This year Kazakhstan and the entire international community are commemorating the 1150th anniversary of birth of Abu Nasr Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Tarhan Ibn Uzlag Al-Farabi At-Turki (870-950), great medieval philosopher and scholar of the East (born in Farab/Otrar on the territory of modern Kazakhstan), who is credited by academia as the Second Teacher of the World.
40th General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) endorsed the worldwide celebration of Al-Farabi’s jubilee by its General Resolution 68 of 25 November 2019. Subsequently, the Executive Board of UNESCO included it in its Calendars of Events for 2020, and kindly requested all the states to support it and contribute to this end.
In this vein, the Embassy of Kazakhstan to South Africa is pleased to continue the publication on its website and Facebook page one of the Al-Farabi’s masterpieces, entitled:
