He is not to be confused with Rhazes, also known as al-Razi. Name فخرالدين الرازى Fakhr-al-Din Abu-Abd-Allah Muhammad Ibn Umar ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn al-Razi, also known as Imam Fakhr al-Razi or Imam Radhi Biography Born in Rayy, Persia (Iran), just south of present-day Tehran. He was born in a Shafi'ite and Ash`arite family. His father was Diya al-Din `Umar who taught him Islamic religious sciences before he went to study with other Muslim savants. Al-Razi travelled to many places such as Bukhara, Khwarazm and Transoxiana and held discussions with local savants. Al-Razi was a prolific and encyclopedic writer and scholar based on his more than sixty complete works. He was a philosopher, historian, mathematician, astronomer, physician, theologian and exegesist. His opponents were the Hanbalites who opposed philosophy, Kalam and mysticism, and the Batinites and Qarmatians of whose al-Razi criticized the teachings. Al-Razi's works on theology and on Kalam include the books al-Arba`in fi Usul al-Din and al-Mas'il al-Khamsun fi Usul al-Din. In his al-Arba`in fi Usul al-Din, al-Razi presented forty issues in the principles of religion, such as religious cosmology, theology, ethics, prophecy, eschatology and imamate. Meanwhile, al-Masa'il al-Khamsun fi Usul al-Din is a more brief presentation of similar themes or topics. He travelled to Khawarzim and Khurasan, and finally to Herat, Afghanistan, where he died in 1210. Quotes The world is a garden, whose gardener is the state; The state is the sultan whose guardian is the Law; The Law is a policy, which is protected by the kingdom; The kingdom is a city, brought into being by the army; The army is made secure by wealth; Wealth is gathered from the subjects; The subjects are made servents by justice; Justice is the axis of the prosperity of the world. -Jami' al-'ulum Source: wikipedia.org Previous Next Related links: Abu Wafa Buzjani, mathematician.
