THABIT IBN QURRAH (THEBIT) (836 - 901 C.E.) by
Dr. A. Zahoor

Thabit ibn Qurrah, known in the West as Thebit , is known for his work on mechanics, astronomy, pure mathematics and geometry. Thabit ibn Qurrah ibn Marwan al-Harrani was born in 836 C.E. at Harran (present Turkey) and died in Baghdad in 901 C.E. He joined the scientific team of the great Muslim mathematician Muhammad Ibn Musa Ibn Shakir at Baghdad, which was established by the Abbasid Caliphs. Thabit was a pioneer in extending the concept of traditional geometry to geometrical algebra and proposed theories that led to the development of non-Euclidean geometry, spherical trigonometry, integral calculus and real numbers. He used arithmetic terminology to study several aspects of conic sections (parabola and ellipse). His algorithm for computing the surface area and volume of solids is in fact what we came to know later as the integral calculus. Thabit's original work on Mechanics and Physics involves examining conditions of equilibrium of bodies, beams and levers. Some historians have recognized him as the Founder of Statics. He was among the early critics of Ptolemaic views on astronomy. He also criticized several theorems of Euclid's elements and proposed important improvements. Thabit added the ninth sphere to Ptolemic astronomy. Some early investigators criticized his work on 'Trepidation of Equinoxes' and several centuries later Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) improved upon his work. Thabit analyzed several problems on the movements of sun and moon and wrote treatises on sundials. Beer and Madler in their famous work Der Mond (1837) mention a surface feature of the moon after Thabit (Thebit). It is a prominent circular plain thirty miles in diameter in Section No. 8. The intrusion of a small circular plain has disfigured its circular wall. A small crater has thrust itself in on the eastern side of this plain.

Christians of Iraq Contact Assyrian Contributions to the Arab Civilization
The Haranian School
Harran during the Assyrian period was an important center of astronomy and mathematics which was used to calculate the movement of planets the prediction of eclipses and other astronomical events. It should not surprise us that such knowledge had survived a thousand years later in that city perhaps because Harranians refused to convert to Christianity and the planetary worship was still part of their religion which made such knowledge necessary. During the early Islamic period they were called Sabians a name mentioned in Koran which they adopted to join the ranks of the tolerated people. At times they have been confused with the Sabians living in southern Mesopotamia. One of the first translators of the Harranian school of mathematic and astronomy is known by his Arabized name as al-Hajjaj ibn-yusuf ibn-Matar (786-833). He is credited with having made the first translation of Euclid' Elements and one of the first of ptolemy's astronomical work in Arabic "Almagest" in 827-28 from a former Syriac version. (Philip Hitti, "History of the Arabs", Princeton University Press, 10th edition, Macmillan st. Martine Press p.314) It was revised by Hunayn ibn-Ishaq and later by Thabit . Thabit bin Qurra (826-901) is considered to be the greatest geometer of the Arab period. "Thabit translated into Arabic seven of the eight books on conic sections of Apolonius and wrote earliest known work on the sundial."

Islamic Medicine - Cultural Academy Medicine, as we know it today, did not develop overnight. It took the aggregate effort of countless m men and women over thousands of years. Islamic physicians, in particular, contributed much to the world's knowledge of medicine. Medicine Before Islam To truly understand Islam's contributions to medicine, we must have an accurate picture of the state of medicine before Islam. We will consider the two most general necessities for providing reasonable health care, manpower and hospitals. Manpower before Islam: Before Islam, good centers of physicians were spread out from one another. For example, centers where physicians practiced and discussed medicine existed only in such places as Alexandria, Egypt, and Jundi Sfhapur, Persia. While these centers were quite advanced, the lack of a unified Government or empire in the area curtailed communications between the physicians, thereby making medical advancements all the more difficult. Hospitals before Islam: Hospitals as we know them now probably were not present. While there were places for the sick to stay, these places were mainly temples or annexes to temples that were run by priests. Gods were supposed to paly a major role in the art of healing. In those days, sanctuary, prayers, inactation, and hypnosis were integral parts of the therapy. Unfortunately, many of these rituals were not based in fact and did not result in the healing of the sick. Furthermore, some of these places did not care for certain patients due to race or religion.

Every Muslim who has even a brief acquaintance with Islamic History is aware that the Islamic Ideology and world-view provided, during the first few centuries Hijra, a most powerful source of inspiration, especially for the Muslim people's quest for knowledge. The Islamic spirit produced a radical transformation in the Arabian Peninsula, as well as among the countries where Islam took firm root in the immediately succeeding centuries. The rich contributions which Islam has made in the various branches of Science served as the basis for the development of modern science. Although many earlier western historians tended to ignore this fact, recent investigations have led to a wider recognition of the importance of the Muslim contributions, especially to the development of scientific thought and the scientific method.

http://www.algana.co.uk/FamousNames/I/ibnAl-Battani.htm
ibn AL-BATTANI Abu Abdallah Mohammad ibn Jabir ibn Sinan al-Raqqi al-Harrani al-Sabi al-Battani. (sometimes known by a latinised version of his name Albatenius) was born in Harran, Mesopotamia (now Turkey). His family were members of the Sabian sect, a religious sect of star worshippers from Harran. Being worshipers of the stars meant that the Sabians had a strong motivation for the study of astronomy and they produced many outstanding astronomers and mathematicians such as Thabit ibn Qurra. In fact Thabit was also born in Harran and would have still have been living there at the time that al-Battani was born. Al-Battani, unlike Thabit, was not a believer in the Sabian religion and records indicate that he was a Muslim. He composed a work on astronomy, with tables, containing his own observations of the sun and moon and a more accurate description of their motions than that given in Ptolemy's "Almagest". Al-Battani's Kitab al-Zij is his most important work and it describes the division of the celestial sphere into the signs of the zodiac and into degrees. The necessary background mathematical tools are then introduced such as the arithmetical operations on sexagesimal fractions and the trigonometric functions. Al-Battani's other achievements included cataloguing 489 stars, refining the existing values for the length of the year (which he gave as 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes 24 seconds) and defining the seasons. He died in Qasr al-Jiss, Iraq in 929.

