Sina became a palace
physician at the
age of eighteen
due to this success.
Thanks to
this task,
he got into
the rich
library of
the palace
and had the opportunity
to read
and study medical
works. After a
while, he had the opportunity
to read many
physicians and thinkers whom
he had not even heard their names in
the library.At the age of 18 he learned all the sciences
of his age. Upon the proposal of Ebü’l-Hüseyin
el-Arüzi to write a comprehensive book on
science and philosophy for himself, he wrote a
work called “al-Hikmetü ‘l-’ Aruziyye” that covers
all sciences except mathematics.
This important scientist, who left hundreds of
works behind, at a time when the microscope
was not discovered,stated that, “It is a wolf that
makes every disease. Unfortunately we have no
tools to see it.” He drew attention with his words,
and he made a breakthrough in medical science.
Being at the top of the Islamic philosophical tradition
that started with Kindî, İbn Sînâ is a student
and successor of Fârâbî in the field of philosophy,
but is an important scientist who has
surpassed his master.
KATİP ÇELEBİ
Being trained by virtuous and famous scholars
of his time, he filled the deficiencies in the education
of the madrasah. He knew Arabic, Persian
and a little Latin. He was a sophisticated scholar.
He continued his studies in a wide range from
religious sciences, literature, history, geography,
calculus, astronomy, literature and medicine. He
spent his life reading, writing and searching.
Kâtib Çelebi, who had a dignified personality, did
not like satire very much. It is known that there is
a delight and curiosity, such as growing flowers,
even growing blue, hyacinth hyacinths. It is stated
that one of the sources of his era, Kâtib Çelebi
was extremely fond of books and was mostly engaged
in historical and biographical works. Kâtip
Çelebi did not hesitate to examine many books to
illuminate a historical event. For example, when
writing the Arabic Fezleke, he stated that he had
overviewed 1300 works.
Franz Babinger described him as the Sufi of the
Ottomans. Various works of Kâtib Çelebi, and especially
Keşfü-Zunûn, have become a basic reference
work that is practiced by almost everyone
who studies Islam in the West. Kâtib Çelebi dealt
with the issues which aroused in the Ottoman
state and social order to emerge during his life
or earlier, and tried to solve them. In this respect,
Kâtib Çelebi is also a witness who witnessed the
period he lived in. Kâtib Çelebi has been an important
follower of Ibn Haldun in various ways.
Emphasizing that science is important for the
continuation of social life, Kâtib Çelebi stated
that establishing a healthy relationship between
religion and life can only be achieved through
science.
