Book excerpt: Islam’s brilliant contributions to science, art, and culture, are a timeless and precious heritage, ‎which should be historically preserved for future generations. The great achievements of Muslim ‎scholars are rarely if at all acknowledged in formal education, and today their identity, origins and ‎impact remain largely obscure. This collection of papers aims to give readers a brief introduction to ‎the intellectual history of Muslims and the contributions that eminent Muslim scholars have made in ‎certain specific fields of knowledge including basic and applied physical and biological sciences, ‎medicine, legal and political theories and practices, economic and financial concepts, models, and ‎institutions, etc. ‎ The preservation of civilization necessitates a better understanding, sharing, and recognition of our ‎common human heritage. Given today’s widespread negative stereotyping and falsely generated ‎misunderstanding of Islam and Muslims, the publication of these papers on “Muslim Contributions ‎to World Civilization” is vital to help repair the wrong that is being perpetrated and restore the ‎historical truth, which is being distorted.‎
