George Sarton called Ibn Sina "the most famous scientist of Islam and one of the most famous in all fields, places and times." His most famous work is the Book of healing and the canon of Medicine, also known as the Qanun, the full title of Al-Qanun fi At Thibb.

His life is known through powerful sources. An autobiography discusses the first thirty years of his life, and the rest is documented by his student al-Juzajani who is also his secretary and friend. Ibn Sina was born in 960 AD in the home of his mother Afshana. a small city now in the territory of Uzbekistan. His father was a respected scholar Ismaili from Balkh Khorasan and at the time of the birth of his son he was the governor of an area in one of the settlements of Noah ibn Mansur now in Afghanistan and Persia. He wanted his son to be well educated in Bukhara. Although traditionally influenced by the Ismaili branch of Islam, Ibn Sina's thought was independent with exceptional intelligence and memory that allowed him to overtake his teachers at the age of 14.

Ibn Sina was educated under the responsibility of a teacher and his intelligence immediately made him an admiration among his neighbors & he displayed an exception to the intellectual attitude and an extraordinary child whose prodigy had memorized the Koran at the age of 5
years and also a persian poet. From a vegetable trader he learned arithmetic and he began to study something else from a scholar who obtained a livelihood from caring for the sick and teaching young people. Despite major problems in metaphysical problems and in some of Aristotle's writings. So for the next year and a half he also studied philosophy, where he faced many obstacles.

in some puzzling investigations he would leave his books to take ablution water then go to the mosque and continue to pray until hidayah finishes his difficulties. late at night he will continue his learning activities to stimulate his feelings with sometimes a glass of goat's milk and although in his dreams problems will follow him and provide a solution. Forty times it is said he read Metaphysics from Aristotle until his words were written in his memory & but the meaning was unknown. until one day they found enlightenment, from a brief description by Farabi which he bought in a bookstall for three dirhams. what is truly amazing is his pleasure in discovery.

He studied medicine at the age of 6 and not only studied medical theory, but through service to the sick, through his own calculations, discovered new methods of treatment. This young man won the title of a physicist at the age of 18 and found that "medicine is not a difficult or annoying science like mathematics and metaphysics so I am making progress quickly & I am becoming a very good doctor and starting to treat patients using appropriate medicines . " The fame of the young physicist spread quickly and he treated many patients without asking for payment.
