There are views on the influence of Islam on science in Islamic civilization. Among the viewpoints that believe in influence, issues are raised, one of which is the extent of influence and the other is the type and quality of this influence in terms of uniformity and fluctuation. In the issue of the extent of influence, we have two viewpoints with maximum differences, one is reductionist and the other is expansionist; however, despite the serious difference in the issue of scope, these two viewpoints agree on the issue of the type of the effect. That is to say, both views have seen the level of influence as uniform, which can be called the "view of uniformity". The reductionists, with a uniform view, have always considered the role of Islam on the sciences of Islamic civilization as merely motivational and encouraging, and the developmentists, with a holistic view, have always considered the sciences realized in Islamic civilization as an essential part of the Islamic program. Based on the findings of this research, the influence of Islam as a comprehensive theoretical school in the sciences of Islamic civilization is uneven, and it can be accepted as an independent variable.
Keywords: Uniformity of the Sciences of Islamic Civilization, Fluctuating State of Science, History of Islamic Science, Influence of Islam on Science, Reductionists, Developmentists, Islamic Civilization.
