Al-Biruni was a Khwarazmian Iranian scholar and polymath during the Islamic Golden Age.
He has been called variously the Founder of Indology, Father of Comparative Religion, Father of modern geodesy, and the first anthropologist.
He contributed to physics, mathematics, astronomy, geography, pharmacology, mineralogy, history, chronology, religion, and Ideology.
He measured the earth’s radius from Nandana Fort which is present in today’s Pakistan.
His book ‘Kitab-ul-Hind’ is considered an important source of knowledge concerning the history and society of South Asia during the early eleventh century.
Al-Biruni discovered the gravity of the earth before Newton. He said a long time before Newton that objects fall on the ground due to the gravitational force concentrated in them.
And it was not, in fact, the apple that fell from the tree that told Newton about gravity, but the books of Ibn al-Haytham who was also a Muslim.
Al-Biruni is widely considered to be one of the most important Muslim authorities in the history of religion.
