Chemistry is considered an Islamic science by all means, as the word chemistry had not even been invented in any language or civilization before the Islamic civilization; neither the ancient Egyptian civilization nor the Greek civilization. In European languages, the word ‘chemistry’ is written as ‘Alchemie.’ It is a well-known fact that every Latin word that starts with ‘Al-’ has an Arabic origin. An example of that would be “alcohol,” “algebra”...etc.

Good post, I knew about algebra, but didn't realize that alcohol is really an Arabic word as well.
