Zero was invented in India. Europe found out about it through the Arabs.

To hear the Muslims tell it, Arabs invented everything this side of the wheel.

Technically much of that transmission or preservation of information was done by the Persian caliphates, not by Arabs, but the muslims as a whole claim them, because, well, the Arabs don’t have much to claim for themselves.
