However, the underlying central concept in the relationship between time and society was the measurement of time. The issue of time and space is one that has been discussed throughout history in the fields of faith, philosophy, and science, and has different viewpoints regarding understanding the universe. Many measurement methods have been developed to capture time.

Thought to have been invented by Hipparchus in the 2nd century, the astrolabe is an astronomy and navigation tool used to determine the position of celestial bodies at any time of year and at any latitude. It is known that, as a result of the importance given by the Abbasid caliphs to science and culture, various works about the astrolabe were written at the great university in Harran in the ninth century. It spread to Europe from Arab-dominated Spain in the 10th century and its use became widespread. The astrolabe is used to solve time-related problems, especially by allowing the observation of stars at night and the tracking of the movements of the Sun during the day. Spherical Astrolabe is a type of astrolabe that displays the earth and the celestial sphere in volumetric form. One of the Muslim scholars of this type of astrolabe, Câbir b. It is accepted that it was invented by Sinan el-Harrani. All of the relief patterns on the Globe Astrolabe are hand-decorated using 24 carat gold.
