This study investigates the stages of the formation of Islamic scientific tradition (7-9th centuries) and the disciplinary of physical science (8-10th cent.) in the axis of the argument which is suggested to build into the tradition in the context of process and impetus. In the first chapter of the study, it is generally tackled the possibility of the discussion about the formation of Islamic scientific tradition (9th cent.), without be overlooked at the possibility of transitivity between the stages, which is Islamic worldview, scientific community, problems and formation stages. In the second chapter, it is examined what is the purpose of the physical (science) researchers which has become visible for the first time (8th cent.) and the nature of the physical design proposed by the al-Kalam scientific community leading these researches as well as the content of the idea of atomism that has become the central agenda of the physical science debates and a set of physical scientific concepts that consisted gradually in the process of the formation of tradition. The third chapter is limited to two basic fields that physical and optical which are sourced to the formation of physical science. In the first part of the third chapter, after describing the physical design proposed by the peripatetic philosopical-scientific community that arised form the activities of heritage-translation-reception, it is focused on the motion theory of Ibn Sina between the undergoing researches on how physical operaiton and structure can be handled and grounded. In the second part, the contributions of al-Haytham to optics and so much the more his theory of visual are examined.
