Abstract

This article describes the important roles of Ibnu Sina and Al-Razi in the development of science and medicine in the medieval Islamic world. Ibnu Sina was known as a polymath who combined philosophy, medicine and natural sciene. His most famous work, “Kitab Al-Qanun fi al-Tibbâ€, became a reference work in medicine and philosophy that was very influential. Al-Razi, meanwhile, was an accomplished physician-scientist. His work, “Kitab ak-Hawi ‘, was one of the first medical encyclopedias in history that combined knowledge from Greek, Persian and Arabic cultures. This article will review Al-Razi’s discoveries and contributions in the fields of medicine, chemistry and pharmacology. It will provide a deeper understanding of the role of Ibnu Sina and Al-Razi in the history of Islamic science and medicine and how their contributions are still relevant in the development of modern science.
