Al-Kindi, Ibnu Sina, Islamic Civilization, Scientific Contribution, Golden Age of IslamAbstract
This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the roles and contributions of two prominent Muslim scholars, Al-Kindi and Ibnu Sina, in the development of science during the Islamic Golden Age. Using a qualitative descriptive-comparative method, data were collected through literature review from credible sources such as books, scientific articles, and journals. The results show that Al-Kindi played a major role in introducing Greek philosophy and science systematically into the Islamic world, while Ibnu Sina brought that intellectual tradition to a more advanced level, particularly in the fields of medicine and philosophy. Their works not only strengthened scientific foundations in the Islamic civilization but also significantly influenced the development of science, medicine, and scholastic philosophy in Europe. This study highlights that Islamic civilization, since its early development, has emphasized the importance of universal knowledge acquisition, regardless of its origin, and has become a bridge connecting Eastern and Western intellectual traditions.
