Ibn Rushd was born in Córdoba, in southern Spain, in 1126.
Ibn Rushd was to produce more than 100 books and treatises in his lifetime, and it was in Marrakech that he began his first philosophical work, sometime before 1159.
Ibn Rushd devoted himself to a broad continuum of intellectual subjects, as did many of his contemporaries: The workings of the human body, the movement of the stars, the relationship of reason to religion, and the logic of the law were all suitable subjects of inquiry for a Muslim man of letters.

Part of this philosophy is derived from the Greeks, especially from Plato and Aristotle, whom Ibn Rushd admired and on whose works he wrote numerous commentaries and paraphrases-books that to a large extent won him the respect he enjoyed in the West, where the struggle to reconcile science and faith still goes on.
The Islamic rejection of Ibn Rushd as a philosopher is no doubt partly because of the criticism that he subordinated religion to philosophy, suggesting that scientific research could teach people more than the revelations of faith-a criticism also leveled at him by the Catholic church in the West.
Ibn Rushd's great importance to western thought lies in his making available many of the philosophical works of ancient Greece, particularly those of Plato and Aristotle, but his most notable work is his commentary on Plato's Republic.

Ibn Sina and the other renegades were devout Muslims, of course, and believed, as did al-Ghazali, that the world stood in relation to God as effect to cause.
Ibn Sina, Neoplatonist that he was, had argued that cause and effect were simultaneous with existence.
Thus we have the striking contrast of al-Ghazali and ibn Sina, both of whom considered themselves as representing the correct interpretation of both the Qur'an and Aristotelian thought, and they were both considered by their peers to be good Muslims, which of course they both were.

Abu ‘Ali al-Husayn ibn Sina, known universally to the West as Avicenna (980-1037), was one of the greatest scholars of the Islamic world, though less remarkable as a physician than as a philosopher and physicist.
Ibn Sina concentrated the legacy of Greek medical knowledge with the addition of the Arabs’ contribution in his gigantic Canon of Medicine (al-Qanun fi’t- Tibb), which is the culmination and masterpiece of Arabic systematization.

 The influence of Ibn Sina and Razi
Some time between 1170 and his death in 1187 Gerard of Cremona, the greatest of the Toledo translators, made the first translation into Latin of the Canon of Avicenna, at the command, it is said, of Frederick Barbarossa.
A good knowledge of Arabic and the assistance of a native Christian writer, Ibn Ghalib, allowed Gerard to put forth in his own lifetime an enormous number of translations.

His remaining years were crowded with adventure and hard work, yet he somehow found time to write 20 books on theology, metaphysics, astronomy, philology and poetry and 20 more on medicine - including Kitab al-Shifa', or The Book of Healing, a medical and philosophical encyclopedia.
At the same time Ibn Sina laid out the basic rules of clinical drug trials, principles that are still followed today (click here for details).
Despite their belief in now superseded theories such as humors and miasmas, the medicine of Ibn Sina, Al- Razi and their contemporaries is the basis of much of what we take for granted today.

But now, with the translations by Gerard of Cremona, beginning to infiltrate the West, we see the impact on the famed Italian surgeons: Bruno Longoburgo, Hugh of Lucca and his son Theodoric, and William of Saliceto, all of Bologna, and Lanfranc of Milan.
In this development of surgery, we see the penetration of the next phase of Muslim teachings in the field, from the works of the masters: Ibn Sina and Al-Zahrawi who had been translated by Gerard.
Explanations given by Ibn Qurrah, Al Razi, Ibn Sina and Al Zahrawi about the formation and growth of urinary stones do not basically differ from modern concepts.

Simon Cephas was not bishop of Rome, least of all not for twenty-five years; he could not have selected Zephyrinus, who was active a century and a half after his own time, as his successor; and again Zephyrinus could not have ordained Serapion, who already had ascended the throne almost a decade earlier.
On the basis of such leadership, it is hard to avoid drawing an inference as to the kind and number of those subject to him.

Herodotus gives statistics[56] of Babylon in the fifth century B.C.--walls 300 feet high, 75 feet broad, and 58 miles in circuit; three- and four-storied houses laid out in blocks; broad straight streets intersecting one another at regular intervals, at right angles or parallel to the Euphrates.
Any one who reads Herodotus' description of Babylon or Ibn Serapion's of Bagdad, and considers that these vast urban masses were merely centres of collection and distribution for the open country, can infer the density of population and intensity of cultivation over the face of the _Sawâd_.
