I will admit that this image is NOT 100% accurate but many of the listed inventions or discoveries were indeed influenced or developed by Muslim scholars, especially during the Islamic Golden Age (8th–14th centuries). Some examples:

Algebra: from Al-Khwarizmi, whose works shaped modern mathematics.
Camera theory: Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) discovered that light enters the eye, which inspired the pinhole camera concept.
Chemistry: Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber) did pioneering work in distillation and purification.
Surgical instruments and anesthesia: developed by Al-Zahrawi.
Crankshaft and mechanical devices: from Al-Jazari, an early engineer and inventor.
Trigonometry and optics: significantly advanced by Muslim mathematicians.

Some things on that list weren’t invented by Muslims, though Muslims contributed to improving or spreading them:

Coffee: came from Ethiopia, but Yemenis popularized it.
Cameras, checks, paper, and cloth: existed before Islam, though Muslim societies refined or mass-produced them.
Flying in 852: Abbas ibn Firnas did attempt flight, but it wasn’t sustained or technologically advanced.
The Earth being round: known by ancient Greeks before Islam (for example, Aristotle and Eratosthenes).

So while Muslims didn’t invent everything listed, they played an enormous role in preserving, enhancing, and transmitting knowledge to Europe.

The overall message of the image is that Muslims contributed massively to world progress is true.
But the specific list is a mix of accurate facts, overstatements, and a few myths.

Well, that's practically nothing in timer-land. Consider that you're probably already preemptively perma-banned from the Real_Politics stream.

I very much prefer the world with coffee in it, thank you. And with algorithms, and the elegant numbers that Muslim traders brought from India and introduced to the Europeans.
