Hi bro. What the other guy said tbh. Here are 3 books I'd advise looking at. Also read quran and see if you can understand how people were inspired to advance the world after reading it.

What level of sophistication are you looking for?

If you need something at a scholarly level you might be interested in a book like Greek Thought, Arabic Culture: The Graeco-Arabic Translation Movement in Baghdad and Early Abbasid Society or Religion, Learning and Science in the 'Abbasid Period in the Cambridge History of Arabic Literature Series.

If you just want something simple that lists "cool things Islamic civilization purportedly invented or influenced in the West" you'd probably do fine with something like 1001 Inventions: The Enduring Legacy of Muslim Civilization: Official Companion to the 1001 Inventions Exhibition. (Bearing in mind that it's basically propagandistic.)
