Muslims' maths mastery
"Quasicrystalline patterns comprise a set of interlocking units whose pattern never repeats, even when extended infinitely in all directions, and possess perfect 10-sided symmetry."
If case you didn't read the saturday papers, Feb 24th, 2007, new revelations found that Islamic architecture indicate their designers achieved a mathematical breakthrough 500 years earlier than Western scholars.
By the 15th century, decorative tile patterns on these masterpieces of Islamic architecture had reached such complexity that a small number boasted what seem to be "quasicrystalline" designs.
- Harvard University, Mr Peter Lau & Princeton University, Professor Paul Steinhardt wrote in the journal Science
During this time, Europe was mired in the Dark Ages. Whilst Islam culture flourisehd in mathematics, medicine, engineering, ceramics, art, textiles, architecture and other areas.
Thought tis is an interesting piece of information to share... :)

Yup read that in the papers. This only enhances the further proof that the religion holds a lot of secrets in relation to the mysteries of life. One needs only to submit with an open heart and seek. InsyaAllah we will see it clearly in the end.
there's many more of other facts and revelation discovered by islam, the westerners are just in denial... watz unusual abt dat. Astrology, tarots, man-made machines, medicines and many more... and the list goes on.
it's not the facts and revelations discovered by islam. nor is it the intelligence and their humbling character that amazed... what's amazing is how egotestical,conceited, ignorant some culture can be.
let this be a revelation for them :)
Not only it is amazing .. it's shocking too. Worked with them and dealt with some of them. Especially wen i was in saudi. They can't handle the truth that's laid before them, everythg hv to be presented thru statistic, scientifically proven n logic. Interesting ... hmmm.
Insya Allah. Ameen
