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.
Thank You Yolanda :)
by Passing Through on Fri Jul 16, 2010 05:31 PM PDTThis 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,
