Tokoh jabir ibn hayyan pictures

Jabir ibn Hayyan was an 8th century famous Arab scientists, philosopher, and pharmacist.

Due to the immense contribution he had in the fields of alchemy and chemistry, he came to be known as the “Father of modern chemistry”. He is often credited with being the author of a variety of books on subjects such as Shi’ite religious philosophy, alchemy, chemistry and astronomy.

Generally called the Jabirian corpus, the works of Jabir had a tremendous influence on scholarship in not just the Islamic world but also all across Europe.

Beginning around the 10^th century Islamic scholars began to have serious doubt as to whether Jabir ibn ever existed.

Some historians, including modern historians, state that the name Jabir ibn Hayyan was a pseudonym used by some Shi’ite scholars in the field of chemistry, alchemy and metallurgy during the 8^th and 9^th centuries.
