famous Egyptian scientist
Ahmed Hassan Zewail is a famous Egyptian scientist who was born in 1946. He
studied Chemistry and Physics at the University of Alexandria where he received
both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Science. Later on, he moved to the United
States to complete his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1999 he was awarded
the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work on femtochemistry. Apart
from the Nobel Prize, he has received many other awards such as the Wolf Prize in
Chemistry, the Tolman Medal and the Welch Award. He has also received the Grand
Collar of the Nile which is Egypt’s highest state honour. Undoubtedly, through his
work and research, Ahmed Hassan Zewail has managed to win the title of one of the
most important scientists of the 21st century.
Abu Abdullah Mohammed Ibn Battuta was born in Tangier, Morocco on 24th
February 1304. At the age of twenty, he left home and embarked on an adventure
that would last nearly thirty years. He went on Hajj to Makkah and then continued
his travels which took him to almost all the lands of the Muslim world and beyond,
including China, India, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, South East Asia, Byzantium and
South Russia. The distance this extraordinary traveller covered is estimated to be
around 75,000 miles.
When he returned to Morocco, he narrated his adventures to Ibn Juzay who wrote
them down in a manuscript referred to as the Rihla, or the ‘Journey.’
Unfortunately, Ibn Battuta’s huge contribution to geography has gone largely
unnoticed and people all over the world need to rediscover the important
contributions of Muslims in various fields.
Many people regard Jean Monnet, born in Cognac, France, in 1888, as the father
of the European Union. He believed that European countries would benefit if
they worked together. For this reason, he encouraged cooperation and creative
dialogue. He believed that Europe would one day become a community which
would share common interests. During World War I his attempts at promoting
and organising better economic cooperation between the Allies were not very
successful. However, his greatest contribution towards this goal came after World
War II when there was growing tension between Germany and France. Since
he was afraid that war would break out once again, Jean Monnet suggested that
Germany’s and France’s coal and steel resources should be controlled by an
independent authority. This was the beginning of what was to become a union of
nations.
