The claim of the Arab science is false because Arabs only translated both Greek and Indian scientific achievements.
For example Arabic numbers are all Indian numbers, including the concept of Zero. It was introduced in the Arab world when the Khalifa of Baghdad invited two Indian mathematicians to bring Surya Siddhanta written by AryaBhatta in 4th century to Baghdad and then that book was translated into Arabic. Al-Beruni accompanied Sultan Mahmood's invading army to India in 8th century and collected all available books on science and medicines and translated those into Arabic even claiming authorship, but he was just a plagiarist. Similarly Iban Batuta from Morroco travelled to India on 13th century once again to collect all available scientific and mathematical discoveries. However, Arabs do not acknowledge that.<span style='color:blue'>
When Indian mathematics were translated into Latin by the Italian traders then only Europeans have since 14th century the modern mathematics.
The notable Indian inventions were: (a) Number system and arithmatic, square root; (b) Algebra, theory of equation, quadratic equation, square root, imaginary number, logarithm;© Astronomy, planetary system, movement of the earth around the sun,distance of moon from earth and sun from earth, age of the universe, gravity; (d)medicine, system of medicines developed to a very advance level.</span>
Due to the Muslim invasion, Indian universities ( in Taxila, Ujjain, Nalanda, Vikramshila, and in several other places were all destroyed; scholars were killed, books were destroyed too. Only those that had survived were taken to Persia or Arab countries by the Arab scholars who used to follow the invaders.
India is unfortunate that it was occupied by the British, who had so far refused to acknowledge the contributions made by India; however both Germans and Russians did acknowledged that.
Thus, Arabs must acknowledge their debt to India rather claiming what was not invented or discovered by any Arabs at all, but by either Greeks or Indians.
