Where was he from?
The article says he was born and died in Baghdad, but it also says “from Harran.” Which one is right? CielProfond (talk) 22:01, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

NOT A STAR WORSHIPPER!!!
As a person "of the book" as explained in the linked page, it is impossible for him to associate partners or deities with the stars. This is a horrible fabricated connection which would've made anyone from that group absolutely reject such descriptions in the strongest terms imaginable. It is impossible to be of rhe Quran and be a star worshipper, everybody except the misguided author of this page knows that full well. 2A00:23EE:2240:4A55:B8B9:3F58:61B4:F498 (talk) 12:46, 8 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Most scholars believe that the Sabians of Harran to which Ibrahim ibn Sinan belonged were not the Sabians mentioned in the Quran, but a different religious group which in the 8th century adopted the Quranic name 'Sabians' for themselves in order to be granted legal protection (dhimma) by Muslims as (supposed) People of the Book.
 * Please remember that Wikipedia articles reflect what scholars write in reliable sources. If you should happen to disagree with these scholars (I'm not saying you do, but if), there is nothing we can do. Thanks! ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 14:43, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
