Ibnu Sina (Avicenna)
This great scientist was born in
around 980 A.D in the village of Afshana, near Bukhara
which is also his mother’s hometown. His father, Abdullah an advocate, was from
Balkh which is now a part of Afghanistan. Ibn Sina received his early education in his home town and by the age of ten he became a Qur’an Hafiz. He had exceptional intellectual skills which enabled him to
overtake his teachers at the age of fourteen.
During the next few
years he devoted himself to Muslim Jurisprudence, Philosophy and Natural
Science and studied Logic. Ibn Sina was an extremely religious
man. When he was still young, Ibn Sina was highly baffled by the work of
Aristotle on Metaphysics so much so that he used to leave all the work and pray to Allah to guide him. Finally after reading a manual by a
famous philosopher al-Farabi, he found the solutions to his difficulties.
At the age
of sixteen he dedicated all his efforts to learn medicine and by the
time he was eighteen gained the status of a reputed physician. During this time
he was also lucky in curing Nooh Ibn Mansoor, the King of Bukhhara, of an
illness in which all the renowned physicians had given up hope. On this great
effort, the King wished to reward him, but the young physician only got consent to use the King’s exclusive
library of the Samanids.
On his father’s
death, when Ibn Sina was twenty-two years old, he left Bukhara and moved to
Jurjan near Caspian Sea where he lectured on logic and astronomy. Here he also
met his famous contemporary Abu Raihan al-Biruni. Later he travelled to Rai and
then to Hamadan, where he wrote his famous book Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb. Here he
also cured Shams al-Daulah, the King of Hamadan, for severe colic.
From Hamadan, he
moved to Isfahn, where he finished many of his epic writings. Nevertheless, he
continued to travel and the too much mental exertion as well as political chaos
spoilt his health. The last ten or twelve years of his life, he spent on the service of Abu Ja’far ‘Ala Addaula, whom he accompanied as
physician and general literary and scientific consultant. He died during June
1037 A.D and was buried in Hamedan, Iran.
During his life,
Ibn Sina has delivered approximately 450 books. His book
includes one of his earliest and quite phenomenal. The book by Ibn Sina Islamic
leaders that was quite a major impact on the world is ash-Shifa '. Ash-Shifa
'is a book of his work which contains a variety of information about health and
treatment techniques. This book is considered too large and heavy. As a
result the book is reviewed only by certain circles.
