Knowledge existed in sorrounding communities. But Islam made them blossom even more.
No...neither the quran nor islam did any such thing. An aggressive military state did such things, first by securing pre-existing knowledge and sources (the majority of "islamic science" being an issue of making copies rather than making discoveries). Then, by co-opting the achievements of those groups it had subsumed by force. It's not as if there's any shame in this, the shame is all on your end for attempting to sell aggrandizing fantasy in contradiction to the very source you chose to present.
No, you should be ashamed because you're biased, you want to picture it as if Muslims -under Sauron- have been copying elvish high-tech & seeking to invade the human of Gondor, so they force them to be slaves, producing the lovely innovations teached before, by the mighty elvan kind.
Shame on you not me, boyo.
