DAY 307
The Muqaddimah
مقدّمة ابن خلدون
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Why do empires rise and fall?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading the laws of civilizational development set down by a fourteenth-century Islamic scholar, I could not withhold my astonishment at the sweeping vision with which he saw through history. Through the concept of asabiyyah—group solidarity—Ibn Khaldun analyzes with sociological precision how power is born, grows corrupt, and falls. If you wish to understand the cycles of human society, lose yourself in the grand historical sketch of this great thinker.
