Modern science today still sees a lot of the major contributions that were done by Islamic scientists of the golden age. During this era, production of products such as soda, nitre, alum, and other well known salts began. The use of chemistry to reach these products was used highly in the advancement of the textiles at the time. His name gave route to what we call arithmetic today because of his impact. He also wrote three textbooks on his understanding of surgery. Of the three books published, "Manual of Medial Practitioners." is the most popular due to the in depth catalog of 278 instruments used in surgery. In the work done by Arabic astronomer Ptolemy, many names of the stars he references we still today including Rigel and Vega. This is a common trend due to the accuracy of their studies. Testing the accuracy of the astronomical tables known as Zijes was a main purpose for the analyzing and creating of planetary, solar, and lunar models. Nasir Al-Din al-Tusi and his team worked at the Maragheh observatory in the 13th century. He was born in Tus in the year 1201 A.D. Construction lasted a total of three years. Due to recent discoveries and unearthing of the foundation of the observatory they have found that its construction has helped set the basis for other known observatories. Ulugh-Bey used its extravagant size and such practical use that he established an observatory at Samarqand in the 14th century with similar scaling. The Ulugh- Bey observatory was in turn used as the blue print for more present day European observatories as well. Under Nasir Al-Din al-Tusi, there was an expansion of instruments used in the observatory. It is said that under his direction the art of creating instruments reached its peak. The instruments were formed in such a shape, that they lead the competition with their European competitors. He also helped with the accuracy of astronomy readings with his use of mathematics. Along with it he was able to discover may new stars and help composed and organize new star catalogues with this information. Overall, precision seemed to be a major focus due to the fact that they were able to use trigonometry and calculus when doing his research.

He disagreed with the fact that Ptolemy stuck with the overall agreed on idea at the time in the astrology world that the earth was the center of the universe. He also was not a fan with the form that Ptolemy decided to measure the motion of planets such as Venus because of his flawed artificial machinery. This is what lead him to the Tusi-couple. Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad al-Wābkanaw was born in 1254 A.D. and died in 1320 A.D. The accuracy to true modern tables may be due to his correction in measurements and that his process included analyzing the times of lunar eclipses and new moons during a time frame from 1270-1320 and comparing them.

He has come to be known as the only Islamic astronomer that left some sort of explanation of how he got to the lunar parameters and data that he fond through his observations to be able to reach his final results. It showed his determination through all the obstacles.
