go research.
Muslim scholars, between the 10th and 14th centuries, were the prime movers behind the development of the scientific method.
They were the first to use experiment and observation as the basis of science, and many historians regard science as starting during this period.

Amongst the array of great scholars, al-Haytham is regarded as the architect of the scientific method. His scientific method involved the following stages:

Observation of the natural world
Stating a definite problem
Formulating a robust hypothesis
Test the hypothesis through experimentation
Assess and analyze the results
Interpret the data and draw conclusions
Publish the findings
These steps are very similar to the modern scientific method and they became the basis of Western science during the Renaissance.

Al-Haytham even insisted upon repeatability and the replication of results, and other scholars added ideas such as peer review and made great leaps in understanding the natural world.
