Abstract

Islam has experienced many ups and downs during its lifetime, and in the meantime, the golden age and its irreplaceable civilization in a long period of time led many to study and research in its various angles, and explain and extract the components of the Islamic civilization model at that time. Some Western researchers of civilizations, following their knowledge of Islam, have taken a special look at this period, believing that this unique paradigm can be reconstructed, strengthened, and revived, bringing humanity of today and the world of tomorrow to a special place. In the present article, the book  Islam's Contribution to Human Civilization, which is a passage to the golden age of Muslims and the amazing and far-reaching impact of Islam on world civilization, has been reviewed and commented on. Some points made in this review are as follows; Comparing the Age of Enlightenment and the European Industrial Revolution with the Golden Age of Muslims and the Islamic Renaissance, the constituent elements of civilization according to the pattern of Islamic civilization, the non-Arab effect on the development of Islamic civilization and the need to revive Islamic civilization.
