JALAL AD-DIN AR-RUMI circa 1207-1273
A 13th century Sufi mystic, Jalal ad-Din ar-Rumi composed passionate
love poems while turning in a circle to the beat of drums or
the music of rushing water. The poems found Allah outside the
Koran--in people, nature and the commonalities of everyday life.
Recorded in Persian by a disciple, they helped spread Islam
to a wider audience. Rumi is still read today, and his followers,
whirling dervishes (holy men), still perform their elegant,
hypnotic dances to express the idea that God can be experienced
in manifold ways.

IBN-SINA circa 980-1037
Islam's most renowned philosopher-scientist, Ibn-Sina outgrew
his teachers as a teenager and educated himself in law, medicine
and metaphysics. His intellect served him well: As a court physician
in Persia, he encountered intrigue and imprisonment but wrote
two of history's greatest works, The Book of Healing, a compendium
of science and philosophy, and The Canon of Medicine, an encyclopedia
based on the teachings of Greek physicians. The latter was widely
used in the West, where Ibn-Sina, known as Avicenna, was called
the "prince of physicians.
