63. Avicenna - Iran S Great Mathematician And Philosopher, Ibn Sina Avicenna Iran s Great mathematician and Philosopher, ibn sina wrote on onmedicine as well as geometry, astronomy, arithmetic and music. http://www.farsinet.com/hamadan/avicenna.html

Abu Ali al-Husain ibn Abdallah ibn Sina (Avicenna) Born: 980 in Kharmaithen (near Bukhara), Central Asia (now Uzbekistan) Died: June 1037 in Hamadan , Persia (now Iran) Ibn Sina is often known by his Latin name of Avicenna, although most references to him today have reverted to using the correct version of ibn Sina. We know many details of his life for he wrote an autobiography which has been supplemented with material from a biography written by one of his students. The autobiography is not simply an account of his life, but rather it is written to illustrate his ideas of reaching the ultimate truth, so it must be carefully interpreted. A useful critical edition of this autobiography appears in [7] while a new translation appears in [9]. The course of ibn Sina's life was dominated by the period of great political instability through which he lived. The Samanid dynasty, the first native dynasty to arise in Iran after the Muslim Arab conquest, controlled Transoxania and Khorasan from about 900. Bukhara was their capital and it, together with Samarkand, were the cultural centres of the empire. However, from the middle of the 10th century, the power of the Samanid's began to weaken. By the time ibn Sina was born, Nuh ibn Mansur was the Sultan in Bukhara but he was struggling to retain control of the empire. Ibn Sina's father was the governor of a village in one of Nuh ibn Mansur's estates. He was educated by his father, whose home was a meeting place for men of learning in the area. Certainly ibn Sina was a remarkable child, with a memory and an ability to learn which amazed the scholars who met in his father's home. By the age of ten he had memorised the Qur'an and most of the Arabic poetry which he had read. When ibn Sina reached the age of thirteen he began to study medicine and he had mastered that subject by the age of sixteen when he began to treat patients. He also studied logic and

Red Cross Habitat for Humanity Operation Blessing America's Second Harvest ... more ... Hamadan, Iran - Ecbatana, Persia Based in western Iran, Hamadan is a green mountainous area on the foothills of the 3574 - meter Alvand Mountain. The city is 1850 meters above the sea level and is 375 kilometers from the capital Tehran , 190 km east of Kermanshah and 530 km north west of Isfahan. It is the oldest Iranian city and one of the oldest in the world. At the Media era, the dawn of Iranian history, the city was called Hegmataaneh. In Greek documents, however; the city was named Ekbaataan. The valley of Hegmataaneh in the city contains a lot of the relics of Media, Achaemenid, Sassanidae and Islamic era civilizations. Some of the relics have been uncovered and are on display to the interested. All this indicates that Hamadan has a huge share in the establishment of the human civilization. The poet Ferdowsi says that Ecbatana was build by King Jamshid. The modern Hamadan consists of a large central roundabout with six avenues running into it. While lacking antique vestiges, Hamadan, has several monuments worthy of interest. They are usually mausoleums. Their exterior was recently renewed by constructions inspired by the spindle - shaped structure of Mongol towers, to the exclusion of all other features of these towers. The best one covers the Tomb of the famous Ibn Sina called Abu Ali by the Persians and Avicenna by the Western world.

Turkey - The works of Ibn Sina in the Süleymaniye Manuscript Library Abu Ali al-Hussain Ibn Abdallah Ibn al-Hassan Ibn al-Ali Ibn Sina (980-1038), often known by his Latin name of Avicenna, has been described as possessing the mind of Goethe and the genius of Leonardo da Vinci. European medical historians consider him to be one of the most famous scientists of Islam and one of the most famous persons of all races, places and times. Ibn Sina was not only a great physician and scientist but a philosopher as well. He also contributed into the fields such as psychology, geology, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy and logic. Today, Ibn Sina’s portrait hangs in the main hall of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Paris. The works of Ibn Sina that have come down to us are considerable, even if not complete. For some, Ibn Sina wrote about 450 works of which around 240 have survived. G.C. Anawati lists, in his bibliography of 1950, a total of 276 works including texts noted as doubtful and some apocryphal works. Yahya Mahdawi lists 131 authentic and 110 doubtful works in “Bibliographie d’I.S.” in 1954.

