ISL201

Assignment of ISL 201
Solution

1) Elaborate what kind of behavior should we adopt towards non-Muslim parents?
Allah says
"It is not fitting for the Prophet (PBUH) and those who believethat they should pray for forgiveness for polytheists, even though they be of kin, after it is clear that they are companions of the Fire."[9:113]
This is after they die upon disbelief as non-Muslims. It is, however, permissible to guide them to Islam in their lifetime.
In another hadeeth, it is narrated that while Abu Hurairaha embraced Islam, his mother continued to be an infidel for quite a long time. He continuously tried to convince her in favor of Islam, but to no avail. Nevertheless, he continued respecting and obeying her. Once when he was trying to convince her she became insolent and uttered some insulting remarks about the Prophet (PBUH). Because of this, Abu Hurairah was very much pained. He went to the Prophet and complained saying, "O Messenger of Allah! I have always been trying to make my mother accept Islam but she always refuses to accept it. But today when I asked her to believe in Almighty Allah, she became very much annoyed and started insulting and rebuking you which I could not stand and tears came to my eyes. O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah that He may open the heart of my mother to Islam." The Prophet (PBUH) immediately raised his hands and prayed, "O Almighty Allah, guide the mother of Abu Hurairah." Abu Hurairah was overjoyed and went home. When he reached home he found the door was bolted from the inside but he heard the sound of flowing water, which assured him that his mother was taking a bath. Hearing his footsteps, she hastily finished the bath. Then she opened the door. She said, "O my son Abu Hurairah, Allah has heard you. Be witness that I recite the Shahadah." He started crying out of sheer joy and went back to the Prophet (PBUH) with the tiding that Almighty Allah had accepted his prayer and had given his mother the treasure of Islam. The Prophet (PBUH) was also pleased to hear that. He praised Allah and gave Abu Hurairah some advice. Then, on his request, he prayed, "O Allah, put the love of Abu Hurairah and his mother in the hearts of all true Muslims and put the love of all true Muslims in the hearts of both of them."

2)contribution of the following Muslim Scientists in the field of Medicine.
Ibn-i-Sina
His full name was Hussain ibn Abdullah ibn Hassan ibn Ali ibn Sina. He was born around 980 in Afshana, near Bukhara ,which was his mother's hometown, in Greater Khorasan, to a Persian family.
Ibn Sīnā developed a medical system that combined his own personal experience with that ofIslamic medicine, the medical system of the Greek physician Galen, Mesopotamian and Indian medicine.
Though the threads which comprise Unani healing can be traced all the way back to Claudius Galenus of Pergamum, who lived in the second century of the Christian Era, the basic knowledge of Unani medicine as a healing system was developed by Hakim Ibn Sina in his medical encyclopedia The Canon of Medicine. The time of origin is thus dated at circa 1025 AD, when Avicenna wrote The Canon of Medicine in Persia.
Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham
Abu Ali Hasan Ibn al-Haitham was one of the most eminent physicists, whose contributions to optics and the scientific methods are outstanding. Known in the West as Alhazen, Ibn al-Haitham was born in 965 C.E. in Basrah, and was educated in Basrah and Baghdad. Thereafter, he went to Egypt, where he was asked to find ways of controlling the flood of the Nile. Being unsuccessful in this, he feigned madness until the death of Caliph al-Hakim. He also travelled to Spain and, during this period, he had ample time for his scientific pursuits, which included optics, mathematics, physics, medicine and development of scientific methods on each of which he has left several outstanding books.
