Unfortunately, even after the Mongols left, the Muslim countries never got back to their glorious and forward thinking ways, and the reason for that is that some of the most influential Islamic scholars declared the math as a work of the devil, which pretty much cut all further development in the Middle Ages, and still has big negative effects in the present.
