Arab History from the Beginning of the Crusades to the End of the Ottoman Empire

The author of the book states that after spending ten years in the company of Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah, he concluded that: There are still many angles that need more research despite the many studies and writings about Ibn Khaldun and his most famous book, the Muqaddimah. He also concluded that corrections must be made to return Khaldunian thought to its original framework and preserve its entirety and true identity. And its readings according to the circumstances of his social experience, his personal concerns, and his modern context.

He also pointed out through his research the methodological error that many of Ibn Khaldun’s admirers have fallen into, and we mean by that looking with the eye of the present, and starting from contemporary thought, to the opinions and theories mentioned in the Muqaddimah in social, political, and economic affairs. As well as understanding his terms and expressions in a way that deviates from his purpose, and distances them from the scope of his interest and the molds of his thinking. In his view, most Khaldunian studies rarely look at Khaldunian thought as a whole, but rather they often look at his opinions in this field independently and separately from his opinions in other fields.
