Jabir bin Hayyan Ahli Kimia. Buku ini merupakan salah satu buku dari siri tokoh cendekiawan islam yang diterjemah oleh Abdul Karim Mustafa. Jabir bin Hayyan merupakan seorang cendekiawan Islam yang hidup 1200 tahun yang lalu. Beliau ialah ahli kimia yang mencipta kaedah amalai kimia. Beliau menganalisis proses campuran kimia dan hasil tindak balasnya. Jabir banyak memperkatakan tentang kandungan logam, unsure kimia dalam logam dan menemui hasil proses kimia lalu mengasaskan ilmu Balmazat, kimia berwarna, kimia pembersih dan racun. Selain itu, beliau jugak mengasaskan ilmu timbangan.
Hayyan, bapa kepada Jabir, tinggal di Tus timur laut Iran. Kehidupannya seharian adalah dengan aktiviti perniagaan ubat-ubatan dan wangian di tepi rumahnya. Mereka berhijrah dari Syria ke Tus Iran pada zaman berakhirnya kepimpinan khalifah Umar r.a yang mati akibat diracun. Jabir lahir ke dunia pada abad hijrah yang ke-2 bersamaan tahun 720 Masihi.
Sejak dari kecil Jabir telah menunjukkan minat dari segi kimia. Beliau banyak menimbulkan persoalan kepada bapanya tentang kejadian alam dan juga kenapa sesuatu itu berlaku. Pada zama khalifah Umayyah, Hayyan bapa jabir meninggal dunia. Beliau meninggalkan wasiat kepada Jabir. “ Allah tidak menciptakan manusia sepertimu untuk berperang mahupun untuk politik. Seseorang ulama itu seperti satu ummah dengan sendirinya. Ulama ialah pewaris para nabi pada setiap zaman dan tempat. Sekarang,pergilah merantau ke barat dan carilah ilmu. Tidak banyak ilmu yang terdapat di kawasan kita ini antara wilayah-wilayah Islam. Jabir, pergilah dari Tus apabila keadaan menjadi aman semula dan kuasa pemerintahan beralih kepada puak Alawiyyah atau puak Abbasiyyah.”
Kemudian Jabir menetap di Kuffah, sebuah ibu kota pimpinan Khalifah Ali bin Abi Talib. Di sini, Jabir telah dipertemukan dengan seorang Imam dan Faqih Jaafar as-Sadiq yang pernah menjadi sahabat ayahnya. Imam Jaafar merupakan seorang yang mempunyai ilmu yang mendalam tentang kimia. Jabir mempelajari serba sedikit dari imam Jaafar dan meminta imam itu supaya memberikannya beberapa buku supaya beliau dapat mendalami lagi ilmu kimia dari cendekiawan terdahulu. Imam Jaafar memberikan kitab Qaratis kepada Jabir untuk beliau dalami.
Setelah itu, Jabir membina makmalnya sendiri yang mempunyai system pengudaraan yang baik juga mempunyai relau yang bersistem. Sekarang waktu Jabir dibahagi dua. Pada siang hari dia akan berniaga di kedai ubat keluarganya dan pada sebelah malam dia berada di makmal atau bersama ahli keluarganya. Dari sini Jabir telah menemui larutan emas apabila cincin emas yang diletakkan di dalam balang bersama dengan asid nitric dan asid hidroklorik telah melarutkan emas itu. Penemuan-penemuan terawalnya ini dicatat dengan sebaiknya supaya boleh menjadi rujukan masyarakat akan datang. Jabir pada masa ini meneruskan serba sedikit pengajiannya bersama Imam Jaafar.
Ketika Imam Jaafar sudah kembali ke rahmatullah, beliau meninggalkan wasiat kepada Jabir. “ wahai Jabir, seberat-berat dugaan bagi insane ialah mengurangkan hak saudaranya, maka tuhan telah menimpakan balas ke atasnya. Apabila iman mantap, kebakhilan pun terhapus, seperti tercabutnya bulu dari kulit. Jabir, sesudah member hak keluargamu, janganlah kamu melebihkan seseorang daripada seseorang yang lain. Jikalau kamu berbuat begitu, nescaya kamu tergolong ke dalam golongan orang yang sesat. Jabir, terimalah penuntut-penuntut yangboleh mewarisi ilmu selepas kami. Berkat bimbingan dan ajaranmu, mereka akan dapat memanfaatkan kitab-kitabmu yang sukar difahami. Ilmu yang utama ialah ilmu amali, kemudian baharulah ilmu kitab.”
Kemudian Jabir berpindah ke Baghdad. Jabir ingin mewariskan ilmunya kepada seseorang. Namun, berpendapat bahawa anak-anaknya tidak berupaya untuk mewarisi ilmu beliau. Jabir telah mendapat anak murid baru bernama Izzuddin yang telah berkali-kali cuba mendekati beliau bagi mempelajari ilmu dari Jabir.
Setelah itu, lebih banyak ilmu-ilmu kimia yang ditemui oleh Jabir. Kaedah Jabir dan teori Jabir diformulakan. Dari situ, maka berkembanglah ilmu kimia yang ditemui oleh Jabir sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan oleh generasi yang berikutnya.
Jabir meniggal dunia pada umur 73 tahun masihi dengan mininggalkan banyak kitab yang telah diwariskan kepada anak muridnya Izzuddin. Jabir berpesan kepada Izzuddin supaya kitab-kitabnya diletakkan di perpustakaan Baitul-hikmah Baghdad.

