The article presents information on various Islamic inventions and technological innovations. It informs that early Muslim scientists made significant advances in distillation, a process they refined to create medicines, perfumes, and essential oils. In the 11th century, an astronomer known as Azarchel created an instrument called universal astrolabes which allowed Muslims to determine time and direction from the constellations.
