Ibn Rushd (Averroes)
-------------------
Abū 'l-Walīd Muammad ibn Amad ibn Rushd (Arabic: أبو الوليد محمد بن احمد بن رشد‎), better known as Ibn Rushd (Arabic: ابن رشد‎), and in European literature as Averroes (1126 – 1198), was an Andalusian Muslim polymath; a master of Islamic philosophy, Islamic theology, Maliki law and jurisprudence, logic, psychology, politics, Arabic sound theory, and the sciences of medicine, astronomy, geography, mathematics, physics and celestial mechanics. He was born in Córdoba, Al Andalus, modern-day Spain, and died in Marrakesh, modern-day Morocco. His school of philosophy is known as Averroism. He has been described by some as the founding father of secular thought in Western Europe and "one of the spiritual fathers of Europe," although other scholars oppose such claims.

His name is also seen as Averroës, Averroès or Averrhoës, indicating that the "o" and the "e" form separate syllables. Averroes is a Latinate distortion of the actual Arab name Ibn Rushd.

Ibn Rushd came from a family of Islamic legal scholars; his grandfather Abu Al-Walid Muhammad (d. 1126) was chief judge of Qurtabah (Córdoba) under the Almoravid dynasty. His father, Abu Al-Qasim Ahmad, held the same position until the coming of the Almohad dynasty in 1146.

Ibn Rushd began his career with the help of Ibn Tufail ("Aben Tofail" to the West), the author of Hayy ibn Yaqdhan and philosophic vizier of Almohad amir Abu Yaqub Yusuf. It was Ibn Tufail who introduced him to the court and to Ibn Zuhr ("Avenzoar" to the West), the great Muslim physician, who became Ibn Rushd's teacher and friend. Ibn Rushd later reported how it was also Ibn Tufail that inspired him to write his famous commentaries on Aristotle:

"Abu Bakr ibn Tufayl summoned me one day and told me that he had heard the Commander of the Faithful complaining about the disjointedness of Aristotle's mode of expression — or that of the translators — and the resultant obscurity of his intentions. He said that if someone took on these books who could summarize them and clarify their aims after first thoroughly understanding them himself, people would have an easier time comprehending them. “If you have the energy,” Ibn Tufayl told me, “you do it. I'm confident you can, because I know what a good mind and devoted character you have, and how dedicated you are to the art. You understand that only my great age, the cares of my office — and my commitment to another task that I think even more vital — keep me from doing it myself." read more

"'n Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en 'n Blog gerig op die Afrikaanssprekende Christen:

Terwyl die Teoloë en Akademici van ons land se Christelike Kerke, soos Allah wil, al meer skryf oor die feit dat die vergoddeliking van Jesus oor 'n tydperk van jare onstaan het, is die gewone Kerklidmate salig onbewus daarvan dat hulle "saligmaker" toe nou nie so 'n betroubare waarborg tot die Hemel is nie. Die vraag wat Moslems hulleself moet afvra is: "Wat doen ek om te help om my Christen vriende en -kliënte van hierdie tragedie bewus te maak.

Wel, hoekom verwys jy nie net jou vriende na hierdie Webtuiste en Blog toe nie? Mens weet nooit, soos Allah wil...: www.koraninafrikaans.com en: www.letterdash.com/saad"
