[FILM] 1001 Inventions and the Library of Secrets - starring Sir Ben Kingsley (English Version) 

University of al-Qarawiyyin, The oldest and first university in the world was founded by a Muslim women named Fatima al-Fihri.

Al Jazari, Ibn Al Haytham, Ibn Firnas, Al Zahrawi, Al Astrolabi are some of many other scholars and scientists. Whatever racists and islamophobic can say today...these scholars' contributions are real, precious and won't be forgotten.

I'm a catholic american, I greatly respect the real golden age of innovations that have brought the technology we see today, and the muslim people that show light to the world! I'm so happy to find this video, I've been listening to Sami Yusufi's music till I found one he did for this film. I love every bit of it! History is never boring, I very much love this one.

And don't forget the genius Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, the inventor of the Algorithm, used today to make computer and mobile software !!

I respect my Muslim brothers from all parts of the earth and thank those who have done this wonderful work from saudi arabia

This clip is amazing. I love how it speaks the truth about Muslim people and how they did set out the stepping stones to inventions we take for granted today.

Those cities of Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo, Cardabo, Merv, Sheraz, Samarkund, Bokhara, Multan, Balkh, Basra and etc were the center of knowledge, education, scholars, culture and trade. People used to travel thousands of kilometers to visit these cities to equip themselves of knowledge.

@1001Inventions This video makes me proud to be a MUSLIM, while i always told them this, but they still mocked me in, I pray to God to unite Muslims once again to liberate the whole world from the era of injustice which we live right now. Thank you 1001Inventions so much, please keep it up bro. You will not believe how GLAD I am when i watch this video, I really could not prevent my tear falling. I AM PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM

@omarfathalla Sadly we can only fit in so many great scientists in the short time we have for the movie. There are hundreds, even thousands, who deserve recognition. We hope to include many more in future films.

I'm Egyptian Muslim Arabian I'm Really Proud :D

I'm Moroccan 🇲🇦 Amazigh ( Berber)♓ and proud of Islam and our berber grandfathers scientists Like Abbas Ibn Farnas , Ibn batouta, Ibn Rochd(Averroes) and Al beytari(first Botanist ) Etc..

Golden ages NOT dark ages

A brilliant video from a brilliant website!!!!!!! When we had our science fair a few months ago, I had to make a whole multimedia presentation on Muslim Heritage!!!! After that, my respect for Muslims increased so much!!! And this is all due to 1001 Inventions!!!!

I'm from lraq in Baghdad 🇮🇶❤🇮🇶❤

Proud to be muslim.

Glad you liked it. Yes, we do have a version in Arabic. Unfortunately, RU-vid doesn't let you post links to your other videos. But it's easy to find if you look through our uploaded videos. :)

You can find the book "1001 Inventions - The Enduring Legacy of Muslim Civilization" through any online or high street bookshop. It is published by National Geographic.

Dah.... Learned all this same stuff when going to school in the 1950s. I guess kids just don't learn the same history now in school.

just found this precious video. finally the real information about the golden civilitation revealed, so i can tell to my children about it that they never been told in their school. thx a lot btw

Finally, really knowledge is resurfacing about who the real beginners of the Age of Enlightenment were. :)

الحمد لله انا مسلم عربي لدينا حضارة قوية غنية بالعلم والعلماء في الدين والدنيا سوف ينصر الاسلام في الاخير

Oh god i have to watch this for an assignment (workshop) 😧😧😧 But I'm happy and proud that those great scientists are from my pure religion so happy that we lead the world to where it is even though it's rare to hear them confessing it

Thank you so much for this film.. to remind people of one of the most important times in history..that sadly many seemed to have forgot. a BIG THANKS TO SIR BEN KINGSLY

A few months, in our school, we had a science fair. The theme was Muslim Heritage!!!! Me and three other girls, together, made a whole multimedia project about Muslim Heritage!!!! I really wish this video was there when we made it!!!! It would have made making the project A LOT better!!!! That's basically because the websites we went on had too much information, making it harder to understand!!!! This video is much more informative!!!! Congrats to those who made it!!!! :)

I think the disclaimer is wrong. It should read: _This film is for all to see and must be shown publicly, broadcasted and reproduced as often as possible._

Much respect to the Islamic world.

I love they picked Sir Ben Kingsley for this...just perfect!

