields of study, their ideas had evolved into concepts and were employed to formulate new theories.

In the fields of philosophy and medicine, the writings of trailblazing individuals like Ibn Sina and Abu Bakr al-Razi were highly esteemed. Ibn al-Haytham, Al-Jazari, and Thabit Ibn Qurra were among the well-known figures in the engineering profession.

Al-Jahiz and Al-Damiri made significant contributions to zoology, and their field of study greatly advanced human understanding.
