This Encyclopaedia has become a classic work for its exhaustive study of 359 Muslim Historians and more than 100 Historical Works from the early Islamic history to contemporary Muslim World. From the very beginning Muslim Historians recorded historical anecdotes with particular emphasis on date and year a practice quite unknown to other nations till that time. Their early works give significant evidences of their historical consciousness as well as their awareness of scientific treatment so far as the arrangement of historical material is concerned. There can be no doubt that a new and thorough study of the Muslim historiographers and their works is a great scientific need felt by all the scholars working in this field.