Alchemy Research Paper

...the years. More often than not, a tested wrong answer is just as important as a correct one. It provides a foundation to test upon. Like many early scientific theories, Kanada’s early atomic theory has clear errors; however, it is still fundamentally similar to the modern theory. Abū Mūsā Jābir ibn Ḥayyān, born circa 721 in what is now Iran, proposed a similar theory of elements. The alchemist believed that there were four natures: hot, cold, dry, and wet. This theory, known as the Method of Balance, led Jābir to experiment with the transmutation of substances (Newman). If all substances were made up of four natures, would it not be possible to change the substance by changing the natures? Jābir also believed that all metals were composed of mercury and sulfur. By adding or removing mercury or sulfur, he believed one could change one metal into another (Newman). In his writings, Jābir gave detailed descriptions on the processes of alloying and purifying metals (Newman). His writings eventually became influential throughout the world. Many followed his beliefs and recreated his experiments. Over 500 years later, a Spanish Alchemist would adopt the name Geber (a Latinized version of Jābir) in hopes of promoting his works (“Geber”). Geber modified his namesakes’ theories and published his own works. Instead of metal being merely a mixture of mercury and sulfur, it was now pure mercury and sulfur was a corrupter (Newman). In his most famous book, Summa Perfectionis Megisterii, Geber...

Greek Use Of Deductive Reasoning

...Aristotle and other Greek philosophers believed that only pure thought was reliable and the senses could not be trusted. They used deductive reasoning, or going from one truth to another, such as “All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore Socrates is mortal.” This prevented verifiable experiments from taking place. Alchemists, on the other hand, used inductive reasoning by conducting experiments. Alchemists allowed for the advancement in science. The Greek idea that only thoughts were pure and that senses were tainted halted scientific progress, but the alchemists changed that. Abu Musa Jabir ibn Hayyan, a famous alchemist, said, “He who performs not practical work nor makes experiments will never attain to the least degree of mastery.”...

Science and Its Evolution

...Science and its Evolution Science which comes from the Latin word scire, to know, I would say is method of observing natural events and conditions so that we can discover facts about them and to formulate laws based on these observations. Another way of defining science is to say that it is the philosophy that the natural world can be known through human reason and that nature is rational, ordered and regular. When things seem irrational in human eyes, the scientific answer is to say that we don’t have enough data to solve the problem. Also, science has several branches under it such as biology, physics, geology, and astronomy, to name a few. Modern science has been evolving since the foundation was laid by the first scientists ways back then. It wasn’t always highly regarded; it emerged from the darkness of mysticism, alchemy, astrology, and better yet, sorcery. Metaphysics was the first attempt to give rational explanations for natural phenomena. Overall any field was used to try to give an explanation to unanswered questions, some people agree with these “answers” and some people don’t. Ancient civilizations practiced what we now refer to as applied science and mathematics. The discoveries made during these times were sought for practical uses. Counting could’ve been the fundamental beginning of recording information. (Isenhour, 2013) Babylonians, Egyptians and other ancient civilizations practiced astronomy and engineering. Astronomy was and is still useful for the...

Dari segi bahasa arab Assalamualaikum ia bermaksud " Selamat sejahtera ke atas kamu" dan dijawab dengan Waalaikumsalam pula bererti " di atas kamu juga selamat sejahtera" Mengikut hukum, setiap orang Islam dianjurkan memberi salam bila bertemu dengan saudara Islam walaupun pertemuan itu beberapa kali. Ia dihukum sunat dan diberi pahala. Walaubagaimanapun yang menjawab tu dihukumkan sebagai wajib. dan enggan menjawab salam dari saudara Islamnya adalah satu perbuatan dosa. Kenapa kita di tuntut sangat untuk memberi dan menjawab salam nih? Sebab terlalu banyak hadith-hadith yang menceritakan kelebihan memberi dan menjawab salam nih. Antaranya; Nabi Muhammad SAW telah bersabda: “Manusia yang terdekat dengan Allah SWT ialah mereka yang memulakan memberi salam.” (HR. Ahmad, Abu Daud) Nabi SAW ditanya apakah amalan yang terbaik dalam Islam. Baginda bersabda: “Memberi makan kepada yang lapar dan memberi salam kepada orang yang kamu kenali dan yang tidak kamu kenali.” (HR Bukhari dan Muslim) Pernah datang seorang lelaki kepada Rasulullah SAW lalu mengucapkan kepadanya ‘Assalaamu’alaikum’.

