Diaries of the Lords of Swords and Pens in the History of Arabism and Islam

The diaries of the masters of sciences and sayings from the great book in the history of Arabism and peace. Heritage of Kamal Al-Najmi, 3-1428 AH, 416 pages, paper. Shamwa. Many writers have written about historical stories, but "diaries" are a different kind of history writing that summarizes transforming the pages of the rich Islamic Arab history into "diaries" that resemble stories, scenarios, and articles woven together. Kamal Al-Najmi, may Allah have mercy on him, turned the long, dry pages of history in heritage books into "diaries" that facilitate understanding history, deducing its causes, and learning lessons from what happened! There are two prominent groups involved in shaping Arab Islamic history: "the pen carriers and the sword carriers," meaning writers and military leaders... Writers were the mind of the state and its spoken tongue, expressing its thoughts and policies. Among them came ministers, so writers, ministers, and commanders became one class in reality, and the pen and sword were equal in status, influence, and impact on the course of events... Since the beginning of Islamic history, writers and commanders appeared, including writers of revelation and prophetic messages, as well as great commanders whose names shone in Islamic conquests. The history of Arabs and Muslims flowed under the ears of the sword and pen masters, under their eyes, and their hands played in its course. Some drowned in its depths, for history was made by their hands, and they, with their hands, moved and created history! With these historic men, our author, may Allah have mercy on him, met in this book, committed to truth, historical honesty, and rejecting the legends and exaggerations abundant in heritage books. He transformed lengthy, dry reports into stories and simple diaries, narrating the hero's life as if he is whispering to the readers or speaking to himself!
