Abu Ali al-Husayn ibn Abdullah ibn Sina, 
known in the West as Avicenna, was the 
outstanding philosopher, physician, scientist, 
and mathematician who lived around 980-1037 
AD. He was born in the village of Afshana near 
Bukhara. He is also known as al-Sheikh al-Rais 
which means «The Sage of the Sages» a title that 
was given him by his students. In the West he 
was famous as the «Prince of Physicians» for his 
famous “al-Qanun” (The Canon).
By the age of 10 ibn Sina would memorize 
and recite the holy Koran. His next six years, 
the young man devoted to studying Islam 
Jurisprudence, Philosophy, Logic and Natural 
Science and became familiar with Euclid and

Tips for sufficient autobiography: 
double-spaced and in standard font at least four pages 
without a cover page no need for references since you are 
writing about your own reflections
Almagest. At the age of 17 ibn Sino became interested 
in Medicine and considered it, as he used to say 
himself, «not difficult». By this time, he was already 
a practicing physician, mostly self-taught.
Ibn Sina is well known for his great contribution 
to Medicine and Philosophy, he wrote about 450 
works of which 240 are extant. His most famous and 
important books were the Book of Healing «Kitab ash- 
Shifa» and the “The Canon of Medicine” (al-Qanun fi 
al-Tibb). It is considered to be the largest ever written 
medical reference with more than one million words. 
The canon remained the world’s most important 
source on the subject, till the XVIIth century. It was 
translated into Latin by Gerard of Cremona in the 
XIIth century.
Ibn Sino was able to diagnose cancer and used 
surgical operations to remove it. He also attributed 
stomach ulcers to psychological factors, such
as tension and depression, 
and physical factors 
affecting the sto­
mach. He used to 
ascribc infections on the air 
to some diseases. This led 
to the use of quarantines 
to control the spread of 
infectious diseases.
Many worldwide fa­
mous doctors would refer 
to his works as the most 
reliable source until XVII- 
XVIIIth centuries. His portrait 
hangs in the Hall of the 
Faculty of Medicine in 
the University of Paris.