This is a wonderful story, so simplistic and true! I met the author this past weekend and he signed the book for me! How exciting! to learn the about the people behind the inventions. Celebration of Teaching and Learning Rocked!

The first university in the world that is still running by Guiness world Records is Al-Qarawiyyin university in Fès Morocco. A country in North Africa

My respects for all of the mentioned scientists (and the unnamed ones as well), especially for my countryman al-Jazari the Kurd.

Thank you sir Ben Kingsley and the team who made this video..

Ben Kingsley still is one of my absolute favourite actors:)

Wonderful !!!!!! What a great civilization 💐

@wwwMEXATcom Glad you like it. The name of the book is "1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World". It isn't available in PDF but you can buy it from our website 1001inventions. com.

Great video! I hope the sequel can talk about Abū ʿAbdallāh Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī. Hi contributions to mathematics were huge, although they probably can't make graphics as zippy as the inventions.

The largest city on earth in the year 1001... Country: Al-andalus(Spain and Portugal) City: Cordoba Population: 600,000-1.2million 250,000 house 3000 mosques 600 Schools/university 400 library 200 bathhouse.

Just wondering, why would some people dislike an interesting educational video like this? any idea?

اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم وبارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد

I have watched thiis in my school thank u everyone to spread this wonderful information

آآآه حتى العرب لم يدافعوا عن أنفسهم ... كم هذا العالم بحاجة للعقل المسلم

my lecturer used this video as an assignment . wish me luck

I am from Pakistan and intend to use this video as a teaching resource in my classroom. The video watermark says NOT FOR REPRODUCTION - copyright reserved. May I be given permission to use the video as a teaching resource for my students ? I will be highly obliged as it is a wonderful way of depicting the achievement of muslims and the connection of muslim inventions with the modern advancements.

Great Short Movie!!! Alot of people should know more about this information! I loved it. Knowledge is Power!! I give it 1001 thumbs up!!

@tharimaoo6 There are many theories as to why Abbas ibn Firnas isn't as well known as he should be. His achievements in many different disciplines is astounding. So he deserves to be as well known as any great inventor or scientist you could ever name. He wasn't an Arab though. He was a Berber whose ancestry is traced back to North Africa.

I wish that kinda things happens in my library!

i'm proud being from science city baghdad #we_will_back_again

دائما أي شئ له علاقه مع المسلمين يكون مُتخفي، لكن بعد الجد والاجتهاد ينكشف كل المستور، حكمة إلاهيه سبب التخفي هو ان الأعداء كثير يحاولوا ستر الحقائق بعد ان جائهم الحق

Brilliant! What a glourie ages the Dark ages were...

Thanks for producing this video, and which is showing people how Muslims were in the past with the true and real Islam. It is a really good message to the westerns who underestimate Muslims and don't respect them. God bless all Muslims and thanks again.

The greatest era in science without them you would see nothing nothing nothing!!!

Why is there a disclaimer in this video that says to not show this video to the public? This video NEEDS to be shown to the public! With all the lies and undue hatred being levied at Islam and Muslims by Israel, truths like this video MUST be known.

Proud to be a Muslim and Uzbek!

it would be grate to see this as a documentary series like bbc or discovery in a longer story about significant inventors of each era. we lack this kind of documentary that can teach as something.

Cant wait to work with this at the museum in Karlstad Sweden! :D Its so exciting!

Our precious scientist , our great islamic culture , invented the first idea of everything 👏🏻الحمدلله

I remember studying a book similar to this back in high school called "History of sciences at the arabs." time went by fast.

what ever you do there will be a haters, and when you hate someone think again,because you have haters too

I must have that book! :D

salam alykom this video gave me pride i lost long time ago a pride of being a Muslim. thank you Jmeel Foundation for such a Work

Wow, much more interesting then what I was expecting.

This would make a great movie. And it would be very educational. I'm ordering this book soon.

A good video that I advise everyone to watch, good for educational purposes and it has a clear idea and it’s easy to understand

Awesome!Professional work!Respect from Turkish Republic

I'm Frank speechless ....Something ultra sophistication, literary, cultural, English, attested to Islamic scientific deliveryEnglish educational movie to the children of the whole world that Islamic civilization is golden eras and not later or darkness era as it mentioned in historyImpress beyond reason , it shows the importance of Islamic civilization in our times, makes me pay tribute to the greatness of this mentality.

saw this video as part of our Discover Islam week exibition at university.... it was an amazing presentation and video...

