Ibn SINA (Avicena)
Nga Dr. A. Zahoor Ibn Sina, i njohur në perëndim me emrin Avicena, ishte fizikanti, filozofi, enciklopedisti, matematicienti dhe astronomi më me famë i kohës së tij. Kontributi kryesor i tij në shkencën e mjekësisë ishte libri i tij i famshëm "El-Kanun fi el-Tibb", i njohur në perëndim me titullin "Kanuni". Asnjë shqyrtim në shkencën e mjekësisë nuk mund të kompletohet pa iu referuar Ibn Sinas. Ebu Ali el-Husein ibn Abdullah ibn Sina lindi më 981 në Afshan afër Buharës (Azia Qëndrore). Në moshën 10 vjeçare ai u bë me përvojë në studimin e Kur'anit dhe shkencave themelore. Studioi logjikën nga Ebu Abdullah Natili, filozof me famë i asaj kohe, dhe studimi i tij i filozofisë përfshinte libra të ndryshëm të dijetarëve grek si dhe musliman. Në rininë e tij ai tregoi zgjuarsi të mrekullueshme në mjekësi dhe u bë i njohur në rethinë. Në moshën 17 vjeçare ai kuroi me sukses Nuh ibn Mensurin, mbretin e Buharës, nga nje sëmundje nga e cila të gjithë fizikantët e njohur kishin hequr dorë. Me shërimin e tij, mbreti Mansur kishte dëshirë ta shpërblente atë, por fizikanti i ri të vetmën dëshirë e kishte që t'i lejohej perdorimi i biblotekës së pasur të mbretit.
Mbas vdekjes së babait të tij, Ibn Sina udhëtoi për në Xhurxhan ku aty ai takoi bashkëkohasin e njohur të tij Ebu Reihan el- Biruni. Më vonë ai shkoi në Raj dhe më pas në Hamad, ku ai shkruajti librin e tij të famshëm "El-Kanun fi el-Tibb". Aty, ai kuroi mbretin e Hamadanit, Shems el-Deulah, për dhimbjet e barkut. Nga Hamadan ai kaloi në Isfahan (Irani i sotëm), ku aty përfundoi shkrimet e tij të shumta të shquara. Megjithatë , ai vazhdoi udhëtimin ku lodhja mentale dhe trazirat politike dëmtuan shëndetin e tij. Përfundimisht, ai u kthye në Hamadan ku edhe vdiq në vitin 1037.

Commissions help to support orphaned kids. 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.

Avicenna and Other Great Religious Thinkers
From page 70:
Every thousand years or so, there comes a thinker whose life is as striking as his or her intellectual output is stunning. Viewed from this perspective, it is remarkable indeed that within a period of 300+ years, the world was to witness the convergent odysseys of four titans of thought who set the agenda for the study of reality at every level. This is the period I like to call the Golden Age of human thought. Between them

http://www.famousmuslims.com/ibn sina.htm
Home Page Scientists Doctor of all Doctors Ibn Sina (Avicenna) Ibn Sina was born in 980 C.E. in the village of Afshana near Bukhara which today is located in the far south of Russia. His father, Abdullah, an adherent of the Ismaili sect, was from Balkh and his mother from a village near Bukhara. In any age Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna, would have been a giant among giants. He displayed exceptional intellectual prowess as a child and at the age of ten was already proficient in the Qur'an and the Arabic classics. During the next six years he devoted himself to Muslim Jurisprudence, Philosophy and Natural Science and studied Logic, Euclid, and the Almeagest. He turned his attention to Medicine at the age of 17 years and found it, in his own words, "not difficult". However he was greatly troubled by metaphysical problems and in particular the works of Aristotle. By chance, he obtained a manual on this subject by the celebrated philosopher al-Farabi which solved his difficulties. By the age of 18 he had built up a reputation as a physician and was summoned to attend the Samani ruler Nuh ibn Mansur (reigned 976-997 C.E.), who, in gratitude for Ibn Sina's services, allowed him to make free use of the royal library, which contained many rare and even unique books. Endowed with great powers of absorbing and retaining knowledge, this Muslim scholar devoured the contents of the library and at the age of 21 was in a position to compose his first book.

Avicenna (Ibn Sina)
Persian physician and philosopher, born at Kharmaithen, in the province of Bokhara, 980; died at Hamadan, in Northern Persia, 1037. From the autobiographical sketch which has come down to us we learn that he was a very precocious youth; at the age of ten he knew the Koran Aristotle's teaching in the light of the Commentaries of Thomistius, Simplicius, and other neo- Platonists Aristotle's works. A favourite principle of Avicenna, which is quoted not only by Averroes but also by the Schoolmen, and especially by St. Albert the Great, was intellectus in formis agit universalitatem, that is, the universality of our ideas is the result of the activity of the mind itself. The principle, however, is to be understood in the realistic, not in the nominalistic sense. Avicenna's meaning is that, while there are differences and resemblances among things independently of the mind, the formal constitution of things in the category of individuality, generic universality, specific universality, and so forth, is the work of the mind. Avicenna's physical doctrines show him in the light of a faithful follower of Aristotle , who has nothing of his own to add to the teaching of his master. Similarly, in psychology, he reproduces

The first two (namely, the continuity and evenness) cause the acuteness, the other two, the density. It is the state in which the vibration is, by reason of the forms imposed upon it by the various exits and distractions, that forms (each particular) speech-sound, for a speech-sound is an accidental form of sound audibly distinguishable from another sound that has similar acuteness and density.

IBN SINA (Avicenna) Abu Ali al-Husain ibn Abdallah ibn Sina (known in the west as Avicenna), was born in 980 in Kharmaithen (near Bukhara), in Uzbekistan. He was a famous Islamic philosopher and physician. Ibn Sina was born into a middle class family and his father was the governor of a village in one of Nuh ibn Mansur's estates. He was educated by his father, and was a very intelligent child. By the age of ten, ibn Sina had memorised the entire Qur'an and several volumes of the Arabic poetry. Ibn Sina began studying medicine when he was thirteen and mastered the subject by the age of sixteen, when he began his practice. Ibn Sina was a court physician for the Samanid ruler in Bukhara - who was overthrown a year latter. From 1023 to his death in 1037, he served as scientific advisor with the local ruler of Esfahan. He also studied logic and metaphysics. In his autobiography, ibn Sina stressed that he was mostly self-taught but admits that he received instruction at several critical points in his life.

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.

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.

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
