AL Jazari Al jazari and Taqi-ul-Daddin, the founder of compas and elephant clock. –––––––– Are Among the few names about whom history channel and Wikipedia has also admitted! This is an open fact now that A thousand years ago when Europe was just a pile of dirt, (around the 12 th century AD) Muslims had reached the extremes of modern science. West only reinvented it! Now the Arab sheikhs have recreated these inventions only as MODELS, which are available in the museums of Dubai etc. e.g elephant clock is recreated. That is to say, re-emerged from many writings of Al jazari. And windmills were of very modern style and technique. Flush That is, the drainage system or toilet was invented and was most modern, still in use today.

Missiles called Ayyarr Tayyar were used in wars. Cannons and catapults are the inventions of Muslims. Even bullet proof vests and fire proof drssses and clothing and armors. By wearing it, Muslim armies used to overcome their opponents during wars. –––––––– From the discovery of many ancient submerged Muslim ships and their accessories, many secrets have come to light. Great inventions have appeared. –––––––– Time commitment for prayer and sunrise is a must for Muslims. He made many inventions such as keeping track of sunrise and sunset and calendars from month to month from moon, lunar and solar year and Eids. –––––––– A circular machine like a compass was also discovered. Which is in fact an example and ancient form of modern computer. It tells the time and position of the stars with great precision and accuracy. –––––––– All of these inventions not only show extremely sophisticated techniques but also from the aesthetic point of view, they are also perfect. And the sense of humor and aesthetic sense of Muslims is visible everywhere.

By practicing Islam, their wisdom and understanding, traveling back in centuries, had conquered and uncovered the cosmic secrets of time, future of the universes. With an open mind, the conquests of the stars and the earth, were the part of the Muslims history. –––––––– Badīʿ az-Zaman Abu l-ʿIzz ibn Ismāʿīl ibn ar-Razāz al-Jazarī, IPA: was a polymath: a scholar, inventor, mechanical engineer, artisan, artist and mathematician from the Artuqid Dynasty of Jazira in Mesopotamia.

 Books:

 The book of knowledge of ingenious mechanical devices ––––––––

 Al-Jazari is not only known as the “father of robotics” he also documented 50 mechanical inventions (along with construction drawings) and is considered to be the “father of modern-day engineering.” The inventions he mentions in his book include the crank mechanism, connecting rod, programmable automaton, humanoid etc 

He was an inventor and mechanical engineer who invented ingenious inventions in robotics and control them with the hydraulic and gear systems. In addition, the crankshaft, which is the most important mechanical device after the wheel, is one of the invention with high technological significance invented by Al-Jazari.

The elephant clock was a model of water clock invented by the medieval Islamic engineer Ismail al-Jazari (1136–1206). Its design was detailed in his book, The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices. –––––––– A miniature from al-Jazari’s Book of Knowledge depicts a water-powered flautist automation that he described as a playful “alarm clock,” designed to deliver a gentle tone to wake someone from a nap. Topkapi Sarayi Museum, Istanbul. –––––––– Medieval robots? They were just one of this Muslim inventor’s creations. –––––––– From water pumps to musical automatons, Ismail al-Jazari’s extraordinary machines ranged from practical to playful, delighting farmers and kings alike. –––––––– Fountains that could be programmed to switch on and off. A model of an Indian mahout (driver) who struck the half hour on his elephant’s head. Automatons in the form of servants that could offer guests a towel. –––––––– These are just some of the marvelous inventions of the 12 th -century Muslim inventor Ismail al-Jazari, who laid the groundwork for modern engineering, hydraulics, and even robotics. While some of his lavish and colorful creations were made as novelty playthings for the very wealthy, al-Jazari also made practical machines that helped normal people, including water-drawing devices that were used by farmers for centuries.

Passion for invention Badi al-Zaman Abu al-Izz Ismail ibn al-Razzaz al-Jazari was born in 1136 in Diyarbakır in what is today central-southern Turkey. The son of a humble craftsman, he was born in a time of political turmoil, a result of local power struggles as well as the effects of the Crusades. –––––––– Al-Jazari served as an engineer in the service of the regional rulers, the Artuqids. This dynasty had once expanded its empire into Syria. In the course of al-Jazari’s lifetime, however, Artuqid power came under the sway of the more powerful neighboring Zangid dynasty, and later still by the successors of the Muslim hero, Saladin. (Here’s why the “Assassins” were sent to kill Saladin.) –––––––– Despite the upheaval of the Crusades, and the turbulent relations between different Muslim powers, life for the brilliant engineer was peacefully spent serving several Artuqid kings, for whom he designed more than a hundred ingenious devices. Unlike other practical inventors of the period, who left little record of their work, al-Jazari had a passion for documenting his work and explaining how he built his incredible machines.

In 1206, drawing on a quarter of a century of prodigious output, he gave the world a catalog of his “matchless machines,” which is known today as The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices. –––––––– Al-Jazari included meticulous diagrams and colorful illustrations to show how all the pieces fit together. Several incomplete copies of his work have survived, including one held by the Topkapi Sarayi Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, prized for its artistic detail and beauty.

Intellectual inheritance The Book of Knowledge is the only source of biographical information that exists on al-Jazari. The text exalts him as Badi al-Zaman (unique and unrivaled) and al-Shaykh (learned and worthy), but it also acknowledges the debt he owed to “ancient scholars and wise men.”
