The philosophy of history according to the Ikhwan al-Safa

Abstract

undertaken by any student of the Ikhwan al-Safa group finds that they have a moral philosophical doctrine that is concerned with all sciences - and the essence of their doctrine is to look into all existing beings, search for their principles, the cause of their existence, the levels of their system, and reveal how their effects are connected. Among what the Ikhwan al-Safa and Khalan al-Wafa movement dealt with in its messages were topics that were classified as falling within the field of philosophy of history, when they focused on the stars and spheres and their effects on living beings. No two people disagree that Islamic thought production is more deserving of study and correct analysis. Since the Islamic conquest, historical awareness and philosophical thought in history have had a large share of theoretical and practical knowledge. Throughout the history of Islam and its successive times, these knowledges developed,
were renewed, and were colored in different colors, honestly expressing the opinions of their owners, their manifestations, and indications of their time. The founding of the Brotherhood of Safa and Khalan al-Wafa was a response to the crisis of the era and at the same time an attempt to overcome it, based on the knowledge and messages they proposed, and this was in a creative and innovative manner aimed at enlightening A new generation through letters that were not written by a single author , but rather were a
collective effort produced over two centuries
