سیرت امیر ملتؒ

Ahmad D. Azhar The writer of this book has set himself a dual aim: to endeavour to reinfuse a sense of history into a people who, more than anything else, are known to history as perhaps its greatest devotees and who more than six hundred years ago, produced a historian of Ibn Khaldun’s calibre, and to endeavour to rouse the rational conscience of a West which has deliberately, at least insouciantly, or perhaps only ignorantly, forgotten history, forgotten the debt it owed to the Moorish teacher and civiliser of the “Dark” Europe, and which, taking a rather undue advantage of the present weak and ignorant East, today insists on identifying the values of the modern civilization with those of the prevalent Christianity.
