I want you to know that this is a serious and sincere question.
How have arabs (not persians) enriched the world?
If there is nothing, or very few examples - why do you think that is?

we have a lot of modern medicinal practises which derive from the arabs, they were actually he prominent "doctors" a lot of our western ideas were infact adapted from the arab healers. also one of the pillars of modern society the wheel, was discovered in mesopotamia a arab country, i time was a concept developed in the middle east by the babylonians or modern day assyrians they are not arabs but they do inhabit iraq so yer, astronomy was strongly arab influenced before the greek empire infact the oldest telescope was discovered there before galileo even came up with the idea.
also a lot of modern law which we still use in our judicial system derives from the middle east again from the babylonians however, the king Hammurabi actually basically invented social order, he created the Hammurabi code basic laws each citizen had to obide by, just like we have civil rights today, much of his work is still used in modern courts.
interestin fact babylonians inventd beer also, so to all the alcohol lovers we have somthign to thank them for.
i know that the babylonians are not ARABS but technically speaking according to todays geography they do inhabit modern day iraq so they have ben imersed in arab culture and most people think they are arab thus why i mentioned them also.

Indeed, as stated above, we use the Arabic numbering system.
They also contributed to the arts of architecture and art itself. Seeing that Islam originated with the Arabs, and that Muslim art has its own set of rules and looks different, as well as their architecture.
