So, how did Islam hinders personal progress and development? Don't use anecdotes like "No Muslims working in financial markets". Tell me which teachings of Islam will hinder personal progress and development.

If the islamic countries are losing out to Western and Asian nations (non-Islamic nations) in terms of sciences, politics, economics, ethics, medicine, literature and so forth (e.g., List of Nobel laureates by country - Wikipedia).

Then it is obvious that Islam hinder personal progress and development...get it! Don make me repeat again!
