Mengenal Ibnu al-Haytham, Sang Ilmuwan Modern Pertama
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Ilmuwan serba bisa ini bernama lengkap Abu Ali al-Hassan ibnu al-Haytham. Ia lebih dikenal sebagai al-Haytham. Dunia Barat menyebutnya sebagai Alhazen.
Al-Haytham lahir di Basrah, Irak, pada 965 M dan wafat di Kairo, Mesir, pada 1040 M. Mengutip uraian dari sejarawan Ibn Qifti (1172-1248), al-Haytham mengawali pendidikan dasarnya di kota kelahirannya itu. Bahkan, ia ketika dewasa sempat menduduki jabatan hakim.
Namun, al-Haytham lantas memilih meletakkan jabatan tersebut. Sebab, ia mulai menyadari minat dan bakatnya sebagai ilmuwan, alih-alih pegawai birokrasi.
Meskipun sempat menolak, akhirnya pemerintah tak bisa berbuat banyak. Rezim saat itu, Dinasti Buwayhid, kemudian menerima surat pengunduran diri al-Haytham. Apalagi, yang bersangkutan sempat pura-pura sakit agar permohonan resign itu diloloskan.
Masyarakat memang mengenalnya sebagai penulis brilian. Ia rajin menulis buku dalam berbagai bidang. Mulai dari astronomi, fisika, matematika, filsafat, hingga sosial.
Popularitasnya mencapai Mesir. Al-Haytham lantas hijrah ke Negeri Piramida. Ia diterima dengan tangan terbuka oleh Khalifah al-Hakim dari Dinasti Fathimiyah.

Who was Ibn al-Haytham
Creative representation of Ibn al-Haytham by the artist Ali Amro
Born around a thousand years ago in present day Iraq, Al-Hasan Ibn al-Haytham (known in the West by the Latinised form of his first name, initially “Alhacen” and later “Alhazen”) was a pioneering scientific thinker who made important contributions to the understanding of vision, optics and light. His methodology of investigation, in particular using experiment to verify theory, shows certain similarities to what later became known as the modern scientific method. Through his Book of Optics (Kitab al-Manazir) and its Latin translation (De Aspectibus), his ideas influenced European scholars including those of the European Renaissance. Today, many consider him a pivotal figure in the history of optics and the “Father of modern Optics”.
Ibn al-Haytham was born during a creative period known as the golden age of Muslim civilisation that saw many fascinating advances in science, technology and medicine. In an area that spread from Spain to China, inspirational men and women, of different faiths and cultures, built upon knowledge of ancient civilisations, making discoveries that had a huge and often underappreciated impact on our world.
