Note: The following article was of academic articles and has nothing to do with the establishment of any organization.
Preliminary
In fact, to talk about Ibn Khaldun, whether from the historical point of his life, his contribution to world science, is indeed much to be said. Many scholars from various fields of science, whether from the Islamic world or the western world have been studying about Ibn Khaldun. However, to make this paper does not run from the scope of the discussion, the author will specify the study to answer two questions arising under the discussion of why the intellectual legacy of Ibn Khaldun said to be unique and what is contained in the philosophy and history of Ibn Khaldun and he remain fresh and relevant even today adopted?
Ibn Khaldun's real name is Abd. Al-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Khaldun al-Hadrami. He lived in the 14th century AD, when the Muslims suffered setbacks and split times while Europe experienced the rise time of Renaissans. Setback is meant here is that the discord among the Muslims with regards to sects and divisions among ethnic Berbers, some supporting the rule of al-Murabitin and there are also pro-al-Muwahhidun. As a result, Muslims have suffered a setback in the intellectual field in which most of the works that emerged when the only form of lectures on the works of the era of Islamic supremacy is simply to give an explanation and a more detailed explanation of an earlier work. In contrast to the works of Ibn Khaldun who has produced a new idea, especially in the field of historiography.
He has been studying the field of religion during his youth, which indirectly affect his thinking and writing his works. It is evident from the Ibn Khaldun had placed the exception of the miracles of the prophets in the concept of causation in philosophy and history. Tenure is the difference between a scholar of Islam with Western scientists. Although one is free to use in studying the nature of mind, but a religious advisor to determine any matter. In contrast to the concept of knowledge in the western world who consider religion as pengongkong to human progress.
Ibn Khaldun skilled in various fields including politics, economics, geography, philosophy and history, but he is more likely to feel the field of history because the history of science is important because the knowledge of history, people will get the truth and learn from past mistakes of the nations. In addition, the author argues, Ibn Khaldun is more likely to produce a book or work of history as lived experience of Ibn Khaldun himself surrounded by a variety of events that affect him. In the history of his life, he spent much time traveling from one place to another, either by its own accord or was forced to do so because the plan individuals who envy him or the direction of the government. He got a lot of lessons and experiences from its relationship with the government, politicians and scholars and scholars in North Africa, Spain, Egypt and other Muslim territories. These are encouraged to tell the Ibn Khaldun in the form of a work of history.
2. Intellectual Ibn Khaldun
Prior review of the unique history of Ibn Khaldun's work, must first know a little of the works produced by the Ibn Khaldun. Normally, most researchers only debate of the Book Muqaddimah but not many know that the book is Muqaddimah advance work on a book or a larger titled Kitab al-Diwan al-wa'Ibar Mubtada 'wa al-Ayyam newspaper al-fi' 'Ajam wa al-Arab wa al-Barbar wa man 'Asharahum Dzawi min al-Sulthan al-Akbar, which means the Scripture lesson and set about the origins and events of the days of the Arabs, Persians, Berbers and the people of their contemporaries which has a strong power.
This work has been divided into four sections, namely Introduction (al-Muqaddimah) the debate about the discipline of history and philosophy of history. Also included a debate about the mistakes of the previous historians. The first book to discuss things in general culture, dynasty, king and government, the question of finding the property search and discussion about the diversity of knowledge. The book describes the history of the Arab nation and the nations of his contemporaries, such as Coptic, Greek, Roman and Turkish. Third book also describes the history of the Berbers and Zanatah, especially the government and the countries of North Africa (Morocco).
Apart from al-Ibar contained therein Muqaddimah book, Ibn Khaldun has produced a book featuring his autobiography. Book is called al-Ta'rif bi Ibn Khaldun wa wa Syarqan Rihlatuh Garban. Al-Ta'rif has recorded the life of Ibn Khaldun since his youth up to several months before his death. Therefore, it is no doubt that al-Ta'rif has been displaying the entire life of Ibn Khaldun. However, what is interesting, Ibn Khaldun has written a book of al-Ta'rif is the feeling of openness to criticize him if he had made a mistake in the historical life without trying to hide the error to the reader. Apart from al-Ibar, the book Muqaddimah and al-Ta'rif, Ibn Khaldun also wrote several other books, but it is not as good as these three books.
