Summary/Abstract: It is a great importance to try to conclude the subjects of research and thought through concepts. The first examples of studies on concepts go back to Ancient Greek philosophers. From them, Aristotle became the most influential philosophers who came after him. There is no doubt that the tradition of interpreting and discussing the disciplines and subjects of thought through concepts is also common among Muslim scientists and philosophers. They did not examine the issues that they considered as a problem only on the concepts produced by previous philosophers. They also produced new concepts. Biruni is one of the Muslim scientists who created works in almost every branch of science and thought. In addition to the contents of his works, he still draws attention with his methodology and concepts in writing. In our study, some interesting concepts used in his works have been tried to be introduced and interpreted.
