Persons that professed the Islamic faith made many Scientific, Mathematical, Astronomical and Architectural advances, especially in Southern Europe and Northern Africa, during the Middle Ages. They didn't suffer from most of the Plagues that Christendom did, because of their Hygienic practices or 'Ablutions' that the Koran required.
I'm not saying that Islam is the best religion; I'm Christian (not a member of "Christendom") and very proud of it. However, during the Dark Ages, Christendom was led by 'political motivated' religious rulers who tortured, killed or caused the death of more of their own followers through 'infighting', superstition, greed, starvation and/or lack of decent hygiene for the common people than any other group did.
This was how the Muslim World was able to make so many advances. Read your history books. Christendom eventually conquered Islam.
Many Muslim scientists and mathematicians are credited with finding the basis of modern science and math today. Muslim inventors created many things we use and need today such as the first soaps, toothpastes, and even coffee. A man named Muhammad Al-Khawarizmi also developed methods of solving modern Algebra that is still used today in the U.S. The term Algebra actually derives from an Arabic word "al-jabr." I won't explain everything, but you can skim through the following site which contains a lot of similar information about inventions and scientific advancements that Muslims contributed into to help change the world today.

Blessed is He in Whose hand is the kingdom, and He has power over all things;
It is He Who has created death and life that He might try you-which of you is best in deeds; and He is the Mighty, the Most Forgiving,
The Same Who has created seven heavens in stages. No incongruity can you see in the creation of the Gracious God. Then look again: Do you see any flaw?
Aye, look again, and yet again, your sight will onlyreturn to you tired and fatigued. 10
