| | THE IRANIAN: Abu Ali Sina, Avicenna, Farid Parsa |
 | | Avicenna did not profess his faith in any particular religion, although he was suspected to be an Ismaili. | | | Avicenna and Masihi fled to Gurgan, near the Caspian Sea, hoping to seek asylum in the local Persian dynasty, with king Qabus who was renowned for his passion for science and philosophy. | | | While he in hiding, the king is struck by colic for the second time and Avicenna is summoned again to treat him. |

| | Avicenna/Ibn Sina [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | An old and contentious presentation of Avicenna as a polymath rooted in the mystical experience of God. | | | In the later Iranian tradition, Avicenna’s thought was critically distilled with mystical insight, and he became known as a mystical thinker, a view much disputed in more recent scholarship. | | | Abu ‘Ali al-Husayn ibn Sina is better known in Europe by the Latinized name “Avicenna.” He is probably the most significant philosopher in the Islamic tradition and arguably the most influential philosopher of the pre-modern era. |

| | Avicenna (Health, Medicine, Sickness, Disease) |
| | To Avicenna the whole of the universe is the manifestation of a universal principle of life, acting through the instrumentality of forms. | | | There is, for example, the Persian Avicenna, born in the last quarter of the tenth century, A.D., one of the illustrious "Arabian" philosopher-physicians who are credited with virtually creating the science of medicine for the West. | | | Ibn Tufail seems to say that Avicenna had a kind of esoteric doctrine called hikmat-al-ishraq, 'philosophy of illumination,' which really contained his true ideas. |

| | JewishEncyclopedia.com - AVICENNA (ABU ALI IBN ABDALLAH IBN SINA): |
| | In other words, he held that while all things are primarily traceable to the agency of an immutable Deity, they can not owe their existence to the immediate influence of such a Deity, inasmuch as the immutable can not itself create substances subject to the element of change. | | | The cause that produces, however, must also conserve, for cause and effect are identical; from which it follows that the world itself, like God, must be eternal. | | | It was among the latter, rather than in Arabian Spain—where the influence of Averroes was predominant—that Avicenna's works attained their greatest popularity. |

| | Avicenna, an ethnic Persian who spent his whole life in the eastern and central regions of Iran, received his earliest education in Bukhara under the direction of his father. | | | He took the first steps upon a path toward mystical theosophy that marked the direction that Islamic philosophy was to follow in the future, especially in Persia and the other eastern lands of Islam. | | | In the East his dominating influence in medicine, philosophy, and theology has lasted over the ages and is still alive within the circles of Islamic thought. |
