Mowlana Hazar Imam, in his convocation address to the American University of Cairo on June 15th 2006, said:

"Astronomy, the so-called “Science of the Universe” was a field of particular distinction in Islamic civilization-in sharp contrast to the weakness of Islamic countries in the field of Space research today. In this field, as in others, intellectual leadership is never a static condition, but something which is always shifting and always dynamic."
