He is best known for his Muqaddimah. * Ibn Sina, widely regarded as the father of early modern medicine as well as the father of Clinical Pharmacology. His most famous work is the Canon of Medicine. * 'Ali ibn al-'Abbas al-Majusi, also known as Haly Abbas: founder of anatomic physiology". In addition, the section on dermatology in his Kamil as-sina'ah at-tibbiyah (Royal book-Liber Regius) has one scholar to regard him as the "father of Arabic dermatology". * Al-Biruni: the "founder of Indology", "father of comparative religion" and geodesy, and "first anthropologist" titles for his remarkable description of early 11th-century India. Georg Morgenstierne regarded him as "the founder of comparative studies in human culture". Al-Biruni is also known as the "father of Islamic pharmacy". * Al-Khwarizmi: most renowned as the "father of algebra" Al-Khwarizmi had such huge influence on the field of mathematics that it is attributed to him the eponymous word 'algorithm' as well as 'algebra'. * Ibn Hazm: father of comparative religion and "honoured in the West as that of the founder of the science of comparative religion". Alfred Guillaume refers to him the composer of "the first systematic higher critical study of the Old and New testaments". However, William Montgomery Watt disputes the claim, stating that Ibn Hazm's work was preceded by earlier works in Arabic and that "the aim was polemical and not descriptive". * Al-Farabi: regarded as the "founder of Islamic/Arab Neoplatonism" and by some as the "father of formal logic in the Islamic world". * Muhammad al-Idrisi: father of world map * Averroes (Ibn Rushd) (1126-1198): known in west as The Commentator, "father of free thought and unbelief" and has been described by some as the "father of rationalism" and the "founding father of secular thought in Western Europe". Ernest Renan called Averroes the absolute rationalist, and regarded him as the father of freethought and dissent. * Rhazes: His treatise on Diseases in Children has led many to consider him the "father of pediatrics". He has also been praised as the "real founder of clinical medicine in Islam". * Muhammad al-Shaybani: the father of Muslim international law. * Ismail al-Jazari: Father of Automaton and Robotics. * Suhrawardi: founder of the Illuminationist school of Islamic philosophy. * Al-Tusi, "father of trigonometry" as a mathematical discipline in its own right. * Seyyed Hossein Nasr: the 'founding father' of Islamic ecotheology. * Ahmed Zewail, the “father of femtochemistry” (en) |
