THE BANU MUSA BROTHERS
There were three brothers Jafar Muhammad ibn Musa ibn Shakir, Ahmad ibn Musa ibn Shakir and al-Hasan ibn Musa ibn Shakir. They are almost indistinguishable but we do know that although they often worked together, they did have their own areas of expertise.
Jafar Muhammad worked mainly on geometry and astronomy while Ahmad worked mainly on mechanics and al-Hasan worked mainly on geometry. It is quite impossible to write separate biographies of the three brothers, who are usually known as the Banu Musa, and we shall not attempt to do so.
The Banu Musa brothers were among the first group of mathematicians to begin to carry forward the mathematical developments begun by the ancient Greeks. It is therefore worth looking at the background to how Arabic mathematics came to fill this role.
Harun al-Rashid became the fifth Caliph of the Abbasid dynasty on 14 September 786, not long after Musa ibn Shakir, the father of the Banu Musa brothers, was born. Harun ruled from his court in the capital city of Baghdad over the Islam empire which stretched from the Mediterranean to India. He brought culture to his court and tried to establish the intellectual disciplines which at that time were not flourishing in the Arabic world. An example of this change is seen in the life of Musa ibn Shakir, the father of the Banu Musa brothers, who was a robber in his youth but turned to science, becoming highly proficient in astronomy. It was during al-Rashid's reign that the first Arabic translation of Euclid's Elements into Arabic was made by al-Hajjaj. The first steps were being taken to allow Greek mathematics to spread through the Islam empire.
Al-Rashid had two sons, the eldest was al-Amin while the younger was al-Ma'mun. Harun al-Rashid died in 809 and there was an armed conflict between his two sons. Al-Ma'mun won the armed struggle and al-Amin was defeated and killed in 813. Following this, al-Ma'mun became Caliph and ruled the empire from Baghdad. Even before this time Musa ibn Shakir had become a close friend of al-Ma'mun and when Musa ibn Shakir died, al-Ma'mun became the guardian of the Banu Musa brothers. The brothers were given the best education in Baghdad, studying geometry, mechanics, music, mathematics and astronomy.
Al-Ma'mun had continued the patronage of learning started by his father and had founded an academy called the House of Wisdom where Greek philosophical and scientific works were translated. He also built up a library of manuscripts, the first major library to be set up since that at Alexandria, collecting important works from Byzantium. In addition to the House of Wisdom, al-Ma'mun set up observatories in which Muslim astronomers could build on the knowledge acquired by earlier peoples. read more

Het jy toe al bietjie 'n draai gemaak by die nuwe Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en na die nuwe vertaling van die Koran in Afrikaans gekyk? Wel, wat dink jy, werk dit? Ai, ek geniet die vertaling van die Koran darem hoor: dit help my om, soos Allah wil, elke woord presies te verstaan. Kyk byvoorbeeld na Hoofstuk 93: is dit nie ook vir jou aangrypend nie? Alle lof kom Allah toe!
Kyk net hoe pragtig is vers 4: wat 'n belofte!: "Moenie dat die gekoggel van die heidene jou onderkry nie, die Hiernamaals, waar jy na hartsbegeerte geseën gaan word, is in elk geval baie beter vir jou as die teenswoordige lewe ..." (Lees meer)
Little Ernie was having a problem with his homework.
"Dad,"
he asked, "What is the difference between 'anger' and 'exasperation'?"
"Well, son," said his father, "I'll give you a practical
demonstration."
His father picked up the phone and dialled a number.
"Hello,"
said a voice at the other end.
"Hello," said Ernie's father. "Is Melvin there?"
"There is no one called Melvin here!" the voice replied. "Why
don't you look up numbers before you dial them?"
"You see?" said Ernie's father. "That man was not at all happy with our call. But watch this!"
He then dialled the number again, and says, "Hello, is Melvin there?"
"Now look here!" the voice said angrily. "I told you there is no Melvin here! You have got a lot of nerve calling again!"
"Did you hear that?" Ernie's father asked. "That was 'anger'. Now, I will show you what 'exasperation' is!"
He dialled once again. And on hearing the voice at the other end, Ernie's father said: "Hello! This is Melvin. Have there been any calls for me?"
