Join the upcoming ENIS Spring School in Lausanne, hosted by the Centre for Near and Middle Eastern Studies (CNMS), University of Marburg, as it explores the lives of Muslims on the geographical, normative, political, and religious margins. This unique event highlights experiences often overlooked in mainstream discourse. In connection with this theme, read the article "From the Periphery to the Islamic Center", which delves into the life, conversion, and legacy of ʿAlī Ibn Rabbān al-Ṭabarī — a scholar whose journey from the margins reshaped Islamic intellectual history.
في حب اللغة العربية
دائما ما كنت مأخوذا بالأسلوب القرآني في القصص، والكتابة، ولا ريب فهو أعظم ما كُتب بالعربية. ولما بلغتُ أَشدِّي واستويت، وبدأت أقرأ في العربية والأدب العربي "قديمه وحديثه، والأسلوب الكتابي، ازداد تعجبي وإعجابي باللغة العربية، ليس فقط بالأسلوب وقدرة اللغة فيما حوته من تعبيرات، وإنها بالقدرة الإلهية التي حبت الإنسان بذالك العقل الذي ما انفك أن يُريِ تلك الهبة التي أُعطيها في التعبير "منطوقا أو مكتوبا".
علي بن ربن الطبري
كانت مؤلفات العرب ومصنفاتهم قيِّمة، مرتبة ومبوبة أحسن تبويب، وكان المؤلفون يذكرون المصادر التي نقلوا عنها بكل دقة وأمانة، ويظهر من مؤلفاتهم أنهم كانوا ذوي نظر ثاقب، وبحث عميق ،واطلاع واسع. وقد عبثت أيدي الزمن بأكثر هذه المؤلفات فلم يصل منها إلينا إلا النزر اليسير، وهذا القيل لم ينل حظه من الدرس الوافي، بل لا يزال أكثره مودعا في المكاتب والمتاحف، فلا يمكن تقدير قيمته قبل أن يكشف الدرس عنه الستار . أما بعد؛ فنحن بصدد الحديث عن أحد الأساطين في علم الطب، وكذلك مقارنة الأديان(علي بن ربن الطبري ت 247 ه). فهو شخصية عظيمة من الشخصيات المسيحية قبل إسلامها، وقد صدق النبي (ص) حين قال خياركم في الجاهلية خياركم في الإسلام إذا فقهوا" وتكمن عظمته في علوم الطبيعة، والطب، كما سنذكر لاحقا، وكذلك في مقارنة الأديان.
Admitting the mistake
In the realm of education, honesty is a virtue that holds immense significance. As teachers, our responsibility extends beyond imparting knowledge and skills to our students. We have the unique privilege of shaping their minds, fostering their growth, and preparing them for the challenges that lie ahead. Honesty, therefore, becomes a fundamental pillar in establishing a strong teacher-student relationship and fostering a positive learning environment.
