This research deals with the most important findings of Arab
Knowledge and historical News (Akhbar) in pre – Islamic period,
based on the koran, which is the best and most authentic written
Islamic Arabic source absolutely ; being an essential source for this
study . for it shows great concern towards history , specially that
of Prophets , Akhbar of perished nations such as ‘Ad’ ,Thamud,
Ashab al – Fil , as well as others , which are repeated in several
Kuranic verses being as a sermon or lesson to those Arabs
opposing Islam . Moreover , the Koran contains clear hints about
history and important events that took place in pre – Islamic era .
Historical facts and archeological discoveries have Proved the
authenticity of what the Koran mentioned , concerning perished
Arabs , However , we may go further to say that it is more possible
that the Arabs have had “books” , “papers” and “Parchments” on
which they wrote “Akhbar” , Historical Knowledge in pre – Islamic
times especially in the period that preceded Prophet Muhammad
prophecy , though it did not come down to us , as we learn from
the Koran. |
