Muslims of the early period of the Islamic era were pioneers in medicine, chemistry, physics, navigation, arts, poetry, philosophy, mathematics, algebra, logarithms, calculus, astronomy, and social sciences. There are now 10,000 words in English whose roots are from the Arabic language. Arabic was the language of science and technology, and now it is one of the six major languages of the U.N.

Islamic scientific genius introduced the Arabic numerals and the zero without which modern science could not have been developed. The sciences of Muslims were translated into Latin and passed on to the West. The scientific books of Muslims were used as texts in various European academic institutions up to the seventeenth century of the Common Era. Cities of world enlightenment were Cordova, Timbuktu, Seville, Fez, Tunis, Cairo, Damascus, Baghdad, Makkah, Madinah, and others. The oldest academic universities in the world are Al-Azhar (Cairo), Al-Qairawan (Tunisia), and Al-Qarawiyin (Morocco).

Muslims have already established community centers, organizations, schools, and places of worship in Europe and North America. They live in peace and harmony among themselves and among other groups of people in the society. The rate of crime among Muslims is very minimal. Muslims in North America and Europe are highly educated and have added to the success of scientific and technological fields. They have also added to the beauty of these societies and are trying to improve the status and the systems therein.
