Soo ifbixii Islaamka ee qarnigii 7aad iyo aasaasiddii imbraadoriyaddii Islaamka ayaa soo shaacbixisey muddo lix qarni ah hormur ku socda xawli aan hore loo arag, oo taabanaya dhinacyo badan oo aqoonta ah. Kolkii ay Yurub ku jirtey wixi loo yaqaannay xilligii mugdiga, ayaa aasaaska xaddaaradda adduunku ka dhismaysay xarumo cilmiga ee adduunka muslimka ah, sida Baqdaad, Dimishiq, Qaahira, Kordova, Baleermo iyo kuwa kale.

Guuliihii aqoonta iyo cilmibaadhista ee culuunta kala duwan, sida xisaabta, falagga, fiisikada kimikada, caafimaadka iyo in ka badan oo ah cilmiyada dabeecada, ayaa midhodhal noqday. Taasi waa sheekada werinaysa casrigii dahabiga ahaa ee ilbaxnimada Islaamka ee sida qotoda dheer u beddeshay wejigii adduunka.

Intaas iyo in kabadanba waa hubaal inaad waxbadan korodhsan doonto hooska daawo mawduucaasi oo dhamaystiran

The evening was also an opportunity for researchers of all levels from across four continents to network and learn more about current research topics within the region. Within the Somali regions, a lack of dissemination and sharing of knowledge is often noted as a challenge within the research field. This evening was an opportunity for researchers to network and form relationships that would encourage communication amongst researchers and to establish a link with the Hargeysa Cultural Center, where research dissemination is encouraged and a platform for discussion is always available.
