Al Jazari’s Castle Clock during daylight hours, an observer would see the sun’s disc on the eastern horizon rise. Al Jazari also developed the mindboggling 800-year-old Elephant clock in the 13th century.

Al Qarawiyyin Clock It was created in 1286-87, by Ibn Al Habbak Al Tilimsani, and was later restored in 1346-48 by Abu Abdallah Al ‘Arabi, who fitted it with an Astrolabe rete for star tracking. Truly the 13th century filled its eons with discovery after discovery, as it also saw the development of The Umayyad clock by Ridhwan Al Saati.

Astronomical Clock Before the 16th century, clocks were considered too inaccurate for measuring celestial movements. Where Ptolemy failed to succeed, Taqī Al Dīn built an astronomical clock that measured time with great regularity, executing the wish of the Sultan. His clock held the unique facet, indicating prayer times and the first day of Gregorian months using dials. Many of his clock’s intricacies are present in today’s clocks.
Sometime before the ingenuities of our remarkable pioneers mentioned above, in the year 807, Emperor Charlemagne was sent a brass clock by the Caliph Harun Al Rashid.
Islamic history: a distant golden memory, our noble ancestors shone and were unquestionably the leading contributors to the so called well-developed society that we now live in. We are indebted to them for their great efforts, and should recognize their unrivalled success.
