Abstract:

Egypt, which has a great cultural accumulation, Hz. Omar the reign of Amr b. by al-As M.S. It was conquered in 642. The Library of Alexandria, which is one of the most important indicators of Egypt's historical accumulation and was built by the Ptolemies, has had important doubts with its fate and information that has survived to the present day. Because, considering that the books it contains could harm the religion of Islam, the library in question was built by Amr b. It is rumored that he was burned by al-As. This information has been tried to be expressed by local and foreign researchers on the thesis that Muslims are against science and science in general. However, it has emerged in many platforms that this situation is considered as an ideological approach rather than a historical knowledge by Western researchers. As a matter of fact, the destruction of the Library of Alexandria is accepted by the scientific world as a result of the extensive discussions in the sources today, where it was not carried out by the Muslims and even exposed to plundering processes many times before. In the end, the event that the Library of Alexandria was burned by Muslims does not have a historical counterpart, but on the other hand, the contribution of the Muslim world to science and science and the value of the scientists it has trained are now accepted and appreciated by all relevant circles.
