“The Rise and Fall of Muslim Civilization: Hope for the Future.”
In his latest book, “The Rise and Fall of Muslim Civilization: Hope for the Future,” Dr. Basheer Ahmed offers fresh insight and perspective on Muslim history and contributions of innovative developments in Science, Technology, and Mathematics (STEM) over a period of eight centuries.
Many Muslims may be wondering why did the dominance of Muslim scientists in every field of knowledge for almost eight centuries (7th-15th) suddenly end in decline? Why are most Muslim nations now educationally backward, behind in industrial and scientific development, and poor? What went wrong?
From the 12th century, universities in the Islamic world gradually stopped teaching science and philosophy, and all scientific laboratories and observatories were closed or destroyed. From the 15th century onward, Muslims have done very little scientific work or published any book on any scientific subject. Within the pages of this book, Dr. Ahmed investigates the questions.
The book is more than a treatise; it is an anthology of Islamic sciences. It introduces the reader to the intellectual giants of the classical Islamic era and provides a roadmap of how learning flourished and then gradually declined.
Rich in historical background, the reader discovers the details of the rise and fall of the great Muslim civilization during the medieval years, but this book contains more than the history and development of STEM. It provides innovative solutions to bring about hope for days ahead for the youth of the world to step back into identifying problems and developing solutions to impact some of the greatest issues and challenges facing the world today.
Dr. Ahmed’s insightful treatment of the subject is reinforced by Prof. Nazeer Ahmed’s forward and selected essays from eminent scientists including Professors Parvez Hoodbhoy, Samir Iqbal, Aziz Budri, Irum Rahman, Bashoo Nasiruddin, Mirza Faizan and Mirza Rizwan. Written in a clear, lucid style, it is a book for students, teachers, scholars as well as the general public. The book motivates, inspires, and mentors today’s youth to become scientists and innovators and follow in the footsteps of their forefathers.

Press Release “Why Americans Obsessed with Guns”
by Basheer Ahmed, MD.
Headline
Dr. Basheer Ahmed’s Critical Look at American Gun Culture Exhibited at the 2023 L.A. Times Festival of Books
Subheading
The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books featured publications that did not hesitate to give hot takes on even hotter button issues. Dr. Basheer Ahmed is a professional psychiatrist who has long worked closely with the victims of American gun violence. This has prompted him to publish his own book on the subject, exploring what makes American culture so morbidly unique in its obsession, much to the discomfort of the wider world.
BODY
At the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2023, dozens of exhibits featured new publications on the most controversial subjects.
For professional psychiatrist Dr. Basheer Ahmed, that subject is gun violence.
His book, Why Are Americans Obsessed with Guns and Willing To Pay A High Price for Them?, is the result of his many years personally working with traumatized victims of gun violence and trying to understand the heart of the matter. With the help of Readers Magnet, a self-publishing and book marketing company, he arranged for the book’s exhibit spot at the L.A. Times Festival of Books in the hopes of raising awareness of this ever-present problem.
In the last two decades, the problem of school shootings appears to be a social affliction that is uniquely American. In Why Are Americans Obsessed with Guns and Willing To Pay A High Price for Them?, Dr. Ahmed cites a large body of historical and statistical evidence that points to an unhealthy gun culture enabling tragedies like Columbine, Sandy Hook, and more.
This same culture is also backed by powerful political actors and their lobbyists, leading Ahmed to conclude that this culture is truly of epidemic proportions.
Of course, the book is not without its recommendations and solutions. Dr. Ahmed joins the voices of many gun safety advocates who want to expand public education efforts against America’s entrenched gun ownership culture. Asides from his work as a psychiatrist, Dr. Ahmed is also a prominent social activist who has campaigned against the prevalent violence towards minorities in the United States.
Why Are Americans Obsessed with Guns and Willing To Pay A High Price for Them? is available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For more information on M. Basheer Ahmed M.D. and his advocacy work, visit his website at https://www.basheerahmed.com/.

Author Bio
Dr Basheer Ahmed is a psychiatrist and a social activist. He enjoyed a long career as a professor, public speaker, and author of books and articles.
After retiring from private practice, Dr. Ahmed has devoted his time to social service activities and interfaith understanding. He founded three organizations: the Muslim Community Center for Human Services, providing health and social services to indigent residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the Institute of Quranic Knowledge, and Intra-faith relations (IQRA for peace), an organization promoting intra-faith sectarian harmony, and the Institute of Medieval and Post-Medieval Studies (IMPMS), disseminating information about Muslim contributions to world civilization and inspiring young students to become scientists.
As a psychiatrist, he has seen firsthand the ghastly toll gun violence has taken physically and emotionally on patients as well as on the communities, which prompted him to write this book.
QUOTE
“Dr. Ahmed’s stinging assessment should be a wakeup call for anyone with a conscience to demand political change on this issue.” – Professor Rick Halperin, Director, Southern Methodist University Human Rights program

MY STORY AS A MUSLIM IMMIGRANT
IN AMERICA
by BASHEER AHMED
Basheer Ahmed’s remarkable life is rooted in fertile soil that cultivated a passion for learning and a desire to give back to the world. But, this man wasn’t created all at once. Ahmed’s amazing story spans many decades, continents, cultures, and languages, and serves as a testament to the interconnectedness of all people.
Inspired by his mother’s own academic pursuits, Ahmed launched an epic journey for his education. He left India for Pakistan, then the United Kingdom and the United States, where he immigrated to in 1968 to practice psychiatry. Along the way, he started a family and devoted himself to teaching and service as means of reinvesting the spiritual riches life had bestowed upon him.
With candor and warmth, Ahmed shares his story in the hope that future generations may also find fertile soil, value education and spirituality, and grow up in a world full of love and acceptance.
