Especially of Negroes and Bedouins. Read the following passage on blacks and you'll know what I'm talking about. "The real reason for these opinions is that, as has been shown by philosophers in the proper place, joy and gladness are due to expansion and diffusion of the animal spirit. [...] A drunken person experiences inexpressible joy and gladness because the vapour of the spirit in his heart is pervaded by natural heat, which the power of the wine generates in his spirit. The spirit, as a result, expands, and there is joy." [pp 63]

    Extractions: Return to Sociology Timeline Recently, some sociologists have argued Ibn-Khaldun might be considered the founder of sociology because he developed important sociological concepts such as social forces, social facts, and social laws. His work emphasized both conflict and solidarity, thus being related to both functionalism and the conflict perspective . However, since he was largely unknown to most sociologists, his impact on the field has been minimal.

43. IBN KHALDUN
    He is `Abd alRahman bin Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Al-Hasan bin Jabir bin Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Abdurahman bin ibn khaldun.

    Extractions: c Abd al-Rahman b. Muhammad Ibn Khaldun (1332 - 1406 A.C.E. / 732 - 808 A.H.) He is `Abd al-Rahman bin Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Al-Hasan bin Jabir bin Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Abdurahman bin Ibn Khaldun. According to Ibn Khaldun, his ancestors originated in Hadramut, Yemen. He also traced his ancestry (through another genealogy, as supplied by Ibn Hazem who looked to his grandfather who was the first to enter Andalusia) back to Wail ibn Hajar, one of the oldest Yemeni tribes. In either case, the genealogy points to his Arab origin, although scholars do question the authenticity of both reports due to the political climate at the time of the reports. [1] Ibn Khaldun was born in Tunis on May 27, 1332 A.C.E. (Ramadan 1, 732 A.H.). [2] He received a traditional education that was typical for one of his family’s rank and status. He learned first at the hands of his father, who was a scholarly person, not involved in politics like his ancestors. He memorized the Qur’an by heart, learned grammar, jurisprudence, hadith, rhetoric, philology, and poetry. He reached a certain proficiency in these subjects and received certification in them. In his autobiography, he mentions the names of the scholars with whom he studied. [3] Ibn Khaldun continued his studies until the age of nineteen, when the great plague swept over the lands from Samarkand to Mauritania. It was after this plague that Ibn Khaldun received his first public assignment, marking the start of his political career, and forever changing his life. [4]

    The most famous of these books is The Chronicles of AlTabari, ibn khaldun, ibn Kathir and The History of the Caliphs by the Suyuti.  
    http://www.islam-watch.org/Shabana/TruthAboutIslam2.htm
    
    Extractions: The Islamic wars were waged by Muhammad himself, then by his relatives and companions who lived with him day after day and to whom he promised paradise. The important thing is that Muslims were executing the unequivocal teachings of both Muhammad and the Qur’an which we mentioned previously in this chapter. There are many books, often written by famous Islamic scholars, historians and chroniclers, which talk thoroughly and in detail about the offensive wars. The most famous of these books is "The Chronicles of Al-Tabari, Ibn Khaldun, Ibn Kathir" and "The History of the Caliphs" by the Suyuti. The entire Islamic world relies on these books. Among the contemporary scholars who rely on these sources and quote from them is Dr. Abu Zayd Shalabi, professor of civilization at the Azhar University. His respected book, "al-Khulafa’ al-Rashidun" The Rightly Guided Caliphs", or successors) from which we quoted when we discussed the wars of apostasy, examines these things. We have selected a few quotations from these sources and references because they almost all repeat each other. These events are well-known and confirmed by all Muslims. They are taught in the public schools in all the Islamic countries, especially in the Arab world.

    Extractions: Convictions and Beliefs One hundred years ago, Khayr ad-Din at-Tunisi, Mohamed Abduh, Gamal ad-Din al-Afghani and und Abdul Rahman al Kawakibi called for progress, social reform and enlightenment in the Islamic Arab world. At that time, catching up with the dominant Western civilisation, still seemed feasible. Nowadays the gap between the two cultures seems impossible to overcome. During the past six centuries, the credit for research, discoveries and inventions, in philosophical and scientific questions is entirely the West's. Acknowledging this is very painful for those whose ties of culture are with the Arab World. It is frightening to see that the Arab World did not render any service - neither to itself nor to mankind - throughout all this time. The West is controlling the world on a military, cultural and economical level by using its leading superiority consisting in knowledge, science and reasonable thinking. Throughout the whole world, Western Culture has assumed the leading role. The cultures of the Third World and the Arab Culture became just one follower circling in its orbit. This is a position demanding to be overcome. But in order to be an even match with the Western World, the Arabs need to understand from where Western Culture generates its strength instead of just mimicking the West by using its products. They should think about applying a different kind of Western values, which lead to economical and social development, namely values that grant dignity for all citizens. So far, they find all kinds of social and religious excuses when they are confronted with those values: equality, human rights, dignity and justice for all.