In the book Muqaddimah, Ibn Khaldun has brought a new approach to writing history than historians previously to produce a new method or form of writing in a particular historical period and within such time. Unlike previous works of history, Ibn Khaldun in the beginning of this work is in the preliminary (Muqaddimah) has discussed the errors of previous historians, and the angle of the various aspects of this that makes the work of Ibn Khaldun is unique compared to previous works. While previous works just bring the stories handed down from the previous individuals without any process of criticism and interpretation. Ibn Khaldun as a historian, not only to record historical events, but more than that was trying to study the underlying causes and reasons which caused a kelogikan historical events and the occurrence of an event of history. For example, al-Mas'udi has stated that Moses army of 600,000 has been raised in the desert at-Tih. Ibn Khaldun was menyakal fact by stating the impossibility of Egypt and Syria have a military that is about as each government is only appropriate to have military power and majesty of the government alone. It is not possible a government that has little power will have a very large group of soldiers who exceeded his authority. In addition, Ibn Khaldun also argued, may not be collected or control the total number of troops to move in a single battle in the form of a union.
In addition, this Muqaddimah works which were originally intended as a work history also includes various other fields such as political science and sociology of science. This is because Ibn Khaldun himself holding the position that all individuals involved in the field of history should have more knowledge in other fields. Ibn Khaldun states:
"On this day, the scholars involved in this field should
have knowledge of the principles of political, nature
all things, the differences between the nations, where-
places and times in relation to the way of life,
moral values, habits, groups, faiths
and everything else. Furthermore, he needs
comprehensive knowledge about the current situation in all its aspects. "
An interesting point about the work of Ibn Khaldun is a way of writing is not to praise or denounce the shape of an object instead of history is to know and understand the laws that cover human development. This clearly shows that Ibn Khaldun did not intend to provide an assessment of an individual or a government. Therefore, Ibn Khaldun's historical research methods similar to the method of public sociology that emphasizes the attributes and causal factors of a historical event.
3. METHOD AND PHILOSOPHY HISTORY Ibn Khaldun
How and why an event happened is what's important in the history of the method and philosophy of Ibn Khaldun. Knowledge of history should be reviewed and the issue of a history behind the events and not only tells the incident of the event alone. The study of how a historical event occurred would create problems because, as a result of which, according to Ibn Khaldun all events will not occur by itself or by chance. Every event that occurs is controlled by its own laws which the law can be sought and found and then can be applied in research on civil society, civilization and history. Ibn Khaldun states:
"In fact, history in other words, consists of research
and the search for truth, subtle explanation of the causes and
original objects, understanding and knowledge of the sub stansi, essence and
knowledge of how and why of events.
Thus, history is really rooted cornerstone of philosophy. "
Further, the results of these studies will serve as a lesson to be known by later generations. This is the desired goal of history by Ibn Khaldun. The proof can be seen from his own title that reads al-Ibar is the sense in the Arabic language should be translated as lessons, guidance and teaching. Historical events would not recur in the same form, but the experience and lessons learned from these events should be held to meet the current and subsequent periods. Ibn Khaldun has stated:
"History makes us understand the affairs of a nation previously
as it is reflected through their behavior. Through history we can
biography of the prophet, a government and policies of the king-
king. It allows anyone who is interested menteladani examples
as the history of religion and worldly things "
Members should be skilled historians to interpret historical events in the history of philosophy into something scientific. In making the analysis and perception of an event of history, Ibn Khaldun has placed several conditions that must be avoided or withholding is written in the book as a weakness Muqaddimah previous historians.
1. Attitude in favor of the sect or a particular class.
2. Too dependent on the information told by a storyteller.
3. Failure to understand the meaning of what is seen or heard in the next
convey the information in the form of assumptions only.
4. The mistaken belief of the truth.
5. Not able to put an event on the reality of the position
real.
6. Medekatkan tendency to bow to authority and speaker
7. Not knowing the laws and character of changes in society.
History is dynamic and constantly changing. For Ibn Khaldun, the main character of historical change and development is a 'Ashabiyyah. 'Ashabiyyah makes a nation or a country suffering from the fall and rise. Nature 'Ashabiyyah encourage a high sense of responsibility among the individual against society itself. The existence of a government or country from the 'ashabiyyah Sughra (small) strong relationship in the community. Next he will form and develop into a 'ashabiyyah unsuccessful (large), and finally progressing towards producing a (power). Then the power or the country will experience the devastation caused by factors kendurnya nature 'asyabiyyah in their community. Relations' is a loose ashabiyyah causing various problems in society such as the tyranny of government, the occurrence of fraud and other destruction of the progressing towards the end. Serra was eventually replaced by another progressing towards the first start of the 'ashabiyyah sugra.
