Ibn Sina's theory on the formation of
metals combined Jābir ibn Hayyān's
sulfur-mercury theory from Islamic
alchemy (although he was a critic of
alchemy) with the mineralogical theories
of Aristotle and Theophrastus. He
created a synthesis of ideas concerning
the nature of the mineral and metallic
states.[4]

Philosophy
In the medieval Islamic world, due to
Avicenna's successful reconciliation of
Aristotelianism and Neoplatonism along
with Kalam, Avicennism eventually
became the leading school of early
Islamic philosophy by the 12th century,
with Avicenna becoming a central
authority on philosophy.[10]
