We ( Muslim Scientists) always contributed to the civilization!!

Assalaamu alaikum,
Who says Islam and Muslims did not contribute to the civilization!!
We just need to ask ourselves the following two questions however…
 
1)     What went wrong that stopped us from achieving the same success now?
2)     How can we achieve the same glory again? (the answer to the first question will give us 50% of the clues to this question.)
 
Read on…
 
A century-wise list of renowned Muslim scientists during Medieval Islamic Civilization. Latinized names, where applicable, are given in brackets. A very impressive and fascinating fact is that during the Islamic Golden era, a large number of Polymaths (a person whose expertise fills a significant number of subject areas) emerged. For example, Ibn Sina (latinized as Avicenna) made major contributions in medicine, Astronomy, Chemistry, Geology, physics, Philosophy, Theology, Engineering and Poetry!
 
According to the famous Historian of Science, George Sarton (regarded as 'Father of History of Science') in his well-recognized book the 'Introduction to the History of Science' he writes…:
 
"It will suffice here to evoke a few glorious names without contemporary equivalents in the West: Jabir ibn Haiyan, al-Kindi, al-Khwarizmi, al-Fargani, al-Razi, Thabit ibn Qurra, al-Battani, Hunain ibn Ishaq, al-Farabi, Ibrahim ibn Sinan, al-Masudi, al-Tabari, Abul Wafa, 'Ali ibn Abbas, Abul Qasim, Ibn al-Jazzar, al-Biruni, Ibn Sina, Ibn Yunus, al-Kashi, Ibn al-Haitham, 'Ali Ibn 'Isa al-Ghazali, al-zarqab, Omar Khayyam. A magnificent array of names which it would not be difficult to extend. If anyone tells you that the Middle Ages were scientifically sterile, just quote these men to him, all of whom flourished within a short period, 750 to 1100 A.D."