The Best Civilization's Ever and i am Praoud To be A muslm islam is

I Really liked that Video Especially the Clock of Al-Jazari

gosh!! science means passion ..i understand it like that

Beautiful! ❤️

I am going to look for this book and read it.. thank you sharing this info, respect from Bangalore India 🙏🙏

Oh, I thought it was trailer and it would be full length of film someday.. I'm looking foward for a very long length of film (90 Minutes or more), since this short movie is AWESOME!!!

These short movie shows truths about the past and Muslims invented everything and the dark ages was only at Europe even the king of France or England couldn't even write his name

Masha Allah, a great video!! Jazzak Allah.

Historical periods are not like the marks on the plate of a clock. This means that a historical period not only has a conventional start and a conventional end, but also a specific area, *specific countries that it covers*. So..., "Dark Ages" concerns only Western Europe. The term is not accurate, anyway, but it has nothing to do with, say, China. There was surely a Chinese emperor around 600 BC, but we may be sure he wasn't a Medieval Chinese emperor!!, because he was Chinese, and Chinese are never Medieval!! Yes, the first centuries after the rise of Islam was a period of progress. Many scientific terms commemorate the Arab contributions to science: algebra, algorithm, zenith and nadir, Almagestra, and also alchemy. But the video seems to imply that there was the Dark Ages, and Islam. This is a mistake. There was also Byzantium, which is the later period of the Roman empire. Byzantium was the source from which the Greek heritage passed to the Arabs. But indeed the Arabs were able to present many new things of their own.

400 B.C.: Chinese philosopher Mozi, founder of Mohism, is the first in recorded history to mention the simple principles behind the concept of camera obscura. Mozi notices light entering through a pinhole into a dark room and records the image created by the light rays. He refers to this finding as a "collecting place" or a "locked treasure room." ~ taken from thesnugg.com/camera-obscura-history-timeline

Can't wait to watch this !

This was very useful I learned alot

i proud bare witness and make cry tear our golden history we do make pull west from dark abyss.

i watched this at school during islamic studies with the whole class.When the movie finished the whole class was like ohhhhhhhhhhh i wish there was a part 2 to this because its so interesting about 1001 inventions.i thought so too plz have something else similar but 2 to this.

Thank you for the video It's amaizing!

INSHA'ALLAH we will come back as we used to once we get our freedom! And those who pretend to be muslim to comment bad comments about arabs.. Please get a life .. nice try tho

Proud to be Arab 😎💪💥

Last night, I was at an interfaith Iftar at a local Masjid, and they showed this film, which none of us could hear because we were busy conversing in interfaith dialogue. RU-vid was also very slow, and they gave up on waiting for the video to load. I'm glad I could find it again. On one hand, Islam is currently in a similar situation to that of Judaism just before the second world war, but in the Middle East, it is currently in a similar situation to that of Christianity during what for Christianity, was the dark ages. Christianity rose above it's dark ages, and I'm sure Islam will too. I have met many Muslims who make me feel hopeful.

Human civilization is building an integrated monolithic stone matrix. Every stone some people put during the period of prosperity and the mind. Islamic civilization is the civilization of the mind in the dark ages. The mind moves among and throughout knowledge in all areasto create a lot of theories, we must respect the cultures of a people all over the earth. Thank you for the movie team Islamische Zivilisation ist die Zivilisation des Geistes in den dunklen Zeiten. 1001

Amazing!

Great film. The truth is better than the rubbish the media spews out.

Wow!! Masha Allah!!

GREAT video!!!

The Best move ever. ❤️💕

The nations should help each other in a different ways .

الحمد لله على نعمة الاسلام... اللهم أعز الاسلام والمسلمين...نحن أمة أعزنا الله بالاسلام...اتمنى من الله عز وجل أ أعيش الزمن الذي أرى فيه السلمون يعودون الى هذا الزمن ...يوقودون العالم كسالف عهدهم بلا تعصب ولا ارهاب ولا تشتت بالحب والسلام بتعاليم ديننا الحنيف

Wow! this is really interesting. i didn't know that many of the items from the dark ages were still used today.

We must learn

Amazing video wish muslims would realize how their history is beautiful and take it as a step to create another beautiful history of their own

Really cool :D