Every few days, new photographs of the school will be posted on the site, thus enabling you to view progress. Ibn Sina High school was founded in 1947 and became a high school three years later. However, in 1955 it reverted to being an elementary school, with older students then being moved to secondary technical schools. By 1969, it had become a high school again and was fully equipped, including having its own library, hostel and club for students. However, after heavy fighting raged through West Kabul in the 1990’s, the school was extensively damaged. The scars of that devastation by rockets, mortars and machine-gun fire is still evident today. The school lay derelict for some years and in that period, the building was stripped of just about everything. Wiring was pulled from the walls and ceilings, plumbing was plundered and every piece of furniture stolen. This year (2002), teachers and students moved back to the school and started classes in extremely difficult conditions. Without chairs, blackboards, windows, doors, electricity, heating or water, students and teachers began their work. Some 549 students returned to the school and the number grows daily as more Afghans come back to their country from overseas.

68. Jihad Watch: Fitzgerald: Mr. Bush, Meet Ibn Warraq And Ali Sina When ibn Warraq and Ali sina have their private meetings with Bush and Rumsfeld, There is a key difference between ibn Waraq and Dr sina. http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/006562.php

Main June 08, 2005 Fitzgerald: Mr. Bush, meet Ibn Warraq and Ali Sina Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald deftly and clearly explains how we can win the war: The problem continues as long as the idea that this is a "war" that "can be won" continues. This is a war, a continuous war. It has no end. "Winning" does not exist. Islam will not disappear. What one can do is to make it less attractive, both to those likely pockets as easily identifiable by Infidels as they have been identified by the Da'wa bearers of Islam of psychically and economically marginal populations in the Infidel lands, and to those born into Islam itself. Still more disturbing is this: "Another change being discussed in an ongoing interagency review by the Pentagon, State Department, CIA and White House National Security Council is a strategy that emphasizes this is a war that targets Islamic extremism, not Islam itself." What language should be employed by our rulers, whose duty it is to protect and instruct us? Begin with the word "Jihad." Talk about the "ideology of Jihad." Talk about a "war of self-defense against the Jihad." Talk about "the Jihad" the struggle to spread Islam throughout the world, and to conquer lands for Islam is not central to Islam. Pretend, if you will, that Islam is not what it is, in order to say, better than has been said to date, what it is. Assure everyone that "of course most Muslims do not believe in Jihad." Of course they do. But what will those smiling and plausible people do? Some will tell the truth: Bin Laden tells far more of the truth about Islam, and so does Al-Qaradawi. Khomeini was a truth-teller about Islam. His spirit informed more of Islamic history in Iran than did that sport, the short-lived father-and-son Pahlevi dynasty, though even "nice" Iranians of the "Reading-Lolita-in-Tehran" sort will not admit it to themselves or may not even know it, so uninformed are they about the mistreatment of non-Muslims in Iran over the past thousand years. They might begin by studying Mary Boyce on Zoroastrians, or Lawrence Loeb on modern Iranian Jews, or going back to the Armenian chronicle of Arakel of Tabriz under Shah Abbas.

IBN SINA (Avicenna) Ibn Sina, who died in 1037 AD, is known in the West as Avicenna. He was a renaissance man, a Sufi who excelled in mathematics, which he studied under Al Khawarizmi . He also excelled in medicine, science, astronomy, law, music, poetry and philosophy. His medical reference al-Qanun fi al-Tibb (the canon in Medicine) was the largest ever written with more than one million words and remained the world's authority on the subject until the nineteenth century. His portrait can be found in the great hall of the school of medicine, University of Paris. His books include: A'hwal al-Nafs ( Conditions of the Psyche ) in psychology and the novel Hayy Ibn Yaqzan . This novel was the story of a child stranded on a deserted island who grew up and recognized God by contemplating nature. This novel became the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe after discarding the spiritual aspects in Hayy. Ibn Sina diagnosed cancer and used surgical operations to remove it. He also attributed stomach

