He was fascinated by Jabir ibn Hayyan, to the point that he called him "the Imam". He collected 42 works from his books that he studied and discussed. He also read Al-Razi and other scientists, and made many comments and many explanations of some theories and mysterious issues in chemistry.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>He is famous for his concern for the authenticity of transmission, so his works are considered of high value to historians of science. In addition, his collection of the works of the predecessors in chemistry, his preservation of them, and his analysis of their content preserved much of the heritage that was lost from them. He was also fond of the natural sciences and plants, and was keen to delve into their topics and read the most important books on these sciences. He did not leave a book on chemistry without reading and commenting on it. He was known for his generosity, piety, spreading knowledge, and caring for seekers of knowledge. He would open his home to students of knowledge, and would open his heart to anyone who asked him for questions or clarification on issues of chemistry or other branches of knowledge. Al-Jaldaki was distinguished by his writing in a style that was difficult to understand. Some people sometimes accuse him of being a style that is closer to <a href="/wiki/Talisman" title="Talisman">talisman</a> for the average reader, but this does not fault him because he was writing for specialists in the field of chemistry.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Manouchehr_Taslimi" title="Manouchehr Taslimi">Manouchehr Taslimi</a> mentioned in his doctoral thesis from the <a href="/wiki/University_of_London" title="University of London">University of London</a> in 1954 that Al-Jaldaki spent seventeen years on his scientific travels. He laid the basic building block for the creation of the "<a href="/wiki/Law_of_definite_proportions" title="Law of definite proportions">Law of definite Proportions</a>" in chemical union, and explained it in detail, which <a href="/wiki/Johannes_Kepler" title="Johannes Kepler">Kepler</a>, <a href="/wiki/Galileo_Galilei" title="Galileo Galilei">Galileo</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Isaac_Newton" title="Isaac Newton">Newton</a> later relied on in their studies.

His contributions extended to the in-depth study of <a href="/wiki/Alkali" title="Alkali">alkalis</a> and <a href="/wiki/Acid" title="Acid">acids</a>, which enabled him to make some improvements to the method of <a href="/wiki/Soap" title="Soap">soap</a> making that was known at the time. He explained the currently used <a href="/wiki/Distillation" title="Distillation">distillation</a> method, such as filter papers, distillation under a water bath, and double distillation. He was the first to say that the substance gives its own color when burned. He also researched various fields, in addition to chemistry and botany, such as mechanics, acoustics, and air and water waves. He made comments, explanations, and corrections to many chemistry books written by his predecessors, Western scientists. Al-Jaldaki was aware of the electronic structure of the atom, as he compared it to the solar system in his famous poetry and wrote many scientific books that were circulated in many libraries around the world, but most of them are still in manuscript form.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <p><a href="/wiki/Umar_Rida_Kahhala" title="Umar Rida Kahhala">Omar Rida Kahhala</a> says in his book "العلوم البحتة في العصور الإسلامية <i>Pure Sciences in Islamic Ages</i>":</p><blockquote><p>"...However, Al-Jaldaki is considered one of the greatest scholars knowledgeable about the history of chemistry and what was written about it before him. He was fond of collecting chemical works and interpreting them, and it was his habit to quote entire paragraphs from famous people who preceded him, such as Jabir bin Hayyan and Abu Bakr Al-Razi. Thus, he performed a great service for the history of chemistry in Islam, as he recorded in his relatively recent books what had disappeared and been lost from the books of his predecessors.

This is what is called the literature of Egyptian and Islamic chemistry. Al-Jaldaki carried out experiments in the field of chemistry, and although most of his work is analytical, he is one of the scientists to whom modern scientists owe a great deal."</p></blockquote><p>Al-Jaldaki has important opinions in chemistry, including: that chemical substances do not interact with each other except in certain proportions, and this was the basis for the law of definite proportions in chemical reactions. He also reached the possibility of separating gold from silver by nitric acid, which dissolves the silver, leaving pure gold.

There are three manuscripts of it in the Zahiriyya Library, one of which is complete and two of which contain text. Al-Jaldaki mentioned in the introduction to the book the reasons that prompted him to classify it. He mentioned that he was able to solve the problems of the science of the ancients, and what was transmitted from the virtuous masters of wisdom... after taking the path of request and diligence, and spending a fortune of life and money, and migrating to the sheikhs and notables, within the borders of Iraq and the outskirts of the Romans, to the borders of Morocco, the lands of Egypt, and the outskirts of Yemen, the Hejaz, and the Levant, for a period of more than seventeen years, he studied the Jabriya methods in business, and looked into the secrets of nature and impossibilities. <a href="/wiki/George_Sarton" title="George Sarton">George Sarton</a> said about it in his book "Introduction to the History of Science": "It is considered one of the most important books produced by the Egyptian mind.