Stained Glass Through the Ages

...obsidian. Obsidian was a common material for weapons, jewelry and considered to be a currency. Initially glass was difficult to make. People were still working on the tools and techniques needed to create glass. In the first century BC the glass blowpipe was invented. This discovery revolutionized the glass making techniques, it was now faster, easier and cheaper to make. From there glass making and glass art spread throughout Europe and Northern Africa. The making of colored glass has also been around since ancient times. This process was also thought to have been born by Mesopotamians. Glass is made in colors by adding metals to the mix. Although the art of exact color making was not known until the 8th century when a Persian Chemist, Jabir ibn Hayyan created 46 recipes for creating colored glass. The oxidation of the metals is what ultimately results in the colored glass. The specific art of stained glass windows came about in ancient Roman times. Ancient Romans glazed glass into windows. The used blowing techniques to spin discs and made glass cylinders. The glass was not very transparent. Religions and Christian Churches in particular spurred the patronage of stained glass window making. One of the oldest examples of stained glass is found at the St Paul’s Monastery in Jarrow, England. The monastery was founded in 686 AD. The oldest complete European Windows were at Augsburg Cathedral in Germany. (Pictured below) The patronage of the arts...

Islam: The Misinterpretations Of Islam

...in the interest (maslahah) of the ummah [Muslim nation]. Thus, he has gone so far as to permit birth control, in view of the ummah’s suffering from overpopulation” On the other hand, more conservative scholars will cite 6:151 in the Qur’an stating, “do not kill your children fearing poverty.” It is fairly clear, though, that the majority opinion on birth control is that it is permissible. This being said, it will be important to look at the specifics within forms of contraception in Islam. Looking at how these interpretations translate into practice for modern Muslims, a more common conclusion is that “Muslim scholars also assumed that anything done during the Prophet’s time that he did not forbid must have been acceptable. The Companion Jabir b. ‘Abdallah thus reported, ‘We used to practice coitus interruptus during the time of the Prophet when the Quran was being revealed.’ Muslim scholars interpreted this as a major proof for the permissibility of birth control in Islam.” Hadiths and Qur’an often reference this method of coitus interruptus, and being the only explicit mentioning of any form of birth control, this largely constructs the idea that birth control may be practiced by Muslims while still continuing the straight path. Exploring the individual methods of birth control, acceptance varies from method to method. Natural family planning was practiced in the time of Muhammad, and is permitted as long as the conditions of mutual pleasure are met. Barrier methods are widely...

Obligatory Duty

...First of all, let me tell you that the justice of Allah Almighty is perfect justice; it does not allow for any kind of partisanship towards the male to the detriment of the female. The Qur'an makes this perfectly clear. *{If any do deeds of righteousness,— be they male or female — and have faith, they will enter Heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them}* (An-Nisaa' 4:124) To put my answer in a framework, I find it necessary to make the following distinctions, especially in the area of women in Islam. There is a difference between:    1. A ‘popular’ narration and an ‘authentic’ narration.    2. ‘Islam’ and ‘Muslims.’    3. Islamic ‘Shari’ah’ and Islamic ‘madhahib.’    4. The ‘Scriptures’ and the ‘interpretation of the Scriptures.’ First, there are popular narrations that say that ‘most occupiers of hell are women,’ ‘women are deficient in mind and faith,’ ‘women are crooked,’ ‘your bad omen is in your woman,’ and so on. I can tell you with confidence that all these narration are un-authentic (or ‘weak’), whoever the narrator is and wherever they are narrated and written. Without getting ourselves in much debate and discussing who ‘out-narrates’ who, the reason behind the rejection of such narrations is that they are at odds with the Quran.  Let me take one of these narrations and assess its authenticity, as an example. According to Bukhari, Abu Hurairah, narrated: ‘Your bad omen is in your woman, your animal, and your house.’ However, Bukhari also...

Lavoisier Research Paper

...alchemy. It was the first time metal transmutation and modern elements were mentioned. Predictably, such explanations were based off of spiritual assumptions. For example: sulphurous water being divine water, and vapours of mercury were baptismal waters (Schorlemmer, 2). Zosimos' understanding of alchemy reflects the influence of Hermetic and Gnostic mythology. When distancing ourselves from ancient Greece and moving closer to the muslim world of 7th and 8th century A.D, a change begins to appear in alchemical methodology. The public of the time found comfort with the findings and theories of Zosimos, Aristotle and Empedocles. The findings of ancient Greece remained relevant until the late 700s. Until a prominent alchemist appeared named Jābir ibn Hayyān (Geber). He proposed a new theory, the sulphur-mercury theory. Geber believed that changes in the “attraction” and “repulsion” of substances under the earth produced sulphur and mercury, two elements that, in combination, formed other metals (Kauffman, 5). At first, Geber thought because sulphur was usually found in gold mines and since mercury was extracted from crushed ore, it led Geber to believe that metals were a combination of these two substances. Geber in part, used rationalistic explanation like Aristotle and a new practice based on scientific methodology and controlled experimentation in a laboratory. Following such events, Gerber began to employ Zosimos’s drawing of distillation and sublimation machines to craft his...