    Extractions: Notebooks 20 Sep 2007 10:44 already , I will basically repeat myself for the next three paragraphs. Ibn Khaldun's theory of culture and society was complicated; it was, in fact, a science in the proper Aristotelian mode, starting from certain premises regarded as secured by other sciences, observation, etc., from which it deduced the formal, material, efficient and final causes of human societies, especially their growth, their decay, and their built-in drives to attain certain ends ( entelechy ). A full and proper exegesis would require a mastery of Arabic, and of medieval philosophy, which I lack, but the core of it is what he took to be an observation of a historical cycle, and its causes, and that I think I can explain. This concerns the inter-relationships between economic life, social solidarity, cultural refinement, and military effectiveness. 'asabiyya ) of the soldiers with one another and with their leaders. (He ignored differences in military technology, I suspect because there were no important ones within his sphere of observation.) People raised in conditions of luxury do not (reliably, or for the most part) have such feelings of solidarity, nor do ordinary townsmen and peasants, since their safety and survival is guaranteed for them by the state. It is only barbarians living in mountains and deserts, whose survival is crucially dependent on mutual support against the elements and against other tribes, who will develop the feelings of solidarity on which military power rests.

    Extractions: Sufism (Changing Lead Into Gold) Sufism defines a spiritual path derived from the Prophet Muhammad's spiritual practices leading to his full spiritual enlightenment and beyond. The practices were outlined by Muhammad's companions, particularly his cousin, and fourth successor, Aly who wrote the first manual on the subject. Aly reported how the Prophet dispatched him to be Chief Justice in Yemen. When Aly complained he didn't know how to judge cases, the Prophet touched Aly's chest and opened his heart center. Subsequently Aly had no difficulty judging any case. Opening the heart is an important Sufi goal. The heart helps the seeker sense the spiritual world. al-Ghazali once said: "If God took over the heart, it is flooded with Grace, enlightened, opened, and the secret of the Kingdom is revealed." The famous Sufi woman, Rabi'a al-Adawiyyah said: "My God, If I worshipped you out of fear of the fire, then burn me with the fire of hell; and if I worshipped you out of desire for paradise, then deprive me of it; but if I worshipped you for your love; then don't deprive me, my God, of your eternal beauty". She also said: "I did not worship Him fearing His fire and desiring His paradise, then I would be like a bad hired hand; but I worshipped Him out of love and yearning for Him".

We can read Aristotle and Hobbes for general lessons, or for the politics of the Greek city-state and of European society after the wars of religion. His work reflects a mind attracted to practical politics, to scholarship, and to mysticism. After failing in efforts to promote the public good, he turned to scholarship in an attempt to understand the past and explain the necessity that seemed to govern events. As an intense participant in the affairs of a great civilization irreversibly in decline, he was acutely aware of what was and what should be, and neither confused the two nor attempted to encompass one in the other. If there are no strong overarching loyalties, mixing of populations causes men to lose the social cohesion required for the self-rule of a free society and to withdraw into small groups in which they can maintain a coherent and predictable way of life. Common loyalties firm enough to create the civic order of Western Europe needed time and stability to evolve. It took 40 kings to make France, and no less time to grow what Burke once called the British oak; in the parts of Europe subject to invasion from Asia or North Africa nothing similar arose.

    Extractions: http://www.jamil.com/personalities/ Abd al-Rahman Ibn Muhammad, known as Ibn Khaldun after an ancestor, is considered to be the founder of modern sociology and philosophy of history. Born in Tunis, where his parents later died of the Black Death in 1349, Ibn Khaldun spent most of his life in North Africa and Spain. He led a very political life, working for a number of royal courts in North Africa, where he was also able to observe the political and social dynamics of court life. These observations would later influence his writings on the history of civilisations. Ibn Khaldun's most famous book is the Muqaddimah ("Introduction"), which he wrote as the first volume of an intended multi-volume world history. In the Muqaddimah , Ibn Khaldun set out his philosophy of history, and his views on how historical material should be analysed and presented. He concluded that civilisations rise and fall, in a cycle, as a result of psychological, economic, environmental, social, as well as political factors. His attention to more than just the political conditions of a civilisation was revolutionary, as he sought to also examine social, religious, and economic factors in explaining world history. He also pioneered the emphasis on relating events to each other through cause and effect, and drawing parallels between past and present, when writing history. He subjected his study of history to objective, scientific analysis, and lamented the clearly biased histories written before him.

These attempts have been inspired by the presupposition that both Ibn Khaldun and Hegel are basically Aristotelian in their outlook, and that Aristotle's four causes, which, for him, pertained to physics and metaphysics, were simply extended to the domain of history by Ibn Khaldun and Hegel. However, it is the main thesis of this study that Ibn Khaldun's and Hegel's approaches to causality cannot be reduced to a mechanical application of Aristotelian doctrine and that in developing their philosophies of history, both Ibn Khaldun and Hegel transformed the Aristotelian doctrine of the four basic causes. Their transformations of this doctrine were so profound that it is an oversimplification and a distortion to simply impose the Aristotelian scheme on their systems.