Thabit and his pupils lived in this midst. He worked in Baghdad and he occupied himself with mathematics, astronomy, mechanics, medicine and philosophy. His native language was Syriac, which was the eastern Aramaic dialect from Edessa, and he knew well also Greek. He translated from Greek Apollonius, Archimedes, Euclid and Ptolemy. Thabit had revised translation of Euclid Elements of Hunayn ibn Ishaq. He had also rewritten the Hunayn's translation of Ptolemy's Almagest and he translated Ptolemy's Geography, which later became very known. Later Thabit's patron was the Abbasid Caliph al-Mu'tadid (reigned 892–902) and Thabit very soon became his personal friend and the visitor of his court. There are just a few original Thabit's works that were preserved.
Thabit has developed a theory about the trepidation and oscilation of the equinoctial points, of which many scolars debated in the Middle Ages. According to Copernicus Thabit has determined the length of the sidereal year 365d 6h 9m 12s (an error of 2s). He published his observations of the Sun. In mathematics Thabit discovered an equation for determining the amicable numbers.

It contains the explicit text recommending him for the caliphate. Imam Abu Muhammad al-Hasan (as), grandson of the Prophet (pbuh), and master of all the the young of Paradise, delivered a sermon when his father the Commander of the Faithful (as) was assassinated in which he said: "I am the descendant of the Prophet (pbuh), and the son of his vicegerent," as quoted by al-Hakim on page 172, Vol. 3, of his authentic Mustadrak .

Companions of the Prophet part 5
Said Ibn Zayd
Zayd the son of Amr stood away from the Quraysh crowd as they celebrated one of their festivals. Men were dressed in rich turbans of brocade and expensive Yemeni burdabs. Women and children were also exquisitely turned out in their fine clothes and glitte ring jewelry. Zayd watched as sacrificial animals, gaily caparisoned were led out to slaughter before the Quraysh idols. It was difficult for him to remain silent. Leaning against a wall of the Kabah, he shouted: "O people of Quraysh! It is God Who has created the sheep. He it is Who has sent down rain from the skies of which they drink and He has caused fodder to grow from the earth with which they are fed. Then even so you slaughter them in names other than His. Indeed, I see that you are an ignorant folk." Zayd's uncle al-Khattab, the father of Umar ibn al-Khattab, seethed with anger. He strode up to Zayd, slapped him on the race and shouted: "Damn you! We still hear from you such stupidity. We have borne it until our patience is exhausted." Al-Khattab then incited a number of violent people to harass and persecute Zayd and make life extremely uncomfortable for him. These incidents which took place before Muhammad's call to Prophethood gave a foretaste of the bitter conflict that was to take place between the upholders of truth and the stubborn adherents of idolatrous practices. Zayd was one of the few men, known as hanifs, who saw these idolatrous practices for what they were. Not only did he refuse to take part in them himself but he refuse d to eat anything that was sacrificed to idols. He proclaimed that he worshipped the God of Ibrahim and, as the above incident showed, was not afraid to challenge his people in public.

What do you think my situation is?" Ibn 'Abbas said to him, "She was divorced from you by three pronouncements, and by the ninety-seven you have mocked the ayats of Allah." 2 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man came to 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud and said, "I have divorced my wife by saying 'I divorce you' eight times." Ibn Mas'ud said to him, "What have people told you?" He replied, "I have been told that I have to part absolutely from her." Ibn Mas'ud said, "They have spoken the truth. If someone divorces in the way that Allah has said, Allah has made it clear for him. But if someone makes matters confused for himself, then we make him responsible for what he has made confused. So do not confuse yourselves and then expect us to bear the burden for you. It is as they have said." 3 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id from Abu Bakr ibn Hazm that 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz had asked him what people said about the 'irrevocable' divorce, and Abu Bakr had replied that Aban ibn 'Uthman had clarified that it was declared only once. 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz said, "Even if divorce had to be declared a thousand times, the 'irrevocable' would use them all up. A person who says 'irrevocably' has cast the furthest limit."

  • ABU ABDULLAH AL-BATANI ( 858 - 929 A.D.) Abu Abdallah Muhammad Ibn Jabir Ibn Sinan al-Battani al-Harrani was born around 858 A.D. in Harran, and according to one account, in Battan, a State of Harran. Battani was first educated by his father Jabir Ibn San'an al-Battani, who was also a well-known scientist. He then moved to Raqqa, situated on the bank of the Euphrates, where he received advanced education and later on flourished as a scholar. At the beginning of the 9th century, he migrated to Samarra, where he worked till the end of his life in 929 A.D. He was of Sabian origin, but was himself a Muslim. Battani was a famous astronomer, mathematician and astrologer. He has been held as one of the greatest astronomists of Islam. He is responsible for a number of important discoveries in astronomy, which was the result of a long career of 42 years of research beginning at Raqqa when he was young. His well-known discovery is the remarkably accurate determination of the solar year as being 365 days, 5 hours, 46 minutes and 24 seconds, which is very close to the latest estimates. He found that the longitude of the sun's apogee had increased by 16 o , 47' since Ptolemy. This implied the important discovery of the motion of the solar apsides and of a slow variation in the equation of time. He did not believe in the trapidation of the equinoxes, although Copernicus held it.
