Naming Ibn Sina the Supreme Shaykh and the Names of Schools
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, why was Ibn Sina called the Grand Shaykh? And is it possible to address the Ministry of Education regarding changing the names of schools that were named after him?
Answer:
This is how his followers refer to him; they call him the Supreme Lord to exalt him. It is obligatory to address the authorities to have his name removed from the schools. Al-Farabi and these atheists must have their names removed from the schools, as well as Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, who says that the noble one is the supporter of disbelief. It is not permissible to exalt these people. They claim that these are among the greatest scholars of Islam, but that is not the case except because he appeared in chemistry, the science of chemistry, meaning he is exalted in worldly status due to worldly matters, while he is an atheist in his religion and creed. It is not permissible, rather, it is not permissible to call him a Muslim. He is not a Muslim; he is an atheist. They say this is a name for Islam, but you reject it. This is a sound path. Islam is in no need of people like these. Yes.
