Abu Ali Sina Balkhi, Was a Tajik physician and philosopher. آریا زمین

Duration: 41:29
Updated: 06 Oct 2013

People of Arya Zamin - مردم آریا زمین Abu Ali Sina Balkhi, was a Tajik philosopher whose paternal family hailed from Balkh. in what is now in northern Afghanistan, Ibn Sīnā, who travelled to Isfahan later in life to establish a medical school there, is known by some scholars as "the father of modern medicine". George Sarton called Ibn Sīnā "the most famous scientist of Islam and one of the most famous of all races, places, and times." Abu Ali Sina Balkhi, was a Tajik physician and philosopher. He was born in 980 A.D. at Afshana near Bukhara then capital of the (Sunni Tajik- Samanid Dynasty).. The young Abu Ali Balkhi received his early education in Bokhara, and by the age of ten had become well versed in the study of the Qoran and various sciences. He started studying philosophy by reading various Greek, Muslim and other books on this subject and learnt logic and some other subjects from Abu Abdallah Natili, a famous philosopher of the time. While still young, he attained such a degree of expertise in medicine that his renown spread far and wide. At the age of 17, he was fortunate in curing Nooh Ibn Mansour, the Samanid King, of an illness in which all the well-known physicians had given up hope. On his recovery, the King wished to reward him, but the young physician only desired permission to use his uniquely stocked library. On his father's death, Bu Ali left Bokhara and travelled to Jurjan where Khawarazm Shah welcomed him. There, he met his famous contemporary Abu Raihan Al-Biruni. Later he moved to Ray and then to Hamadan, where he wrote his famous book Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb. Here he treated Shams al-Daulah, the King of Hamadan, for severe colic. From Hamadan, he moved to Esfahan, where he completed many of his monumental writings. Nevertheless, he continued travelling and the excessive mental exertion as well as political turmoil spoilt his health. Finally, he returned to Hamadan where he died in 1037 A.D. He was the most famous physician, philosopher, encyclopaedist, mathematician and astronomer of his time. His major contribution to medical science was his famous book al-Qanun, known as the "Canon" in the West. The Qanun fi al-Tibb is an immense encyclo- paedia of medicine extending over a million words. It surveyed the entire medical knowledge available from ancient and Muslim sources. Due to its systematic approach, "formal perfection as well as its intrinsic value, the Qanun superseded Razi's Hawi, Ali Ibn Abbas's Maliki, and even the works of Galen, and remained supreme for six centuries". In addition to bringing together the then available knowledge, the book is rich with the author's original contribution. His important original contribution includes such advances as recognition of the contagious nature of phthisis and tuberculosis; distribution of diseases by water and soil, and interaction between psychology and health. In addition to describing pharmacological methods, the book described 760 drugs and became the most authentic materia medica of the era. He was also the first to describe meningitis and made rich contributions to anatomy, gynaecology and child health. His philosophical encyclopaedia Kitab al-Shifa was a monu- mental work, embodying a vast field of knowledge from philosophy to science. He classified the entire field as follows: theoretical knowledge: physics, mathematics and metaphysics; and practical knowledge: ethics, economics and politics. His philosophy synthesises Aristotelian tradition, Neoplatonic influences and Muslim theology. Abu Ali Sina Balkhi also contributed to mathematics, physics, music and other fields. He explained the "casting out of nines" and its applica- tion to the verification of squares and cubes.

Omar Khayyám - Rubais - Montagem HD

Updated: 19 Oct 2013

Full name Ghiyath al-Din Abu'l-Fath Umar ibn Ibrahim Al-Nishapuri al-Khayyami. Born 18 May 1048 Died 1131 School Persian mathematics, Persian poetry, Persian philosophy Main interests Poetry, Mathematics, Philosophy, Astronomy Influenced by Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī, Avicenna Omar Khayyám (Persian: Nishapur 1048--1131) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, philosopher and poet. He also wrote treatises on mechanics, geography, and music. Born in Nishapur, at a young age he moved to Samarkand and obtained his education there, afterwards he moved to Bukhara and became established as one of the major mathematicians and astronomers of the medieval period. He is the author of one of the most important treatises on algebra written before modern times, the Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra, which includes a geometric method for solving cubic equations by intersecting a hyperbola with a circle. He contributed to a calendar reform. His significance as a philosopher and teacher, and his few remaining philosophical works, have not received the same attention as his scientific and poetic writings. Zamakhshari referred to him as "the philosopher of the world". Many sources have testified that he taught for decades the philosophy of Ibn Sina in Nishapur where Khayyám was born and buried and where his mausoleum today remains a masterpiece of Iranian architecture visited by many people every year. Outside Iran and Persian speaking countries, Khayyám has had an impact on literature and societies through the translation of his works and popularization by other scholars. The greatest such impact was in English-speaking countries; the English scholar Thomas Hyde (1636--1703) was the first non-Persian to study him. The most influential of all was Edward FitzGerald (1809--83), who made Khayyám the most famous poet of the East in the West through his celebrated translation and adaptations of Khayyám's rather small number of quatrains (rubaiyaas) in Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. Omar Khayyām (pronúncia persa: [omare xajɑ:m]) (Nishapur, Pérsia, 25 de julho de 1048 — 4 de dezembro de 1131), poeta, matemático e astrônomo iraniano. Seu nome completo era Ghiyath al-Din Abu'l-Fath Umar ibn Ibrahim Al-Nishapuri al-Khayyami. Khayyām calculou como corrigir o calendário persa. O seu calendário tinha uma margem de erro de um dia a cada 3770 anos. Contribuiu em álgebra com o método para resolver equações cúbicas pela intersecção de uma parábola com um círculo, que viria a ser retomada séculos depois por Descartes. A filosofia de Omar Khayyām era bastante diferente dos dogmas islâmicos oficiais. Concordou com a existência de Deus mas se opôs à noção de que cada acontecimento e fenômeno particular era o resultado de intervenção divina. Em vez disso ele apoiou a visão que leis da natureza explicam todos fenômenos particulares da vida observada. Como poeta é conhecido pelos Rubaiyat (em português, "quadras" ou "quartetos"), que ficariam famosos no Ocidente a partir da tradução de Edward Fitzgerald, em 1839.

