Islamic historiography

Islamic historiography refers to the study and writing of history related to the Islamic world, its civilizations, and religious figures. It combines religious texts, oral traditions, and archaeological evidence to construct narratives about Islamic history. Historians within this tradition often analyze sources critically while respecting their religious significance. Over centuries, Islamic historiography has evolved, incorporating diverse perspectives from different cultures and periods, and aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the development of Islamic societies, faith, and politics through a mix of faith-based and scholarly approaches.
