First of all, the rise of Islamic science should be attributed to its inherent thirst for knowledge, and the internal demands by means of building external knowledge platform, which promoted Islamic science to glory. Secondly, translation movement of the Islamic civilization which combined reason with realism, made a good preparation for the research of the traditional mathematics and the experiment research of modern science. Finally, the medieval Islamic science began to discover the world and people, which became the important premise of the renaissance. Therefore, the Islamic science prepared an important channel for input and output of modern scientific knowledge, and became the hub and bridge thought ancient and modern science. Although in the fifteenth Century Islamic science declined gradually, it did provide the necessary soil for the growth of the tree of modern science. The golden age of Arabic Islamic culture came in theAbbsid Dynasty (750A.D.- 1258A.D.), when the capital city Baghdad was a flourishing international city and an academic city blending cultures from all over the world. It was a place that gathered diversified cultural models and religious thoughts. When the Arabic culture evolved, which used the Arabic as the major language, it absorbed the essences of many other cultures that greatly enriched the connotations of Arabic Islamic culture, stimulated the wisdom of the Arabic people and laid a foundation for the Abbsid Empire to create the wonderful cultural achievements in its latter part that had far-reaching influence. The medieval Islamic world, by absorbing and merging the other cultures and thanks to the strong financial support given by a few generations of caliphs to scientific researches for the sake of their own development, the Islamic science possessed the necessary elements for prosperity. Besides, the brilliant achievements made by Islamic civilization in the medieval age also helped lay a solid foundation for the modern scientific development. The thesis tries to identify the inherent correlations between the medieval Islamic thought of science and the modern thought of science.
