Abstract

This research paper aims to show that Muslims developed the experimental method and did not take it from Greece because the system of knowledge in Greece did not allow the emergence of the experimental method, Muslims were aware of the importance of creating a new method because of the inability of Aristotelian logic as a method of research in the physical nature, They Create the experimental method as a way to explore nature and build perceptions by dealing with it, The experimentation with the Muslims was not just individual isolated attempts, But Muslims were aware of the epistemological perspective on the Experimental Inductive Method and were aware of its origins and rules, We will provide examples showing that Muslims were aware of the importance
of the founding theory of the science and the epistemological function that can be performed by this theory in the development of science, there where extensive discussions on several issues related to induction, and interest in the logical evaluation of the Experimental induction in terms of its principles and foundations, and its tools and objectives.
