74 PART C
Read the following excerpt of a passage then find out inverted clauses.
First, the obvious, Muslim society, as a whole, has little, if any, idea at all of the impact its civilisation has exerted on the modern world and modern science and civilisation.
Hardly will it occur to most Muslims that the English speaking world, which dominates our modern civilisation, had at some point acquired its learning and science from the Muslims.
Which is a lamentable state, indeed.
Secondly, equally obvious, if the Muslims themselves ignore their contribution, why should others acknowledge it for them? Hence, the general great silence from the English speaking world, just as from others, is about the Islamic contribution to their scientific revival. In fact, one is wrong to refer to the great silence of the non-Muslim world in respect to the impact of Muslim civilisation. Indeed, had it not been for non -Muslim scholars and historians, Muslims today would know near to nothing about anything, including their own history and the impact of their civilisation in the modern world.
Whilst these words are harsh, they express a lamentable reality and weakness on the part of Muslim scholarship and other elites, and institutions meant to inform or teach an issue on which this author has no wish to dwell, and also this not being the right venue. One, however, must note the few exceptions such as such great figures of Muslim scholarship in the field: Sezgin, Rashed, Djebbar, Al Hassan, Ihsanoglu, and a few others who achieved a considerable amount in the field, and also some Muslim institutions such as Al Furqan of London, IRCICA of Istanbul, and the web-site muslim

heritage. What should be stressed, indeed, is that, were it not for scholars of the calibre of Sarton, Haskins, and many other so called Orientalists (Gibb, Amari, Guillaume, Arnold, Carra de Vaux…) our knowledge of both Islamic history and civilisation would be near nil. Were it not for many scholars of today, also, especially those from the Anglo-Saxon world, America and England, primarily, the likes of David King, Donald Hill, Thomas Glick, Andrew Watson (from Canada), Sheila Blair and Jonathan Bloom, Fairchild Ruggles, D.C.
Lindberg, Harley and Woodward, and few others to be named gradually as this essay progresses, poor, indeed, would be our grasp of the vast Islamic contribution to the rise of modern sciences and civilisation. Whilst we are on this Western scholarly contribution, and in relation to our specific subject, i.e the impact of Muslim learning on England, if it weren’t for someone like Charles Burnett, as an instance, our knowledge of such an impact would be utterly incomplete and flawed.
