Everything about Muhammad Al-fazari totally explained
Abu abdallah Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Fazari (d. 796 or 806) was a
Muslim philosopher,
mathematician and
astronomer. He isn't to be confused with his father
Ibrahim al-Fazari, also an astronomer and mathematician.
While some sources refer to him as an
Arab, other sources state that he was a
Persian.
Al-Fazari translated many scientific books into
Arabic and
Persian. He is credited to have built the first
astrolabe in the
Islamic world.
Along with
Yaqub ibn Tariq and his father he helped translate the Indian astronomical text by
Brahmagupta (fl. 7th century), the
Brahmasphutasiddhanta, into Arabic as
Az-Zīj ‛alā Sinī al-‛Arab., or the
Sindhind. This translation was possibly the vehicle by means of which the
Hindu numerals were transmitted from
India to Islam.
