- About the Book
The Muqaddimah, written by the renowned Arab historian and philosopher Ibn Khaldun, is widely regarded as one of the earliest works on historiography, sociology, and economics. Originally written in 1377, this groundbreaking text offers a comprehensive introduction to the history, culture, and social dynamics of the Islamic world and beyond. Known as The Introduction, The Muqaddimah was intended as a prologue to Ibn Khaldun’s ambitious universal history but has since gained recognition as a foundational work in social science.
In The Muqaddimah, Ibn Khaldun explores the causes and dynamics of political and social change, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the impact of geography and economics on human society. His insights into human nature, leadership, economics, and education were centuries ahead of their time, making this work essential for anyone interested in history, political science, or social theory.

Translation (Sinhala): "අතීතය ඉදිරි අනාගතයට වඩාත් සමාන වේ, ජල බින්දුවක් තවත් ජල බින්දුවකට වඩා."
Translation (Tamil): "கடந்தது எதிர்காலத்தை எவ்வளவோ ஒத்திருக்கிறது, ஒரு துளி நீரையும் மற்றொரு துளியையும் போல."
