Ibn al-Haytham

Father of Modern Optics and Pioneer of the Scientific Method

Every camera and lens today carries the trace of a scholar from Basra who proved that light enters the eye rather than leaving it. The twenty-fourth book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of Ibn al-Haytham: author of Kitab al-Manazir, investigator of the camera obscura, and the scholar who taught us to test before we believe. “And He made for you hearing and vision and intellect.”

“And Allah has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing and vision and intellect that perhaps you would be grateful.”
