مقدمة ابن خلدون

Book: Ibn Khaldun's History

The author: Abd al-Rahman bin Muhammad bin Muhammad, Ibn Khaldun Abu Zaid, Wali al-Din al-Hadrami al-Ishbili (deceased: 808 AH).

The book whose introduction raised Ibn Khaldun to the ranks of the world's great philosophers. It is, as Toynbee said, borrowing Al-Maqrizi’s word: (a work the likes of which no human has done at any time and place). In it, he laid the foundations of the jurisprudence of history and the science of urbanization. And it is a knowledge that God found him as he says, and he did not stop at talking about granting it to anyone from creation. Its topic: (Examining the reasons for the collapse and prosperity of states). And he wanted kings to find in him something that would dispense with (The Secret of Secrets), which Aristotle wrote for Alexander
