It is a book written by Ahmed Amin, and it is one of the historical writings, as it presents a inherent view of Islam through successive eras, in which it explains the image of Islam in light of the succession of the ages, and the role of humanity active in Islamic civilization. The book is considered a form of historical documentation, as it is distinguished by its wealth in religious topics, and its mention of historical characters during the era of Islam and its peak, and its passage of the events that passed through it during these ages. It included illustrative disclosure of fundamentalist pillars, and the legislative principles on which Islam was based, and was based on its pillars throughout the ages, which was based on the name of the book with this name. It is stated in the forefront that the most important purpose of this production is to show the essence of Islam from it, and how it was, while the second purpose is that many Muslim leaders followed themselves in explaining the reasons for the weakness of Muslims. One of the motives for writing in this field was necessary to refer to history, as it is the theater from which the inspiration based on documented science is derived.