In addition to 'Ashabiyyah, environmental factors, economics and religion also play a role in changing history. In his first discussed the matter of civilization in general, Dynasty, King and government, the question of finding the property search and discussion about the diversity of knowledge that all the factors associated with changes in history. There is no doubt, natural factors such as natural disasters, the outbreak of the disease is seen as one of the factors that could cause the collapse of society and civilization. The same economic factors that serve to control the social life of society can be a factor in the development of a collapse or a civilization. Religious factors are viewed from the perspective of his role in the moral strength of a society.
Resource play is to make a work of authority or otherwise. Resources can be divided into two types: the first is referred to as a source of primary sources and secondary sources referred to as a secondary source. The first source is the source of which is in original condition either has not interpreted or completed. While the second source is the result of a written paper or on a particular event or item that is based on the first source. Ibn Khaldun be very careful in the reference source in the paper's history. Resources used in Ibn Khaldun wrote Kitab al-Ibar is the main source and secondary sources. The third book al-Ibar was used as the primary source of Ibn Khaldun's experience of living in the middle of barbarian nations. The second book on the history of the Arabs, Ibn Khaldun was the second source is derived from earlier historians. However, this second source of revenue is not received in total, but Ibn Khaldun was a criticism of the stories of questionable authenticity. This principle is completely different from previous historical works. Ibn Khaldun has stated:
"Many historians and scholars have made a mistake
when presenting the story-the story and events. This
This happens because they take so without
think of its value. They did not examine the principles
occurred in the history of the situation, not memperbandingkannya with
similar materials. They also did not investigate
according to the size of philosophy, with the help of knowledge about the character
universe and with detailed knowledge of
historical events. "
Resources containing information or information relating to Islamic law, the Ibn Khaldun was the approach or methodology in hadith sciences judge. Methods of knowledge hadith is meant here by way of review from the point of periwayatan from one person to another until it came to the Prophet Muhammad This method can be viewed and reviewed the books of Hadith such as Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, Hadith at the beginning of each set would display the narrators of hadith narrators, so that listening to the narrators of the Prophet's own Methods of knowledge hadith Grand Schools have also stressed the concept of evaluating a person narrators. If it can be proved that the narrators have condemned properties as a liar, a traitor and even a lot of talk about useless though, it immediately brought the hadith would be rejected by him. Appropriate information or information related to Islamic law, Ibn Khaldun states:
"The degree of critical thought that what is considered reasonable
it is part of the information in the sense of historical truth.
Or interpretation that is not accepted by scholars mind
it is something that will make it doubted its authenticity.
Critics of personality will be considered in relation to matters
kewajarannya (or to be less fair) in the case of Islam.
The reason is, information relating to Islam is a touch
-law rulings as may be prescribed by the judge.
It is a prohibition order and require any person
Islam in compliance. How to make sure it is as true is
to ensure that it comes from someone who behaves honestly "
4. CONCLUSION
Based on the methods and philosophies of history such as Ibn Khaldun has been discussed, whether the methods and philosophy are still fresh and intact at the monument in the middle of the world thought. Writer, the answer is related to the relevance of the method and philosophy of history can be used until today,. Methods and philosophy of science history Khaldun certainly be applied to this day. Debate about the importance of historical knowledge, the question of interpretation in history, the question of approach and sources in history have always been the focus of scholars in this method and philosophy of history. The only thing that distinguishes between the views of Ibn Khaldun and scholars are Ibn Khaldun's view is that the basic character has not developed in accordance with age and time. The basis is found in the 14th century with the lack of facilities that exist at a time when, the basic findings are regarded as a very modern at that time.
In addition, as a Muslim scholar, Ibn Khaldun always placed a high from the point of the eyes of Islamic scholars in recent times. How could the Islamic scholars today would use the ideas presented by the West as the main holding them as long as such ideas still exist in the historical works of Ibn Khaldun. The use of history and philosophy of Ibn Khaldun on an ongoing basis is what makes the work of Ibn Khaldun's history remains intact and fresh to this day.