Professor Pedram- Farsi Is Belong To Balkh And Ghazni.

Duration: 1:56
Updated: 23 Jan 2014

People of Arya Zamin - مردم از آریا زمین Professor Abdul Latif Pedram (عبداللطيف پدرام) is a writer, poet, journalist, and professor of Persian literature, said that Balkh and Ghazni were the Headquarter of Arya Zamin - آریا زمین (Ariana) and are considered as some of the most brilliant eras of (Arya Zamin - آریا زمین) Numerous valuable works in Farsi (Persian) literature were written.Herat, Ghazni and were the centers of all these cultural developments. Before 17- centuries the Iranians present was not considered as an occupation in Afghanistan. Bahram Moshiri an Iranian historian, said that the Afghans always defended Iran from the foreign invasion in the past. The rule of Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi (سلطان محمود غزنوی) was the golden age and height of the Ghaznavid Empire. Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi carried out seventeen expeditions through India to establish his control and set up tributary states, and his raids also resulted in the looting of a great deal of plunder. He established his authority from the borders of Kurdistan to Samarkand, from the Caspian Sea to the Yamuna. Farsi literary culture enjoyed a renaissance under the Ghaznavids during the 11th century. The Ghaznavid court was so renown for its patronizing of Persian literature, that the poet Farrukhi traveled from his home province to work for them. The poet Unsuri's short collection of poetry was dedicated to Sultan Mahmud and his brothers Nasr and Yaqub. Another poet of the Ghaznavid court, Manuchehri, wrote numerous poems to the merits and advantages of drinking wine. Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi, modelling the Samanid Bukhara as a cultural center, made Ghazni into a center of learning, even inviting Ferdowsi and al-Biruni. He even attempted to persuade Abu Ali Sina Balkhi but was refused. Mahmud preferred that his fame and glory be publicized in Persian and hundreds of poets assembled at his court. He brought whole libraries from Rayy and Isfahan to Ghazni and even demanded that the Khwarizm Shah court send its men of learning to Ghazni. The periods of the Ghaznavids of Ghazni and Timurids of Herat are considered as some of the most brilliant eras of (Khorasan - Afghanistan) During these periods, there was a great cultural awakening. Many famous (Persian- Tajik) poets, scientists and scholars lived in this period. Numerous valuable works in Persian literature were written.Herat, Ghazni and were the centers of all these cultural developments. Shahnameh (شاهنامه) "meaning "The Book of Kings- Mahmud of Ghazni" (محمود غزنی) Shahnama is the most popular and influential national epic in Iran, According to legend, Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni offered Ferdowsi a gold piece for every couplet of the Shahnameh he wrote. The poet agreed to receive the money as a lump sum when he had completed the epic Ferdowsi he dedicated his work to the ruler, Mahmud of Ghazni. Shahnama (شاهنامه) had come from Ghazni (غزنی) to Iran. The Farsi language had developed in Ghazni and Bukhara. Afghanistan`s Dari was the official religious and literary language of (Sassanian empire), Dari has contributed to the majority of Persian borrowings in other Asian languages, such as Urdu, Punjabi,Gujarati,etc.as it was the administrative, official, cultural language of the Mughal Empire and served as the lingua franca throughout the South Asian subcontinent for centuries. The Dari language has a rich and colorful tradition of proverbs that deeply reflect Afghan culture and relationships. Abu Ali Sina Balkhi (ابو علی سینا بلخی) the Tajik philosopher whose paternal family hailed from Balkh. Ibn Sīnā, who travelled to Isfahan later in life to establish a medical school there, is known by some scholars as "the father of modern medicine". George Sarton called Ibn Sīnā "the most famous scientist of Islam and one of the most famous of all races, places, and times." Al-Farabi was another well-known Tajik philosopher and scientist of the 9th and 10th centuries, who, according to Ibn al-Nadim, was from the Faryab Province (ولایت فاریاب) in Afghanistan. Other notable scientists and philosophers are Abu Rayhan Biruni (astronomer, anthropologist, geographer, and mathematician), Abu Zayd Balkhi (polymath and a student of al-Kindi), Abu Ma'shar Balkhi (known as Albuxar in the west), and Abu Sa'id Sijzi, were all Tajiks of Afghanistan. Amir Smail Sanani, is considered the father of the Tajik nation. Rumi, Rudaki, Al-Farabi, Abu Muslim Khorasani, Abu Ali Sina Balkhi, Sanai Ghaznavi, Abu Rayan al Biruni- Sultan Ghiyas ad Din, Imam Bukhri, Imam Abu Hanifa, Nasi Khusraw, Amir Khusraw Balkhi, ,Jami, Ibn Balkhi, Shahid Balkhi, Rab"a Balkhi, Unsuri Balkhi, Khawaja Abdullah Anasri, Anvari Balkhi, Hassan Ghaznavi, Hajweri Ghaznawi, Sayyad Jamal al-Din Afghan, and all other Tajik heroes, poets, writers, philosophers and scientists, were all Tajiks of Afghanistan.

