The Opening Chapter of the Quran "In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. Show us the straight way, The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray."

"Unlike their Christian counterparts, Muslim thinkers saw no insurmountable contradiction between their faith and the laws governing the natural world.
So they embraced Aristotle and Plato, writers the Christian church considered blasphemous.
So this is the time when we begin to see scientists, bureaucrats, what have you going and seeking from whatever civilization that had any sciences before, be it the Greek, the Indian, the Persian, and so on.
It was the scholars of the House of Wisdom who developed the system of Arabic numerals, still in use.
It is they who translated and transformed the writings of the Greeks and made a gift of them to the modern Western world.
The Renaissance had its beginnings in Baghdad."
Quoted from 'Islam, Empire of Faith'
