Youssef Ziedan is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on June 30, 1958 in Sohag Governorate, Egypt. Ziedan was born 1958 in Sohag in Egypt. When he was still a baby, Ziedan moved to Alexandria with his grandfather. He was raised in Alexandria and was taught there. He was a student in the University of Alexandria’s philosophy department and received his summa cumlaude. His postgraduate studies were focused on Sufism, and its philosophical underpinnings. In 1989, he received his PhD for his dissertation about The Qadiri Sufi Order. It involved a study of and an edition of the poetical works by Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (or Abdul-Qadir Gilani). He lives in Alexandria with his wife and two children.

Ziedan’s research on the history of Islamic medicine is another dimension of his work. This draws him into the scientific realms, including mathematics, astronomy and chemistry. This article focuses on the vast scientific legacy left by the Arabs throughout their history. His contributions are particularly evident in medicine. As you can see, he is very interested in the Arabic translations, commentary and annotations of Hippocrates’ and Galen. His studies on Ibn al-Nafis, and his critical edition (30 volumes) of his medical encyclopedia al-Shamil fil Sina’a al-Tibbiyya, catapulted his career as an Ibn al-Nafis scholar.

Ziedan also wrote fiction. Zil al-Af’a, Ziedan’s novel (“Shadow of the Serpent”), explores the concept of the sacred feminine in a contemporary setting. The first part contains humdrum personae; the second part features letter fragments written by a female anthropologist from her daughter. These letters explain how the female role has been misunderstood, misused, and diabolically altered throughout history. Its unusual structure and excessive intellectualism have been criticised.
