Endeavors of Nations
The glory of scientists is colossal in the eyes of the nations. Every civilization endeavors to claim them as its own. There has been much dispute, be it verbal or written literature regarding their nationality. For instance, both Germans and Americans consider Albert Einstein as their own. Avicenna has always been a subject of dispute between Iranians and Arabs (since he wrote his books in Arabic). Both Iranians and Afghans consider Sayyid Jamal ad-Din as their own. Nezami has always been a subject of controversy between Iranians and Russians. Furthermore, the nationality of Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi has always been an affair of conflict between Iranians and Turks.
This list goes on in the same manner, and it is the best demonstration of the reasons why scientists are held in high value and magnificence.
