Algebra was called “al-jabr” before Muhammad translated it to what it’s called now and he made it into what it is now. It states in http://gatesofvienna.net/, “The word “algebra” stems from the Arabic word “al-jabr”, from the name of the treatise Book on Addition and Subtraction after the Method of the Indians written by the 9th-century Persian mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, who translated, formalized and commented on ancient Indian and Greek works. This proves that muslims invented it and Muhammad fixed to what it is now.

    Islam is one of the most popular and common religions in the world! A merchant trader named Muhammad ibn Abdallah was the man who started Muslim. It all started when Muhammad went to one of his frequent trips to a cave in Mecca and on his way there, the archangel Gabriel squeezed him so hard that the words, Allah was the one God came out of Muhammad’s mouth. He shared the experience with family members but other than that he stayed silent. Finally one day when he went to Mecca for a pilgrimage, in 610, he noticed that Jews have the torah and the Christians have the bible, and that’s when with support he spread the words.…
