Islamic historiography refers to the study and writing of history within the Islamic tradition. It encompasses various methods and approaches used by Muslim historians to document events, societies, and cultures from an Islamic perspective. This field often emphasizes the importance of religious texts, such as the Qur'an and Hadith, as primary sources for understanding historical events. Historically, Islamic historiography has produced notable works by scholars like Ibn Khaldun and Al-Tabari, who contributed significantly to the understanding of Islamic history and civilization. These historians often aimed to provide moral lessons and insights into the nature of power, society, and human behavior, reflecting the values and beliefs of their time.
