Imam Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, most commonly known as Fakhruddin Razi was a Muslim philosopher who wrote in Arabic. He was born in 1149 in Ray (today located in Iran), and died in 1209 in Herat (today located in Afghanistan). He also wrote on medicine, physics, astronomy, literature, history and law.He first studied under his father, and later in Merv and Maragha, where he was one of the pupils of al-Majd al-Jili, who in turn had been a disciple of al-Ghazali.
His commentary on the Koran (Qur’an) was the most varied and many-sided of all extant works of the kind, comprising most of the material of importance that had previously appeared. He devoted himself to a wide range of studies, and is said to have expended a large fortune on experiments in alchemy. He taught at Ray and Ghazni, and became head of the university founded by Mohammed Ibn Tukush in Herat.
