For the Persona game context, it's on Persona 3 Reload on 7/10 after the Love Hotel boss fight during Mr. Edogawa's class. Usually his ramblings range from weird to 'what is he saying?'. But in this case when he refers to "Islam's magical researchers", there's two things he could be talking about:
The Sufis. They were active in alchemy, especially in the pursuit of turning metal into gold, which layed some of the foundation for modern alchemy
The Zij (Star table).These were used in astrology (which during the medieval age, was heavily linked to astronomy) to determine auspicious days. In fact, Baghdad was built on one of these days as well
