Al-Kazwini

Abu Yahya Zakariya' ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini (أبو یحیی زکریاء بن محمد القزویني) or Zakarya Qazvini (Persian: زکریا قزوینی) ‎(1203–1283) was an Arab^[1][2] or Persian^[3][4][5] physician, astronomer, geographer and proto-science fiction writer.


 He belonged to a family of jurists who had long before settled in Qazvin. He was a descendant of the Medina sahabi Anas bin Malik^{[citation needed]}.



 Qazvini also wrote a futuristic proto-science fiction Arabic tale entitled Awaj bin Anfaq^[6] (أوج بن أنفاق), about a man who travelled to Earth from a distant planet.^[7]
