03Third: idea one — al-Biruni's rank among scholars

  • Al-Biruni is one of the great scholars in whom the golden age of Arab science was marked, and one of the mightiest minds in the history of the world and the greatest scholars of his age.

The testimonies of the orientalists

  • Meyerhof (a German orientalist): al-Biruni's name is the most prominent name in the procession of the great, wide-horizoned scholars with whom Islamic civilisation is adorned.
  • An American orientalist: in any list of the greatest scholars, al-Biruni must have a high place.
  • And no enquiry in mathematics, astronomy, geography, history, anthropology or mineralogy is complete without acknowledging his great contribution.

What the testimonies signify

  • The writer cites them because they are non-Arab testimonies, so they are stronger in effect when it comes to convincing.
