Muslims preserved the writings of Plato and Aristotle long after they had been destroyed or lost in Medieval Europe. Without the Muslims we would not have those texts. Additionally, many Muslims commented on Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy with some (like Ibn Rushd) supporting and extending it and others (like al-Ghazali) disagreeing and refuting it.
During the Abbasid caliphate a number of thinkers and scientists played a role in transmitting Greek, Hindu, and other pre-Islamic knowledge to the Christian West. They contributed to making Aristotle known in Christian Europe. Three speculative thinkers, al-Farabi, Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and al-Kindi, combined Aristotelianism and Neoplatonism with other ideas introduced through Islam.