What Is The Islamic Scientific Method?

Duration: 5:25
Updated: 06 Jun 2014

The pioneering development of the scientific method by the Arab Ash'ari polymath Ibn al-Haytham (Alhacen) was an important contribution to the philosophy of science. In the Book of Optics (c. 1025 AD), his scientific method was very similar to the modern scientific method and consisted of the following procedures: In The Model of the Motions, Ibn al-Haytham also describes an early version of Occam's razor, where he employs only minimal hypotheses regarding the properties that characterize astronomical motions, as he attempts to eliminate from his planetary model the cosmological hypotheses that cannot be observed from Earth. "Truth is sought for itself [but] the truths, [he warns] are immersed in uncertainties [and the scientific authorities (such as Ptolemy, whom he greatly respected) are] not immune from error..." He held that the criticism of existing theories — which dominated this book — holds a special place in the growth of scientific knowledge: "Therefore, the seeker after the truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration, and not to the sayings of a human being whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deficiency. Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of its content, attack it from every side. He should also suspect himself as he performs his critical examination of it, so that he may avoid falling into either prejudice or leniency." Ibn al-Haytham attributed his experimental scientific method and scientific skepticism to his Islamic faith. He believed that human beings are inherently flawed and that only God is perfect. He reasoned that to discover the truth about nature, it is necessary to eliminate human opinion and error, and allow the universe to speak for itself. In The Winding Motion, Ibn al-Haytham further wrote that faith should only apply to prophets of Islam and not to any other authorities, in the following comparison between the Islamic prophetic tradition and the demonstrative sciences: "From the statements made by the noble Shaykh, it is clear that he believes in Ptolemy's words in everything he says, without relying on a demonstration or calling on a proof, but by pure imitation (taqlid); that is how experts in the prophetic tradition have faith in Prophets, may the blessing of God be upon them. But it is not the way that mathematicians have faith in specialists in the demonstrative sciences." Ibn al-Haytham described his search for truth and knowledge as a way of leading him closer to God: "I constantly sought knowledge and truth, and it became my belief that for gaining access to the effulgence and closeness to God, there is no better way than that of searching for truth and knowledge." His contemporary Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī also introduced an early scientific method in nearly every field of inquiry he studied. For example, in his treatise on mineralogy, Kitab al-Jamahir (Book of Precious Stones), he is "the most exact of experimental scientists", while in the introduction to his study of India, he declares that "to execute our project, it has not been possible to follow the geometric method" and develops comparative sociology as a scientific method in the field. He was also responsible for introducing the experimental method into mechanics, the first to conduct elaborate experiments related to astronomical phenomena, and a pioneer of experimental psychology. Unlike his contemporary Avicenna's scientific method where "general and universal questions came first and led to experimental work", al-Biruni developed scientific methods where "universals came out of practical, experimental work" and "theories are formulated after discoveries." During his debate with Avicenna on natural philosophy, al-Biruni made the first real distinction between a scientist and a philosopher, referring to Avicenna as a philosopher and considering himself to be a mathematical scientist. Al-Biruni's scientific method was similar to the modern scientific method in many ways, particularly his emphasis on repeated experimentation. Biruni was concerned with how to conceptualize and prevent both systematic errors and random errors, such as "errors caused by the use of small instruments and errors made by human observers." He argued that if instruments produce random errors because of their imperfections or idiosyncratic qualities, then multiple observations must be taken, analyzed qualitatively, and on this basis, arrive at a "common-sense single value for the constant sought", whether an arithmetic mean or a "reliable estimate.
