al-Khwarizmi

Mathematician of the House of Wisdom, Author of al-Jabr Which Gave Algebra Its Name

Every time we say “algebra” or “algorithm”, we say the name of a Muslim scholar in Baghdad. The eighteenth book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of al-Khwarizmi: author of the book of al-Jabr, written for the needs of inheritance, wills and trade, and the man who spread place-value numerals to the world. “… that you may know the number of years and account [of time].”

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ ضِيَآءً وَٱلۡقَمَرَ نُورًا وَقَدَّرَهُۥ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعۡلَمُواْ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلۡحِسَابَۚ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٍ يَعۡلَمُونَ

“It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases — that you may know the number of years and account [of time] …”
