Title: Ibn Sina: Who Was He? Live: https://iqra.falahos.my/ibn-sina-who-was-he/
Episode summary
First episode of the "Al-Shifa" mini-arc. Opens with a bridge from the Thomas Aquinas episode (Ibn Rushd's debt and break with Latin Europe), then tells Ibn Sina's story with real narrative texture: child prodigy in Samanid Bukhara, access to the royal library after treating Nuh ibn Mansur, the collapse of the Samanid dynasty in 999, his itinerant life as physician/vizier/political fugitive across Gurganj, Jurjan, Rayy, and Hamadan, and the circumstances under which he composed the encyclopedic Kitab al-Shifa (The Book of Healing) — covering logic, mathematics, natural science, and metaphysics, including the essence/existence distinction and the Necessary Existent.
