Albattani is some times known by the Latin meaning of his name, which diffErs from Albategnius,Albategni or Albatenius. He was named as Abu Abdallah Mohammad ibn Jabir ibn Sinan al- Raqqi al- Harrani al- Sabi al- Battani.
Al- Battani was born in Harran, called Carrhae in ancient Roman times, on the river Balikh, 38 long hauls southeast of Urfa. His family was formerly members of the Sabian side, a religious side grounded on divination from Harran. getting a prophesier meant that the Sabians had a strong inclination to study astronomy and produced astronomers and numerous prominent numbers similar to Thabit ibn Qurra. Thabit was also born in Harran and would still be alive there when al- Battani was born. Al- Battani, unlike Thabit, wasn't a Sabian side, yet," Abu Abdallah Mohammad" indicates he was a Muslim.
Although the identity document has not been vindicated, al- Battani's father was presumably Jabir ibn Sinan al- Harran who had an elderly character as a metalworker in Harran. The word makes the identifier believable and the fact that al- Battani himself was said to make star tools is a good suggestion that he learned these chops from his father.
Al- Battani made his astronomical observance of the stars so amazing in Antioch and ar- Raqqah in Syria. The megacity of ar- Rhttps://pro.smallseotools.com/ads-freeaqqah, where al- Battani's great constancy flourished, flourished when Harun al- Rashid, the fifth caliph of the Abbasid dynasty on 14 September 786, erected many palaces there. The city had been renamed al- Rashid at the time but, by the time al- Battani began to look there, it had been renamed ar- Raqqah. The megacity was positioned on the Euphrates River westward, where it meets the swash Balikh( including Harran).
