In this study aimed at contributing to the events held within the framework of 2019 Prof. Dr. Fuat Sezgin Year, he aimed at understanding the importance of science history and how the place of the Islamic world in science history was perceived through Fuat Sezgin. Because today our view of science is either completely western or in the form of the pursuit of the rebirth of the magnificent magia by making nostalgic transitions to the past. In these two cases, it is nothing but a reflection of the re-archaic birth of the imitation and the mazium. The history of science, though the history of universal successes, places the society in which it arises with the material cultural objects it carries, in the center of civilization. Every success is named by the name of the civilization that gave birth to it and represents the historical period in which it was born. In this context, the scientific history studies are important, but the scientific perception is more important. The events under the "Fuat Sezgin Year" are only meetings, conferences, etc. And if he does, he will save the day. But the main thing to be noticed is whether Muslims today, as the heirs of civilizations that contribute to the history of science, as Sezgin also emphasized in many speeches and private conversations, have the idea of a civilization project that will do something not only for themselves, but for the benefit of all humanity. Therefore, we aim to understand through Fuat Sezgin how the place of the Islamic world in science history is perceived. As we do this, we believe that keeping light from the past to the present will be the key to the right understanding of the present, moving with the consciousness that there will be no future for non-traditional societies.

In this study which was conducted to contribute to the activities organized within the scope of “2019 Prof. Dr. Fuat Sezgin Year”, it is aimed to both the importance of the history of science and how the Islamic world perceived in the history of science through Fuat Sezgin because today our view to the science is either completely originating from West or a pursuit of the rebirth of magnificent past by making nostalgic transition to the past. In both cases, this is nothing but a reflection of an archaic rebirth of past and an imitation.  Although the history of science is the history of universal achievements, it puts the society in which it emerges in the center of civilization thanks to the elements of its material culture. Every success is named after the civilization in which it arises from and represents the historical period it arised. In this context, the perception of science is more important than the study of the history of science. If activities organized in the scope of “Prof. Dr. Fuat Sezgin Year” are limited to activities like meetings and conferences, they just save the day. However, what needs to be taken into consideration, as Sezgin emphasized in many interviews and private conversations, is whether Muslims, as inheritor of the civilizations that contributed to the history of science, still have the idea of a civilization Project that is for the benefit of not only themselves but also whole humanity. Therefore, we aim to understand how the Islamic world perceived through Fuat Sezgin in the history of science. While doing this, by acting with the awareness that societies without tradition have no future, we think that shedding light from the past to the present is the key to understanding the present correctly.
