Tarikh Islam

Research on history, is in need of access to historical facts and principles. This itself requires the scrutinizing survey on the historical information found in the sources and documents. The issue that has vindicated this research is the critical work done in response to these data which are known as historical critiques. Based on its Very principles and criteria, historical critiques are parted to two stages: Outer critiques and inner critiques. These two types of critiques have been used in Islamic reporting history. The Muslim historians have used the methods of historical critiques and tried more or less to present valid and valuable historical books. Among the distinguished historians that have been more active in this field are: Masoudi, Meskewaih Razi, Ibn Athir, and Ibn Khaldoon.Yet, among the historical records, there remain many books that have information that is medley with fables and myths and in great need of scientific critique and revision.
