10 mistakes that changed history

Author: Salah Al-Shahawi Publisher: Deir Publishing and Distribution Publication date: 2025 Book classification: History Number of pages: 231 Format: Paperback Synopsis: - History is not something written once but a material written hundreds of times and constantly re-written, whether due to the emergence of new information about any page of history or due to developments in historical doctrines and philosophies and the emergence of tools for the historian who finds within himself the ability and desire to contribute to the discussion of a particular topic from history. Therefore, writing history — whether of an individual, a mother, or a scholar — is an inherently renewed process. Also, history is not something written by a single entity, so there is no individual, entity, state, or group of states monopolizing the writing of history, even if it is their history. False historical tales and rumors cause much confusion and disorder, leading some to see them as falsification of history. There are cases where a kind of story is fabricated and promoted as real history, with those relying on this pattern writing a story by a writer without a real historical basis, then the story continues in subsequent writings, with references to the first writer as a source. Amid this successive narration, which sometimes refers to itself as a form of confirmation, the truth of fabricating the story disappears. But because the truth is always the remaining and its followers, Allah reveals it even after a long time, so that Allah destroys falsehood and vanquishes it, and thus virtues and rights return to their owners, and the falsehoods invented by liars and those behind them are removed from them. This is what this book is about.
