The Islamic Golden Age or the Islamic Empire, that is one of the largest empires in history
, is conventionally dated from seventh through seventeenth centuries A.D.). During this period, scientists, artists, engineers, scholars, poets, philosophers, geographers and traders in the Islamic world contributed to agriculture, the arts, economics, industry, law, literature, navigation, philosophy, sciences, sociology, and technology, both by preserving earlier traditions and by adding inventions and innovations of their own.
Arabic became the scientific language of the world for seven centuries
Prophet Muhammad said, "Seeking knowledge is a duty for every Muslim."
No wonder Muslims learned from the Greeks and others. Muslim civilization then flourished, contributing to several branches of knowledge and Arabic became the scientific language of the world for seven centuries during the dark ages in Europe.
In his book, "Science in Medieval Islam, An Illustrated Introduction"
Howard R. Turner writes: "Muslim philosophers and poets, artists and scientists, princes and laborers created a unique culture that has influenced societies on every continent."
Howard R. Turner is a documentary and educational film and television writer who served as Curator for Science for the major traveling exhibition "The Heritage of Islam, 1982-1983."

It is well known that it is mandatory for any country wishing to grow through education to acquire knowledge from highly known learning institutions around the globe.
This was exactly what George II; the King of England has done with a Muslims' Ruler.
In the following recently disclosed document, you will see how George II was a Farsighted and a Wise king.
In the year of 1028; King George sent the following message to Caliph Hisham III (Muslims' Ruler) requesting permission to allow a mission of royal princesses to study at the University of Cordoba (Famous Muslims' University in Spain)
"From George II, the King of England, Sweden and Norway to
The Caliph of the Muslim Kingdom of Spain, His Majesty Hisham III:
With due respect, we heard of the great knowledge that inundated your educational institutions and industries in your prestigious country.
"We wish for our children to copy your modalities so that it would be a good start of following your footsteps of science enlightenment in our countries that are besieged by darkness of ignorance in all of their four corners. We put my niece Princess Dobant in charge of a mission of noble English girls to be honored to your crown in seeking your kind attention to learn under your great patronage and under the protection of your esteemed court for those are to be in charge of their education. With the young princess, we sent a small modest gift to your majesty hoping that you kindly accept it.
With respect and true affection,
Your obedient servant, George"
Caliph Hisham III replied:
"In the name of God, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful,
Grace be upon God,
May He bestow mercy upon his Prophet,
To the King of England, Sweden and Norway:
We read your request and we agreed after consultation with those concerned,
We wish to inform you that the expenditures of your mission will be at the expense of the Muslim treasury as a proof of our relationship with your Royal Self.
As to your gift, we over gladly accepted it.
In return, we are sending precious Andalusia handicrafts from the making of our people as a gift to you carrying with them the meaning of our attention and cordiality.
Salam.
Caliph of God's Messenger in the lands of Andalusia."
(Andalusia) was the Arabic name of Spain today.
Last but not least, the British Royal Princesses lived for years and for free and studied at the University of Cordoba (the most Famous Muslims' University in Spain at that time); they were surrounded by all kinds of Generosity and Hospitality.
