You may have heard of Al-Biruni, whose full name is Abu Rayhan Al-Biruni. In this article, I will tell you about Al-Biruni. I believe that everyone in the world should know about Al-Biruni, especially our youth. These are the people who are our heroes and whose contributions are not only individual, but also social, but also global. When we say that we had a golden age, may God bring that age back, these are the golden people of that age. I will try to tell you about Al-Biruni, the first Sina, Omar Khayyam, Abu al-Hashim, Qasim al-Hadari, Ibn Rushit, and all these people in a series. Those young people who have not read this or have not had time to follow it, will be able to learn everything about Al-Biruni through my this article, or they will be able to learn as much as they need. The region of present-day Uzbekistan, which includes Tashkol and Zumrat, is a region there, Khawarzah was born in Khwarazm. He was born at the end of the tenth century, that is, in 973 AD, and he was born to completely unknown parents. But as soon as he was born, he was very intelligent as a child, so he very quickly started searching for his knowledge in the field of knowledge. At that time, there were no schools, institutions, colleges, you had to find a scholar, and now you go to the service of scholars and live with these scholars. So he also started this journey from childhood. And this area was an academic area at that time. At that time, when he grew up a little, Mahmud Ghaznavi was ruling there. It was the rule of the Ghazvi family. And he went to one scholar, then to another scholar, spent a period of time in the third scholar here, went through a trial, and in his youth, he simultaneously studied mathematics. Mathematics, physics, astronomy, astrology, astronomy, and the comparison of ancient civilizations with each other. If you bring them together, it becomes a philosophy. These were his fields. It is very surprising to reach the top in so many fields. One of his methods of studying was that he went to the world and then after some time he built his own laboratory and during his journey he took all his equipment with him. He spent a lot of time in Harz. But during his journey he also went to the Central States and he had a great journey to India. When I will tell you about it on the occasion, I will tell you one by one what his achievements are in astronomy. In this, he achieved a feat that humans did not know before. He measured the distances between the stars and the Earth. He devised a method of measuring the world, which we call the longitude lines, which are its latitudes, and you see that without any measures, without any measurements, by using sunlight and mathematical calculations, the map of the earth that he derived is almost the same as that which is now derived from side effects. So this and this method, the movement of the earth, the movement of the earth and its relationship with the sky and its relatives, are his very valuable services in this regard and regular research has been done. His material is and there are books on mathematics and geometry. In it, he explained the shapes that he has, for example, what are the principles of a circle, what are the principles of a circle, what is the relationship of the angles of a triangle. (The movement of the earth and its relationship with its celestial relatives are his very valuable services in this regard and regular research has been done on his material and there are books on it. In it, he explained the shapes that he has, for example, what are the principles of a circle, what is a circle, what is the relationship of the angles of a triangle, how to calculate it and how to incorporate it in mathematics) I have explained all these things in simple terms, but he also discovered such things within geometry and mathematics that are present in the form of his books and he was a torchbearer for the people who came after him, especially the West, who were influenced by some Eastern scholars and philosophers and thinkers. Among them is Al-Biruni, and Al-Biruni’s work is still there and in the beginning when this Western civilization developed, it is still there as a reference book in the universities there, but in the beginning, all this was as a guiding principle. The knowledge of the third was used well. The field that I have told you about is physics. In it, he has done a lot of research on the properties of many metals, the physical features of different metals and materials, and all the work that he has done. In addition to that, as I have told you, his very large area and foot trust history. And when Mahmud Ghaznavi invaded India, he came here with Mahmud Ghaznavi in the army on one of his trips. After that, he was a Hindu. And when he came to India, he was known before that he was a great scholar. But in the books, it is found that those who were the Pandits here, who were experts in Sanskrit, and the teachers here, who were gurus, sat in front of him just like students and they learned from him everything that could be learned from him. Some people believe that he also learned Sanskrit, which was his mother tongue, but at that time, the language that is Persian was actually the language of the court. And this is because Mahmud Ghaznavi had given a very good place to religion in the court and he was valued as a scholar. Like Abu Bakr, he had affairs in Persian. And then all the scholars of that time were scholars of religion as well, so he had a horse in Arabic, but he had a great time learning. When he came to India, he started learning Sanskrit as well and many other things. And there he fought a battle and wrote a book which was also ordered by Ghaznavi. Its name is Kitab al-Hind. It contains the civilization of this entire region, their religion, their society, their language, their interaction with the rest of the world. It is a kind of encyclopedia on the history of India and the basic culture here. Kitab al-Hind was written by him. The rest of his books are in Arabic, which are on every subject. And as I told you, he traveled a lot and the myths he created are very interesting.the exact principles of inquiry under which we do an objective research, all their work was in accordance with the objective research difference, that is why their evidence was that it was welded, its credibility was very high, it was acceptable, which was later adopted by the West or the West also endorsed it, which was a lot of his things and there they went beyond the knowledge they had, then they took the knowledge to the top, and Al-Biruni was lucky in that he was alive in that era, there were two great people of his and contemporary, one was Bu ali Sina and I, God willing, in the next video or in some vegetable quantity video, I will also tell you about the policy of Na and that too, which would be very great to know who that Wali Sina was. All these are also of interest to Bu Ali Sina. But his main interest was medicine, and his book Al-Qanun was taught in universities for a long time. In addition to Al-Qanun, he corresponded with another great figure, Bu Ali Sina, because both were in the same condition. Another great figure was Abu al-Haytham. About I will also tell you about Abu al-Hashim, God willing, by writing another article. He also had a correspondence with Abu al-Hassan and these contemporaries were from the same era. And this one was also 10 years down in 100 A.D. 48. He passed away at the age of 75. Police was one of those people whose legacy was recognized in his lifetime. He is very famous in his lifetime. His books were well-received and his work was well-received. He did not establish any formal institution, but wherever he went, a whole group of his disciples would accompany him. Many people would come to sit in his company and learn from him. These are our shining stars. So, you should read more about him in detail. Tell your children this story. Tell your children how he was able to speak in many congresses without being recognized. With no background, how did he do such great things and perform such certificate experiments that were later made possible by many gadgets and machinery, and he solved many problems based on his imagination and mathematical equations, so this was Al-Biruni. We pray for him, may Allah Almighty grant him the mercy of his guardian, may Allah Almighty accept the work he did, and may Allah Almighty make it easy for him in the Hereafter. Thank you.
