The Muslim world helped start the Renaissance by preserving the ancient classical texts.
The Renaissance refers to a period in European history which marks the transition from the Medieval period to the modern age, between the 15th and 16th centuries. It represented the cultural and artistic movement to renew the achievements of classical antiquity. It led to great social upheavals and transformation in ideas and outlook.
The Muslim world played an important role in this as they had translated and preserved the classical texts which provided the grounds for Renaissance. They had also developed the scientific method, and and were pioneers in the modern university system, medical systems, and improved agricultural practices.
