Ibnu Sina's full name is Abu 'Alī al-Husayn bin 'Abdullāh bin Sīnā. Ibnu Sina was born in 980 CE in Afsyahnah, an area near Bukhara (Uzbekistan) and died in June 1037 CE in Hamadan, Persia (Iran).

Ibnu Sina, also known as "Avicenna" in the Western world, was a philosopher, scientist, and doctor. He was also a prolific writer whose works mostly dealt with philosophy and medicine. To many, he is the "Father of Modern Medicine". His most famous works are al-Qānūn fī aṭ-Ṭibb (The Canon of Medicine) which has been a reference in the field of medicine for centuries, and Kitab Al-Shifa (The Book of Healing).

Ibnu Sina studied the Al-Qur'an and literature from an early age, and memorized the entire Al-Qur'an before he was 10 years old. He also studied Fiqh (Islamic law) under the Sunni Hanafi scholar Ismail al-Zahid. Ibnu Sina was 13 years old when he began studying medicine, and quickly gained a good reputation. His status as a famous doctor was achieved when he was 18 years old. During that period he managed to heal Nuh Ibnu Mansour, the Ruler of the Samanids.

When Ibnu Sina was 22 years old, his father died. He decided to move to Jurjan near the Caspian Sea and teach logic and astronomy. Then he went to Rey and Hamadan (both in present-day Iran). From Hamadan, he moved to Isfahan (now in central Iran), and completed his epic writings.

But as a result of continuing to travel, exerting too much mental energy, and aggravated by political turmoil, his health collapsed. The last decade of his life, Ibnu Sina spent time serving a military commander Ala al-Dawla Muhammad. In addition to being a doctor, general writer, and scientific consultant, he also helped during the commander's campaign. Ibn Sina died in June 1037 CE, at the age of 58 and was buried in Hamedan, Iran.

Avicenna's most important contribution to medical science is his famous book Al Qanun Fi Al-Tibb (The Canon of Medicine), known as "The Canon" in the West. This book is a large five-volume medical encyclopedia. Its contents include more than one million words. It consists of medical knowledge available from ancient and Muslim sources. This book was translated into Latin in the twelfth century and was used as a standard medical text in European universities until the middle of the 17th century.

His other great work is "The Book of Healing", a scientific and philosophical encyclopedia. This book is meant to 'heal' the soul. It is divided into four parts: logic, natural science, mathematics and metaphysics. In his medical texts, Ibnu Sina also identified infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. A few centuries before Louis Pasteur, he also discovered the possibility of disease spreading through water and soil.

Not only that, Ibnu Sina was also one of the first to find a way of treating the sick by injecting medicine into the patient's body. So it is not surprising when he was given the nickname al-Ra's or the peak of the mountain of knowledge.

Ibnu Sina even investigated a person's emotional health, long before the biofeedback technique was introduced. Other contributions include descriptions of meningitis, various parts of the eye and heart valves, and how nerves contribute to muscle pain.

Advances made in the fields of anatomy, gynecology, and pediatrics are so sophisticated. As a result, his book soon became the main textbook used in European medical schools until the 17th century.

In his book, he developed his own logic system, Avicennian logic. In mathematics, Ibnu Sina explained the concept of arithmetic. While in astronomy, he proposed that Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth. He also invented a device to observe the coordinates of the stars, and stated that the stars were self-luminous.

In total, Avicenna wrote more than 400 works, and about 240 of them still survive.

May his quotes inspire you to be a good person and an individual of action.
