The development of Islamic civilization goes hand in hand with physical and spiritual development. This can be highlighted in the 9th century golden age of Islam which witnessed the development of knowledge by Muslims scholars in various disciplines, including mathematics. Although the discourse in mathematical science only involves numbers, letters, and formulas, however, Muslims scholars took it as an instrument to manifest the greatest of God. Hence this article will discuss the development of mathematical knowledge in the spotlight of Islamic civilization. The method of study is qualitative through literature study. The study found that the Quran became a source of inspiration to Islamic scholars in mathematics so that the branch of knowledge such as number theory, arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Then the sciences are developed and exploited by people around the world so far today.
