How to Educate Harun Ar-Rashid son

Under the leadership of Harun Ar-Rashid (786-809 AD), the fifth Caliph Abbasyiyah Dynasty, Muslims had a golden period. The entire Muslim translators, Jews and Christians gather in Baghdad to translate the science texts from foreign languages ​​into Arabic. 

Study centers promoted by the government while the scholars and intellectuals diligently writing their works. Learning objectives and Baghdad became the heartbeat of world civilization. In this era of science and scientists is greatly appreciated getting special treatment by society and even by the Abbasid Caliph himself. 


Caliph and the Vizier hand over their children to Islamic scholars and scientists to be sharpened and moral sense. In the presence of the clergy and imuwan Muslim, there is no special treatment for children of state officials. Instead, the officials' children are required to show a high respect for their teachers as evidence of their appreciation of science pengetehuan. 


Once when Harun Ar-Rashid sends his son to Imam al-Asma `i to learn science and morality. Then one day Harun Ar-Rashid saw her pour water into his teacher's legs for ablution ', while the teacher washed and clean up his own feet. 


Seeing this, Harun Ar-Rashid was not happy. Then he said to the Imam ashma `i:" I sent my son to you to teach science and morality. Why did you not tell him to throw water with one hand and wash and clean your feet with his other hand? " 


Thus the prevailing tradition in the Islamic world at that time. A period that has managed to deliver the Muslims managed to reach the peak of his progress and donate treasures for the world community of science. 


In this same period the majority of classical Islamic texts in various fields of science are written, with respect to both science and religion disciplinary sciences are related to science and technology.
