[Dhu'l-Qarnayn said:] "Bring me ingots of iron!" Then, when
he had made it level between the two high mountain-sides,
he said: "Blow!" and when he had made it a red hot fire, he
said: "Bring me molten copper to pour over it." (Qur'an, 18:96)
This information indicates that Dhu'l-Qarnayn used reinforced
concrete technology. Iron, one of the strongest materials used in con-
struction, is essential for increasing the strength of such architectural
works as buildings, bridges, and dams. It appears from this verse
that he laid the iron end to end and made a strong reinforced con-
crete structure by pouring mortar over it. (God knows the truth.)
Inscriptions from ancient Central American civilizations refer
to a tall, bearded person arriving wearing white robes. They also re-
port that within a short space of time, belief in a single deity spread
and a sudden leap forward in art and science occurred.
Many prophets, such as Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron (peace
be upon them all) were sent to ancient Egypt. These messengers and
the people who believed in them may have had an important influ-
ence on the rapid artistic and scientific progress made by Egypt at
various times.
Muslim scientists following the Qur'an and the Sunnah of our

Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) made important
discoveries in astronomy, mathematics, geometry, medicine, and
other sciences. These made major change and significant progress
possible in science and social life. Some of these Muslim scientists
and their work are as follows:
Abd al-Latif al-Baghdadi is known for his work on anatomy.
He rectified previous errors concerning many of the body's bones,
such as the lower jaw and the breastbone. His Al-Ifada wa al-I'tibar
was set out in 1788 and translated into Latin, German, and French.
