Early Life and Education (c. 865 - c. 900 CE)

This timeline focuses on the formative years of Abu Bakr al-Razi, covering his birth, early education, and the intellectual pursuits that laid the groundwork for his later scientific and medical achievements. Due to limited documentation, the exact dates are often estimated.
Birth in Rayy (near modern-day Tehran)
c. 865 CE
Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariyyā al-Rāzī, known in the West as Rhazes, is believed to have been born in the city of Rayy, located close to present-day Tehran, Iran. Information about his family and early childhood is scarce.
Early Education and Diverse Interests
c. 875 - 890 CE
During this period, al-Razi is thought to have pursued various intellectual interests, including music (specifically the lute), philosophy, and alchemy. It is believed that he initially focused more on these fields than on medicine.
Turn to Medicine and Systematic Study
c. 890 - 900 CE
Around the age of 30, al-Razi shifted his focus to the study of medicine. It is suggested that an eye ailment he suffered may have influenced his decision. He began his formal medical education, possibly in Baghdad, under the tutelage of experienced physicians.
