Hazrat Nasir al-Din al-Tusi

 Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al Tūsī Persian: محمد ابن محمد ابن حسن طوسی 18 February 1201 - 26 June 1274, better known as Nasir al-Din al-Tusi Persian نصیر الدین طوس ˈtusi easily out In the West, he was a Persian polymath, architect, philosopher, physician, scientist, and theologian.


Nasir al-Din al-Tusi was a well-publicized writer, writing about mathematics, engineering, prose, and mystery. In addition, al-Tusi has made some scientific advances. 


In astronomy, al-Tusi created the most accurate tables of planetary motion, a revised planetary model, and the critique of Ptolemaic astronomy. He also made progress in psychology, mathematics but especially trigonometry, biology, and chemistry.



 Nasir al-Din al-Tusi also left a wonderful legacy. Some consider Tusi to be one of the great scientists of medieval Islam, as he is often regarded as the creator of trigonometry as the mathematical framework itself. 


The Islamic scholar Ibn Khaldun 1332-1406 considered Tusi to be the greatest scholar of Persia later.  There is also reason to believe that it may also contribute to Copernican heliocentrism.



 Nasir also proposed a relationship between humans and animals, some of which have a high degree of awareness or awareness suggesting the theory of evolution although not significantly different from the modern theory of evolution.


 Nasir al-Din al-Tusi was born in the ancient city of Tus in Kororan northeastern. in the year 1201 and began his studies at a young age in Hamadan and Tus he studied Quran, hadith, Ja'fari jurisprudence, logic, philosophy, mathematics, medicine, and astronomy. 


He was born into a Shī’ah family and lost his father at a young age. Fulfilling his father's wish, the young Muhammad considered reading and scholarship a priority and traveled far and wide to attend scholarships and acquired knowledge, a career that was greatly encouraged in his Islamic faith. 


At a young age, he moved to Nishapur to study philosophy under Farid al-Din Damad and mathematics under Muhammad Hasib.  He also met Attar of Nishapur, a Sufi champion who was later assassinated by the Mongols and attended the studies of Qutb al-Din al-Egypt.


Nasir-al-Din Tusi writes in his book Desideratum of the Faithful Maṭlūb al-muʾminīn, “In order to be a spiritual person, it is obligatory to fulfill the symbolic meaning ta'wīl of the seven pillars of religion. law sharīʿat ”.


He also explains that fulfilling religious law is much easier than fulfilling its spiritual meaning. 


He explains in his book Aghaz u anjam that the sacred narrative of history that we see within the boundaries of place and time symbolizes events that do not have such boundaries. They are presented in this way only so that people can understand them.


In Mosul, al-Tusi studied mathematics and astronomy with Kamal al-Din Yunus d. AH, 639 / AD 1242, a student of Sharaf al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī. 



 He later corresponded with Sadr al-Din al-Qunawi, the son-in-law of Ibn Arabi, and it seems that the mystery, as spread by the Sufis of his day, did not appeal to him.



 When the event was over, he devised his own Sufism philosophical manual in the form of a pamphlet entitled Awsaf al-Ashraf, or "Glory of Glory".


As Genghis Khan's forces swept his country, he was hired by the Nazis' empire Ismaili and, while moving from a strange place to a strange place, made his most important scientific contribution,  for the first time in the province of Quhistan under Muhtasham Nasir al-Din Abd al-Rahim ibn Abi Mansur where he wrote Nasirean Ethics.



He was later sent to the great fortresses of Alamut and Maymun-Diz to carry on his mission under the Nizar Imam Ala al-Din Muhammad. He was captured after the fall of Maymun-Diz in the Mongol forces under Hulagu Khan. 


The autobiography of Nasir al-Din Tusi, The Voyage Sayr of Suluk explains that the destruction of the texts as the destruction of the libraries of Alamūt in 1256 would not shake the spirit of the Nazarene Ismaili community because it gives added value “to the living book. 



”Imam of the Time rather than“ written word ”. Their hearts are set on the Commander of the Faithful amir al-mu'minin, not just on the "command" itself. There is always a living Imam in the world, and following him, the believer will never go astray. 


Tusi has about 150 works, 25 of which are Persian and the rest are Arabic, and there is one book in Persian. , Arabic and Turkish.
