He is Abu Abdullah Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Azadi, the Arab doctor who lived in Iraq, Kufa and Baghdad, who first worked Eame old and excelled, even the Arabs named chemistry general "workmanship Jaber," a reference to "Jabir ibn Hayyan" is first exercised, revealing the plural and Mrkpha, eating in his writings of metals and oxides and their salts, nitric and sulfuric acid and acetic acid, and alkali treatment and attended Anagaha crystal, distillation, filtration and escalation.
The Jaber Ibn Hayan, who is laying the foundations of modern science of chemistry and contemporary, and saw so many of the scholars of the West.
Berthelot Berthelot said of him: "The Jaber in chemistry as in the logic of Aristotle."
And said that the English philosopher (Bacon): (The Jabir ibn Hayyan was the first from the knowledge of chemistry to the world, is the father of chemistry (
According to Max Meyerhof: the development of chemistry can be traced in Europe to Jabir Ibn Hayyan directly. The greatest proof of this is that many of the terms devised by still used in various European languages.

We have deliberately Jabir ibn Hayyan on experience in research, and secure it firmly. He recommends his disciples, saying: "The first duty to work and conduct experiments, because of the Broken and the experiments are not up to the lowest ranks of perfection. You son of experience up to knowledge."
Some historians mention that the Muslim scholars who worked with the knowledge of chemistry since the time of Jabir ibn Hayyan they derived the word chemistry) of the same Arabic language.
The origin of the word chemistry in foreign languages ​​is (quantitative Alchemy). Indicate the definite article (the) on the original Arab and doubt. He says a group of historians that the word (quantitative) of the names of ancient Egypt and means black earth.
A group says that the word origin of ancient Greek origin and transfer of Jaber and his ilk from the Arab and Muslim scientists and the meaning of the Greek word is the melting of metals and cast. The metal industry then an integral part of the work of chemists and workers in this art in general.
 Edit the chemistry of the myths at the hands of the Arabs
Chemistry began fairy mythology is based on outdated, where captured the idea of ​​turning base metals into precious metals. This is because the scientists in the civilizations of pre-Islamic civilization, they believe metals Almntriqh such as gold, silver, copper, and the modern, lead and tin than one type, and that the variability stems from the heat and cold, drought, humidity, underlying which are symptoms of a variable (relative to the theory of the four elements, fire, air and water and dust), so you can convert these minerals from each other by a third material Elixir.
From this point to imagine some scientists earlier civilizations of the Islamic civilization that could create a stone or the elixir of life wisdom which removes the ills of life and prolong life.
Chemists over the era of time masters superstition and quackery, but scientists are Arab Muslims who liberated it from the noise corrupt does not depend on science, but a source of illusion and confusion.
Indeed, some scholars influenced by the Arabs and the early Muslims Kjibr ibn Hayyan, Abu Bakr al-Razi theory of the four elements that he inherited the Arab and Muslim scholars from Greece. But they have accurate scientific study; this study led to the development and application of methodology of experimental science in the field of experimental sciences.
Trying to find out the validity of the theory of the four elements have helped scientists Arabs and Muslims to stand on a very large number of chemicals, as well as knowledge of some chemical reactions, so to Muslim scholars thanks to the development of the discovery of some chemical processes simple, such as: Distillation - Sublimation - Nomination - crystallization - Alternated.

Achievements in the Jaber Ibn Hayan
The most important scientific contributions to chemistry in the introduction Jaber empirical research to chemistry, which is known as the inventor of alkali in terms of modern chemistry the name of the Arab Alkali, water and silver.
He is also credited with the Europeans knew about ammonium salt, and water, gold, potash, oil of vitriol (sulfuric acid).
It also dealt in his writings, metals, and Oksidha, and their salts, nitric and sulfuric acids, and operations of distillation, filtration, and escalation.
Among the most important scientific contributions as well, that he had been racist and laboratory experience in chemistry and recommended to accurately search and rely on the experience and patience to do it, Fjibr is one of the pioneers of applied science.
Reflected his contributions in this field in the refining of metals, and the preparation of steel, dyeing of fabrics and leather tanning, paint and cloth barrier to water leakage, the use of manganese dioxide in glass making.
And explain in detail how to prepare arsenic, antimony, and purification of metals and dye fabrics.
And discovered that alum helps to stabilize color, and that making paper is combustible, and also attended some sort of coating prevents the iron from rust.
Jaber is also the first to use the sensitive balances, weights, devotes himself to scientific accuracy in his experiments.
And discovered a "caustic soda" or Arbitron, and is the first of conjuring water Balthazar gold, silver, sulfuric acid and nitric acid, and the first to introduce the method of separating the gold from the silver solution by acids, the predominant way to this day.
And the first discovered nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, and enter the improvements to the methods of filtering and evaporation and melting, crystallisation and distillation.
