What rebirth of learning might not have taken place in Europe if Muhammad had not encouraged the pursuit of knowledge?

If Muhammad had not encouraged the pursuit of knowledge, the significant intellectual revival known as the Renaissance in Europe might have been delayed or even stunted. The Islamic Golden Age, which flourished due to this encouragement, preserved and enhanced ancient Greek, Roman, and Persian texts, fostering advancements in science, mathematics, and philosophy. This wealth of knowledge eventually made its way to Europe through translations and interactions, igniting curiOSity and learning. Without this exchange, the foundational ideas that sparked the Renaissance may not have emerged as strongly or at all.
