Avicenna – Ibn Sīnā is not Iranian!
His father, Abdullah, was a respected Ismaili scholar from Balkh, an important town of the ancient Ariana in what is today Balkh Province, Afghanistan. And his mother was from Bukhara in present-day Uzbekistan.
In Afghanistan we call him Ibn Sina Balkhi – Abu Ali Sina-e Balkhi, not Irani!
