Indeed from the 7th Century until the 15th Century Muslims were the torchbearers of human civilisation. After the fall of the Roman Empire Europe fell into the Dark Ages but Muslim scholars succeeded in preserving the classical wisdom of Ancient Greece and Rome. Due to their thirst for knowledge Muslims then went on to make spectacular advances in a wide spectrum of subjects including mathematics astronomy geography medicine physics chemistry biology botany and veterinary science. After nearly 900 years of intellectual leadership however internal bickering and complacency saw the influence of Muslims stagnate and then decline. It would nevertheless be true to say that advances made by Muslim scholars from such seats of learning as Baghdad Muslim Spain and Cairo laid the foundations for Europes Renaissance [intellectual re-awakening] in the Middle Ages. This in turn fuelled the Industrial Revolution that has eventually given rise to the scientific and technical achievements of today.