Home Islamic Heritage Medical Philolosophy T HE PROCESS OF RECEPTION AND ASSIMILATION: ARABIC MEDICINE IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE No culture of the world is immune from the process of reception and assimilation of ideas from other cultural sources. The Arab conquest of Iran on the one hand, and The Alexandrian School, once the greatest centre of Hellenistic sciences in Egypt, as mentioned above, had combined Egyptian theories and practices with those of the Greeks, but had now ceased to operate as a creative centre. And the Arabs, after the conquest of Egypt in the sixth century, were acquainted with the Graeco-Egyptian medical practice in Alexandria. Khalid ibn-Yazid, the Umayyad prince, went to Alexandria later to master alchemy and was responsible for the first translation of Greek texts into Arabic. The Muslims thus came into contact with Greek medicine in Alexandria, although the contact was insignificant as compared with the Jundishapur School, which was at the height of its activity during the early Islamic period. It was in this historical background that Arabic or Islamic medicine developed and many towering personalities like ar-Razi, Ibn-Sina, Ibn-Rushd and others appeared on the scene of

Links Phl 356 Western Theism Spring '98, University of Texas LECTURE #4: Ibn-Sina, Maimonides and Aquinas I. Ibn Sina FOCUS In Ibn Sina, it is especially clear that the distinction between essence and existence (in contingent beings) is supposed to be a real, and not just a logical or mental, distinction. Ibn Sina describes 'existence' as a kind of "accident" that is super-added to the essence of a thing, thereby bringing one thing of that kind or essence into real existence. At the same time, Ibn Sina recognizes that is is not quite appropriate to say that existence is a "property" of a thing as though, in addition to having two legs and being warm-blooded, I have the additional property of existing. Existence is a special sort of accident one that does not characterize things, but which constitutes their being. As I explained last time, al-Farabi and ibn Sina are "realists", in the sense that they believe that essences and accidents (properties) are real constituents of the world, not things that are merely invented by us and projected on the world through language or thought. Therefore, to learn about the essence of a thing, we must engage in scientific and metaphysical investigation - it is not enough merely to introspect and examine our own ideas. We do not discover that God's essence is identical to His existence by examining our subjective idea or conception of God. Instead, the cosmological argument leads us to the conclusion that there must exist something whose essence is identical to its existence, and further investigation enables us to recognize that this something has all the characteristics we associate with the idea of God.

His first question is related to the burning of bodies by radiation reflecting off a flask filled with water. The second question pertains to the well-known dispute about the natural tendency of the four elements in their upward and downward movements; the third relates to vision and the fourth deals with the habitation on different quarters of earth. In his fifth question, al-Biruni asks Ibn Sina how the two opposite squares in a square divided into four can be tangential. The sixth question is about vacuum. In his seventh question, al-Biruni asks: if things expand upon heating and contract upon cooling, why does a flask filled with water break when water freezes in it? His last question is related to one of the most important observable phenomenon: why does ice float on water?

Al-Biruni rejects Aristotle's reasoning for his assertion that if the heavens were to be elliptical rather than spherical, a vacuum would be created. Al-Biruni also objects to Aristotle's assertion that the motion of the heavens begins from the right side and from the east. In his eighth question, al-Biruni asks how is it that Aristotle considered the element fire to be spherical. The ninth question deals with the movement of heat and the tenth with the transformation of elements into each other. Ibn Sina responds to all questions.

Verily Allah is with those who restrain themselves and those who do good. (Qur’an 16:128) Abu ‘Ali Husayn ibn Sina was a man of the eleventh century AD who became a man of all countries and all climes and who attained the highest place of honor and prestige all over the world by dint of his unequalled scholarship and mastery of knowledge. He is called ash-Shaykh ar-Ra’s of knowledge. That is, he was the peak of knowledge. He is claimed by the Persians and the Turks as their man. Equally he is claimed by the Afghans and the Uzbekiss as the pride of their lands. But we must remember that these geniuses of knowledge belong to no land, they belong to the world. What they leave as contribution in their legacy for humanity in general. In fact, this Shaykh ar-Ra’s was born in Afsana in Bukhara in the state of Uzbekistan in modern USSR in the year 980. His father ‘Abdullah and his mother Sitara were both of Persian descent, and that is why he wrote many poems and essays in Persian in his boyhood. But like his contemporaries, al-Biruni and others, he wrote all his books in Arabic.
