Google, which keeps changing its doodles to celebrate special people and events, designed a nice and beautiful doodle for the Muslim scholar with his portrait in the middle and Latin words of Google taking an Arabic-looking calligraphy shape.
“We celebrated Ibn Rushd’s 888th anniversary with a doodle today as he is well-known for his works in philosophy, science and astronomy,” a Google spokesperson was quoted by Arabiya News as saying.
“Doodles also make search on Google more fun and enjoyable for our users worldwide,” the spokesperson added.
Known in the West by his Latinized name Averrhoës, Abu Al Waleed Mohammad Bin Ahmad Bin Rushd, was born 1126 in Al Andalus, present-day Spain and died 1198 in Marrakesh.
He was a master of Aristotelian philosophy, Islamic philosophy, Islamic theology, Maliki law and jurisprudence, logic, psychology, politics and Andalusian classical music theory.
