Farabi was unparalleled in various sciences. So much so that he wrote a book on each science of his time, and from his books, it is evident that he possessed great skill in the sciences of language, mathematics, alchemy, astronomy, military sciences, music, natural sciences, theology, civil sciences, jurisprudence, and logic

Celebration of Farabi

The Deputy Researcher of the Association of Cultural Works and Personalities said in an interview with the cultural reporter of Irna, referring to the registration of November 21 (30 Aban) as the

day of honoring Farabi in the calendar, that considering November 21 is World Philosophy Day and given Farabi’s personality and the fact that he is referred to as the Second Teacher

Our suggestion was to designate this day as the Day of Wisdom and Philosophy in honor of Farabi, and for this reason, November 21 was proposed as National Day of Wisdom and Philosophy and to celebrate Abū Nasr Al-Fārābī by the Association of Cultural Works and Luminaries, and it was also presented and approved in the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution
