Abstract

Abdurahman al-Hazini was an Islamic scholar and mathematician who lived in the 11th century. One of his most important works, “Mizan al-Hikma†, presents the balances in nature and their scientific explanations by focusing on the concept of balance (mizan). The work includes al-Hazini’s scientific thoughts, especially in the fields of physics, astronomy and mathematics. While Mizan al-Hikma develops theories to understand the balances in nature, it reveals the mathematical foundations of physical laws. The scientific views of many important thinkers are also included in the work. By integrating the views of these thinkers into his own works, he tried to unite both Islamic and Western scientific traditions. Mizan al-Hikma is not only a scientific compilation, but also a philosophical and scientific research aimed at understanding the laws of nature and the universe. This work of al-Hazini made significant contributions to the scientific thoughts of the period and reinterpreted the ideas of ancient thinkers in the Islamic world, thus contributing greatly to the development of science.
