Jabir Ibn Hayyan – The Father of Chemistry | Legacy of the Great Muslim Scientist

Описание: Jabir Ibn Hayyan, also known as Geber in the Middle Ages, is widely regarded as the Father of Chemistry. Born in Kufa, Iraq, in the 8th century, he transformed alchemy into experimental science, laying the foundations of modern chemistry.

He studied under Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq and worked under the patronage of the Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid. Jabir’s contributions include the discovery of nitric, hydrochloric, citric, and tartaric acids, the perfection of techniques like distillation, crystallization, calcination, and sublimation, and the invention of the alembic—a device that revolutionized distillation.

Beyond chemistry, Jabir Ibn Hayyan’s influence extended to medicine, astronomy, metallurgy, and applied sciences. His books, including Kitab al-Kimya and Kitab al-Sab’een, were translated into Latin and became standard references in European universities for centuries.

This documentary explores his life, works, and legacy—revealing how his experiments and methods shaped the scientific revolution and earned him the title of The First Modern Scientist.
