Ibn Sīnā: The Genius of Faith and Reason

Ebook Title: Ibn Sīnā: The Genius of Faith and Reason

Description:

Known in the West as Avicenna, Ibn Sīnā was one of the greatest minds in Islamic and world history — a towering figure in medicine, philosophy, and science, whose influence spanned centuries. This ebook explores the life, works, and spiritual worldview of this remarkable 11th-century Persian scholar.

Born in the golden age of Islamic civilization, Ibn Sīnā mastered Qur’anic studies, logic, and metaphysics by his teens, and by his early twenties, he had authored foundational medical texts — most notably Al-Qānūn fī al-Ṭibb (The Canon of Medicine), which remained a standard in Europe and the Muslim world for over 600 years.

This ebook uncovers:

• His early life, intellectual development, and spiritual influences

• His major works in medicine, metaphysics, logic, and psychology

• How he harmonized Islamic faith with rational inquiry

• Controversies around his philosophical interpretations within the Muslim world

• His lasting legacy in Islamic civilization, the European Renaissance, and beyond

Through historical sources and Islamic perspectives, this book offers a unique look into how Ibn Sīnā exemplified the harmony between divine revelation and human intellect — a legacy still relevant in today’s quest for knowledge and truth.
