In this work, we will examine the history of ancient peoples and nations, beginning with the period following the Flood of Noah (peace be upon him). We will then trace the lineage of the ancient peoples and races descended from the three sons of Noah (peace be upon him): Japheth, Shem, and Ham, and their migrations and geographical spread across the continents of the Old World: Europe, Asia, and Africa. Following this, we will explore the history of the Arabs before Islam, from their earliest ancient times, particularly from the period following the Flood of Noah (peace be upon him). We will discuss the most important ancient Arab emirates, kingdoms, and civilizations, both northern and southern, located geographically in the far north and south of the Arabian Peninsula, up to the pre-Islamic era in Mecca, in the western Arabian Peninsula, known as the “Age of Ignorance.” In this work, we have also addressed the history of Arab-Islamic civilization, beginning with the Prophetic era, passing through the Rashidun Caliphate, then the Umayyad Caliphate, and then the Abbasid era, which Muslim historians have divided into four periods: the first, second, third, and fourth Abbasid periods, up to the fall of Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, at the hands of the Mongol invasion and occupation in 1258 CE. Following this, we recounted the Mamluk era, concluding with the Ottoman era. We pray to God Almighty that we have been successful in our presentation of these successive historical events. And God Almighty is the One who guides to the right path.
