You read my response to another question! I can't think of even one.
EDIT for those foolswho think the rest of us are stupid, Thecompass was invented in China, Algebra was invented in greece long before there was a pig called muhhammed, and the roundworldtheory was known by the norse before chrisitanity. But nice try.
Just because that sick child molester claimed those things, doesn't mean his religion invented them. Oh, and charity, was in both the old and new testament thousands of years before Islam.Aroundthe time of Solomon.

1. Islam places great emphasis on education for all: man, woman, rich, and poor. Because of this, while The Church was trying to keep people subjugated by eradicating all learning, much of ancient science and philosophy, including Christian teachings, was preserved by the Muslim world through Europe's Dark Ages.
2. Scientific and cultural advancements made by Muslims brought Europe out of the Dark Ages.
3. Justice and Equality for all - Islam teaches that all are equal before Allah, there is no superior race, nationality, ethnicity, caste, or gender. This is strongly opposed to the other monotheistic religions of the world, and was very strongly opposed by all cultures until within the past century.

Well, there are many as other posters have indicated; but three that come to mind first of all would include libraries, politicized principles of social justice and the long-term view of life and death.
But judging from the questioner and the sorts of responses it's garnered, I'm not sure you'd regard these as good things anyway, since you have no use for them.

three is tight but I'll try anyway:
1. Brought about the end of the Dark Ages for Europe
2. Laid the foundations of modern science, medicine, geography, astronomy, geology, etc. etc.
3. Brought freedom and equality to humankind, black and white, man and woman.
Now after you're pulled your head out of your *a*s*s*, find some time to study Islam.

The god of islam is the god of christianity and judaism etc. So everything good in those religions is also from the god of Islam.
Secondly,
1) The invitation to worship one god
The Quran attest that worshipping "one god" itself is the single most common thing god sends his messengers
read http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/007.qmt.html#007.059
down.
No trinity is not one god. say what you like but it isn't.
2) Being persistent in prayers
3) Freeing of slaves.

And shown him the two highways?

But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep.
090.012
And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?-
090.013
(It is:) freeing the bondman;
090.014
Or the giving of food in a day of privation
090.015
To the orphan with claims of relationship,

Or to the indigent (down) in the dust.
4) Giving women a portion of inheritance.
and more,....

Islamic art is pretty interesting they have learned to make intricate designs without human or animal images.
They had many scholars who invented math formulas.
