Assalamu Alaikum I hope you are all well by the grace of God.
Episode 4 9. Ibn Bakr (inventor of anesthesia) Ibn-Bakr. A pharmacologist. Inventor. Discoverer. In all these respects he was a leading figure. This sage introduced the method of application of general anesthetic or anesthesia. In this case he used opium.
He was also a philosopher. Ibn Bakr's full name is Abu Bakr Muhammad Ibn Zakaria Al-Razi. He was probably born in a place called Rai in Iran. In the world of medical science, he can only be compared to the genius Abu Sina. Ibn Sina who is better known. Ibn Bakr's contribution to medical science is unique and remarkable. He was the first to differentiate between small pox and chicken pox rage.
That is to say, the first thing we know from Ibn Bakr is that cocoon spring and water spring are not the same rage. Surgeons sometimes read in a state of bewilderment, then he came up with a new medical system called. It is commonly used today as anesthesia. However, he first used opium in this work. He formulated several acids. Sulfuric acid is one of them. He formulated a balanced diet list. The education he received in the early stages included music.
But later he emerged as one of the foremost scholars in the field of pharmacology. He also acquired knowledge in mathematics, chemistry, astronomy and philosophy. He had the opportunity to learn from the great scholars of the time. Among his notable teachers was the notable educator Hunan ibn Ishaq. Ibn Bakr traveled extensively in the realms of scientific knowledge acquired in Greece, Persia and India. According to Ali ibn Rabban, he had the honor of being a teacher's student. Ali ibn Rabban was a well-known educator at that time. Abu Bakr started his career at Mukhtadi Hospital. Started working there as an intern doctor.
He voluntarily served there successfully. He was appointed superintendent of the Espriel Hospital in Rye, setting a well-established example of efficiency. There, too, he proved to be an extraordinary success. He was brought back to Baghdad's Mukhtadi Hospital. This time he came as the main personality of the hospital. Hekim's reputation as a doctor spread around. Students from all over Asia started coming to study with him in groups. Being a student of Abu Bakr was a matter of chance. He spent a long time working in this hospital. He has traveled to many countries in search of knowledge. He has never been to another country to impart knowledge. Towards the end of his life he wrote four books on medicine. The names of the books are: Kitab-Munsuri, Kitab Al-Mulki, Al-Habi and Kitab Al-Judari wa Al-Hasaba.
These books have been able to pass the test of time. The Kitab al-Munsuri, now considered a valuable book, is a large-scale work. The book was translated into Latin in the fifteenth century. This ten-volume book discusses Greek and Arabic medicine systems and therapies. Some of its fragments have been translated into other European languages. The book Kitab al-Judabi wa al-Hasaba discusses smallpox and smallpox. At that time there was an epidemic in the world. He proves that these two rages are not one. Different treatments are required for these. Abu Bakr's contribution was astonishing. The people of Asia and Europe have greatly benefited from his work. Even then there were limitations within a hekim or doctor. Now the common man's idea about Hekim is that they are the makers of haluya. And they can make strong indigenous herbal pills.
But at one time hekim meant doctors of doctors - 'Doctor of Doctors'. The European language has created a confusion in this sense. At the end of a successful career, Abu Bakr returned to his birthplace. He died there in 900 AD. He was buried there. 10. Al Fergani (pioneer of applied engineering) The planet we live on today is centered around the planet we know about.
But at one time people did not even know the diameter of the planet called Earth. The first man to know about the diameter of the window, what have we ever thought about it? And what I do know is that this work was first performed by a Muslim scientist. This large-scale discovery was made by Abul Abbas Ahmed Ibn Himmad Ibn Katir Al-Fargani. Who is known as Alfraganus in the Western world. He was an Arab or a Sunni Muslim astronomer from Persia. In the ninth century, he was a world-renowned astronomer. The lunar volcano Alfraganus is named after him. He was born in Fergina,
Trans Oxiana. Fergana is a valley in the southeast of Tashkent. His date of birth is not known, but he was born in the ninth century. According to historical documents, he was an astronomer under Caliph al-Mamun. Al-Fargani devoted himself to the study of astronomy. He was also a highly skilled engineer. In Baghdad, he was part of a group of scientists working to determine the diameter of the earth under the auspices of the 8th Abbasid Caliph al-Mamun. Fergani showed that the diameter of the planet Earth is 6500 miles.
He was also able to measure the diameters of other planets. He measured the farthest interplanetary distance. He later moved to Cairo. As an engineer, al-Fergani oversaw the construction of the Great Nilometer in Old Cairo. This nilemeter was a canal digging plan to bring water from Trigris. This canal was cut in 61 AD. Caliph Mutawakkul ordered the excavation of this canal. It was an engineering action to surprise. At that time, science was not used in the field of water flow. Fergani took engineering and technology far ahead.
He is called Pioneer in Applied Engineering. He has written a book on how planets and satellites orbit the solar system. There he gave details about the galaxy. This is a unique book in this regard. The name of the book is Jabami Lim Al Nujam '. The book was translated into Latin in the twelfth century. It gained a reputation as the 'Elements of Astronomy'. For a long time in Europe it was one of the major books on astronomy.
It can be called a representative book. His most famous book is Jhamee. It means elements. One of his other two famous books is Kitab Al Fasul Ikhtiyar Al Majesty or The book of Chapreens! This is the essence of Al Majest. The second is Kitab al Ayrukhamat or Book on the Construction of Sundials The book TIE has been translated into Latin. Later European astronomers owe a great deal to his translated books. In 97 AD, Abdul Aziz Al Karimi discussed in detail the book 'Jami' by Fergani. Its manuscript is still available at the Istanbul Museum. The last days of the great scientist's life were not known. However, he successfully tortured the caliph Mutawakkul. He relentlessly went along the path of acquiring knowledge. He was killed in 61 AD.
