Thank you, PT.

Apparently Avicenna was a sufi:

I am glad that his work has been translated into other languages.

UNESCO has established an award in his honor:

When I have time, I got to read more about him.

This is great news - Avicenna was truly one of greatest Persians who ever walked the face of this earth -

He was indeed a Renaissance man 500 years before the phrase was coined by the Italians!

Great Job,

PT
