Contribution of Islamic Civilization in Developing SDGs in European Countries

Abstract

This article discusses the contribution of Islamic civilization to the development of European countries, focusing on its influence in the fields of science, technology, art and philosophy. The process by which Islamic civilization entered Europe, especially through the Andalusian and Sicilian routes, shows how cultural and knowledge exchange can contribute to sustainable development. This research identifies the important role of Muslim scientists in the development of mathematics, astronomy and medicine, which not only influenced education in Europe but also supported the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to quality education and innovation. In addition, Islamic architecture and art, reflected in magnificent buildings such as the Cordoba Mosque and Al-Hamra Palace, enrich Europe's cultural heritage and support the goals of justice and equality. Islamic philosophical thought, pioneered by figures such as Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd, also contributed to the development of European thought and sustainable development. Thus, this article emphasizes the importance of understanding the contributions of Islamic civilization in a historical context and their relevance to the achievement of sustainable development goals in the modern era.
