The opening speech of the event was made by Vice Rector Prof. Hikmet Koçak. Koçak stated that "As Üsküdar University, we commemorate all scientists who have served humanity. In every faculty and department of our university, there are pictures and resumes of some of them. Ibn Sina, who is one of them today, added great works to a life of 57 years and compressed his knowledge of astronomy, logic, physics and general morality, especially medicine. He is a scientist, a medical doctor, who is more well-known in the West than we are. On the occasion of the Ibn Sina week, this event was organized to renew our knowledge and to remember and remember again. I would like to thank Prof. İbrahim Öztek."

Prof. İbrahim Öztek: "Ibn Sina is one of the most important physicians of the golden age of Islam"

Üsküdar University Faculty of Medicine, Head of the Department of Medical Pathology, Prof. İbrahim Öztek conveyed the life of Ibn Sina to the participants in all its details. Öztek stated that "Ibn Sina has made great contributions to world science and medicine. He is one of the most important physicians, astronomers, thinkers and writers of the golden age of Islam. He studied astronomy, mathematics and medicine. At the age of sixteen, he memorized medical books in many libraries and became an authority. Later, he produced more than two hundred medical books and about two hundred and fifty articles. Farabi learned Aristotle's philosophy and metaphysics through the phrase hand. He studied the works of all Ancient Greek philosophers and Anatolia. His teachers could not keep up with him. Finally, he began to focus on medical subjects after acquiring the basic books of all disciplines related to philosophy. At the age of sixteen, he had acquired knowledge in various fields such as philosophy, literature, mathematics, and medicine. At the age of nineteen, he received the title of doctor. He discussed medical and philosophical issues with the greatest scholars of the time and worked with them."

The five pillars of goodness...

Emphasizing that history and science should be protected, Öztek said that according to Ibn Sina, there are five conditions of goodness. Öztek stated that "The first has to be immediacy. If we are going to do good, it must be done quickly. It must be hidden. Do not explain the good deeds you have done. Do not exaggerate the good you do. It must be continuous. If you give, give constantly, and what you give must find its place. He has a spiritual imagination. This power can create diseases as well as eliminate existing ailments. The body has to obey the dictates of the spiritual imagination. All diseases arise mainly from what is eaten and drunk."

Öztek: "He combined his own thoughts with the logic of Islam"

Öztek said that Ibn Sina researched many scientists who lived before him and remained in the depths of history, and Öztek continued his remarks as follows: "He has studied many scientists and memorized their works. He prioritized the Ancient Greek philosophers and scientists who lived in the pre-Christ periods. He memorized all their books. He benefited from their works. He analyzed them, filtered them and combined them with his own thought and the logic of Islam."

The online event, which attracted great interest from the participants, ended after the question-answer session.
