Ibn Khaldun's Theory of Umran: How can Muslim Countries benefit from his thought in development

Section 1
Umran Theory of Ibn Khaldun

The growth and decay of economies and societies has been of great consideration to scholars all the way through history seeking to interpret the reasons of the observable fact of the historical rises and falls of civilizations in order to prevent decay, achieve, and maintain continuous rise to their societies. No one in the history of economic notion has instituted a rational wide-ranging economic philosophy that gives logical interpretation and prediction to the grow and decay of civilizations, nations, societies, cultures, and the empires in the same way Ibn Khaldun has put together in his theory of Umran that has been revealed carefully in his Muqadimmah. Applying historical, theoretical, and empirical methods gives Ibn Khaldun theory the capacity not only to clarify the outcomes of the state policies on production and trade, investment and specialization, innovation, and development in general, but also the broad perceptiveness to foresee the continued existence of the state. According to (Yousri, 2006) Ibn Khaldun one of the first scholars who wrote in the logic of history, in his research and analysis, he carefully followed a sound scientific approach in every area that he studied until deservedly got the honor to be called "father of history" and "Father of sociology".
