		Al Farabi maintained that philosophy could find a fertile land to flourish in Islam, and that it was in its decline in the west.
		Al Farabi should have been flattered with this title, as he himself was an illustrious analyst of both Aristotle’s and Plato’s ideas and works.
		As a religion, to Al Farabi, the Mulsim faith was able to present truth in a symbolic manner to non-philosophers, who are not quite capable to find truth in its genuine existence.

	Muslim American Society
		Al Farabi perceived Islamic brotherhood as requiring that the citizens be like members of an organic body, that labor be according to competence and reward according to capacity.
		Unlike al Farabi, who envisaged the ideal society as one based on brotherhood and wisdom and led by a prophet-king, Ibn Sina denigrated society by declaring it hopelessly committed to mediocrity and opposition to the elite philosophers.
		Al Farabi was more successful in his social theory, where he combined the sound insights of Plato with the requisites of Islam, and avoided what contradicted it.

		We may then conclude that the interval between the tones produced by the open string Bamm and its index finger fret is equal to that between the index finger fret on the Mathna and its ring finger fret.
		Of the three middle finger positions used, let it suffice for us to consider one of them, the wusta al Zalzal.
		If we descend to the Zalzal middle finger position on the Bamm { 27/22 }, we would find no note equivalent to it in the second octave.

		Such usage constitutes language and is conventional, being part of a form of life in which, say, we understand that particular sounds (al, bayt, saghir) denote particular objects (house) or relations (of size) and so on.
		Grammar provides the rules for these conventional uses of sounds, expressions, and words within language.56 In human speech, we use sounds by convention in expressions to refer to meanings; in written language, letters represent expressions and convey meanings because they follow agreed conventions.

		Aristotle also contended with success against the theories of Plato, Socrates, and the theists who had preceded him, and separated himself entirely from them; but he could not eliminate from his doctrine the stains of infidelity and heresy which disfigure the teaching of his predecessors.
		Here they can no longer satisfy the laws of rigorous argumentation such as logic demands, and this is what explains the disputes which arise between them in the study of metaphysics.
