"Without Arabs and Muslims as translators and transmitters of Greek Philosophy, Europe would still swimming in Ignorance. This statement is not exaggeration or an advertisement for the Arabs and Muslims, but rather a historical fact, cannot be denied from neutral scholars in World history. Quotation attributed to Ibn Khaldun: To know how much he was talented, he says: "He who finds a new path is a pathfinder, even if the trail has to be found again by others; and he who walks far ahead of his contemporaries is a leader, even though centuries pass before he is recognized as such." (Muqaddimah.)
