Muhammad bin Zakariya ar-Razi, a prolific author, was one of the most brilliant medieval scholars, writing on philosophy, Logic, Astronomy, and Physical Science. After completing his medical education in Baghdad, Muhammad bin Zakariya ar-Razi collected data and wrote his first medical book based on his hospital experience. His second book, Al-Tibb al Mansuri, discusses the art of healing and covers anatomy, Physiology, dietetics, health preservation, Toxicology, Pathology, and fever. His third book, At-tibb Ar-Rohani, deals with the moral and psychological ills of the human spirit.

Muhammad bin Zakariya ar-Razi’s most comprehensive book was al Hawi Fi at-Tib, an encyclopedia of medical science that combined Greek and Muslim medical knowledge. The Jewish physician Faraj bin Salem translated it into Latin in 1292 under the title Continens.

In fact, Jewish philosophers such as Ibn Maymun, known as Maimonides (d. 1204), Yahuda ben Solomon Cohen and Aveicebron, who were the main glory of intellect, were students of Ibn Rushd and Arabic philosophy. The Islamic philosophy floats high above all racism that gave freedom and protection to minorities and the Jews who translated the Arabic works into Hebrew (12th to 14th century).

Rom Landau stated in his book, “The Arab Heritage of Western Civilization,” that “Averroism became the chief doctrine of the philosophical schools of Paris, Padua, and Bologna. Veerroism helped lay the foundation for the Renaissance.”
