Abstract
Abstract ‘Abd al‐Rahman Ibn Khaldun (generally known as “Ibn Khaldun,” or son of Khaldun), born in North Africa in the fourteenth century, is renowned for being one of the leading political theorists and historians produced by Islam. His masterpiece, Muqaddimah ( Introduction ), which contains a theory of universal history that is still respected today, is thought to be the first work of historiography and a precursor to the modern disciplines of anthropology, sociology, economics, and political science. As a historian, scholar, lawyer, theologian, mathematician, military strategist, philosopher, and social scientist, Ibn Khaldun had a deep and enduring influence on the development of Islamic political ideology, and indeed on the development of historical and political thought more generally.
