Summary
The Arabs have been bringing knowledge of the ancient world to Europe since the 8th century. In the fields of medicine, mathematics or philosophy, their scholars were far beyond their time and still affect our world today. For a long time, the Arabs were estranged, not united by one nation or leader. They had little in common beyond a shared language. This didn’t change until Mohammed ended polytheism, founding a new religion and uniting all of the Arabic tribes in their faith in one God: Allah.
