Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī (Arabicفخر الدين الرازي) or Fakhruddin Razi (Persianفخر الدين رازی) (1149 or 1150 – 1209), often known by the sobriquet Sultan of the Theologians, was an influential Iranian and Muslim polymathscientist and one of the pioneers of inductive logic.[6][7][8] He wrote various works in the fields of medicinechemistryphysicsastronomycosmologyliteraturetheologyontologyphilosophyhistory and jurisprudence. He was one of the earliest proponents and skeptics that came up with the concept of multiverse, and compared it with the astronomical teachings of Quran.[9][10] A rejector of the geocentric model and the Aristotelian notions of a single universe revolving around a single world, al-Razi argued about the existence of the outer space beyond the known world.[10][11]

Al-Razi was born in Ray, Iran, and died in HeratAfghanistan.[12] He left a very rich corpus of philosophical and theological works that reveals influence from the works of AvicennaAbu'l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī and al-Ghazali. Two of his works titled Mabāhith al-mashriqiyya fī 'ilm al-ilāhiyyāt wa-'l-tabi'iyyāt المباحث المشرقية في علم الإلهيات و الطبيعيات (Eastern Studies in Metaphysics and Physics) and al-Matālib al-'Aliya المطالب العالية (The Higher Issues) are usually regarded as his most important philosophical works.[13]
