Jābir "father of chemistry", introduced experimentation, invented the alembic still and retort, many chemical processes such as filtration, and many chemical substances such as distilled alcohol. He also established the perfumery industry.
Jabir clearly recognized and proclaimed the importance of experimentation:
The first essential in chemistry is,perform practical work and conduct experiments, for he who performs not practical work nor makes experiments will never attain to the least degree of mastery.
An early experimental scientific method for chemistry began emerging among early Muslim chemists.
The experimental method; apparatus such as the alembic, still, and retort; and chemical processes such as liquefaction, purification, oxidization and evaporation.
Purification by crystallization.Filtration
Pure distillation,Impure distillation methods were known to the Babylonians, Greeks and Egyptians since ancient times, but Jābir was the first to introduce distillation apparatus and techniques which were able to fully purify chemical substances.
Produced many chemical substances.
