I know there's Greek contributions to Muslim civilization, as I looked it up on Wikipedia. (Yes I use it). But since the Romans had a wider sphere of influence as they conquered all of the known world back then, it would make sense that they had more prolonged influences on both the West and the East.
So what were some of the contributions that they gave to the Muslims?

I don't really know. I can only assume that it was casual things like medicinal practices, cuisine etc.

Nothing wrong with that, as long as it is not your only source of information.

Rather crude but I also found a strange similarity between Arab and Ancient Roman conceptions of homosexuality - namely that there wasn't a gay per se, but rather it was disgusting to be at the bottom while nothing much is said about being on top.

Well the Ottoman Empire claimed to be the successors of Rome at the same time that they were the head of the Sunni faith, so clearly it had some impact.
