The Role and Contribution of Ibn Khaldun In Islamic Sociology and Human Civilization

Ibn Khaldun al-Tunisi al-Hadrami was widely recognized as a great Muslim historian and scholar. He was educated alongside some of the greatest scholars from North Africa and Spain. He was born on 27 May 1332, or 1 Ramadan 732. Ibn Khaldun wrote several books and manuscripts, but his Muqaddimah (1377) was received great attention from scholars worldwide, in particular in the field of Sociology. He died at the age of 76 in Cairo, Egypt in 808 H/1406 A.D. Sociology is a study that explains how to examine social phenomena in an objective, empirical, and theoretical manner. Compared to other social sciences like economics, political science, anthropology, and psychology, sociology is a relatively recent academic field. But the concepts that underpin it have a lengthy history and may be traced to a combination of philosophical ideas and works of art. Ibn Khaldun was an Arab Muslim philosopher who lived in the fourteenth century. He argued that nations' intelligence and progress are "environmentally and socially conditioned" rather than dependent on racial considerations. Ibn Khaldun's massive work pinpointed the psychological, economic, environmental, and social facts that promote human civilization. He had precisely connected the affluence, luxury, and resistance to performing menial tasks with the stage of social development in any system. According to the statement made, Islamic sociology is more than 400 years ahead of Western sociology. Ibn Khaldun theorized the history of science in the context of socio-political events that produced from the seventh century to the fourteenth century AD. The Human Sciences Report traces the development of the humanities during this period of time within the contexts of philosophy and sociology. In Ibn Khaldun's sociological theory, religion is a component of civilization, but it also influences how history develops. Humanities, which are always developing, have created these mental movements, or stages of the evolution of the human spirit. The purpose of this study is to determine the role and contribution of Ibn Khaldun in Islamic sociology and human civilization. The researcher will look at a number of issues relating to the role and contribution of Ibn Khaldun in Islamic sociology and human civilization using a variety of factors created specifically for this study
