    THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DOCUMENTS IN THE CODIFICATION OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY LEBANESE HISTORY PJAEE, 18(7) (2021) THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DOCUMENTS IN THE CODIFICATION OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY LEBANESE HISTORY Instr. Bushra Ibrahim Salman (Ph.D.) Al-Rasheed University College. Instr. Bushra Ibrahim Salman (Ph.D.) , The Significance Of Documents In The Codification Of Modern And Contemporary Lebanese History , Palarch’s Journal Of Archaeology Of Egypt/Egyptology 18(7). ISSN 1567-214x. Keywords: Documents, Lebanon, modern history, contemporary history. Abstract: Historical documents occupy a pivotal and distinct space on which researchers, historians and who is involved in the field of historical documentation and writing, especially those who specialize in modern and contemporary Lebanese history rely, as they are familiar with relevant and significant documents of specific time periods.Furthermore, documents of all kinds are among the most focal sources of knowledge and the evidence for proving or denying a historical event. In addition, they play a prominent role with the aim of linking the past with the future. Therefore, modern and contemporary Lebanese history is rich in the availability of unpublished and even published documents that presented its historical events in a chronological and in-depth manner. Introduction: It is beyond dispute that historical documents are of great importance, whether political, administrative or legal, which makes them a rich sourceofsolid studies and the basis for scientific research in the field of writing and documenting modern and contemporary Lebanese history in particular. Thus, many countries of the world in the modern era have taken on the provision of centers for the preservation, tabulation, and indexing of documents along with the preparation of paper indexes for the classification of documents, as well as the introduction of technology in the field of documents preservation and archiving so as to facilitate the job of researchers and provide what they need.

  • Multiculturalism in Islamic Civilization During the Classic Period
    ADDIN, Volume 11, Number 1, February 2017 MULTICULTURALISM IN ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION DURING THE CLASSIC PERIOD Dudung Abdurahman UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract The main objectives of this study are to map and analyze the multiculturalism pattern in Muslim civilization history during the period. Analyses are developed with historical and socio-cultural perspectives. Several patterns of multiculturalism in Islamic civilization are found: Firstly, during the Prophet and al-Khulafa ar-Rasyidun era, Islam–as a doctrine and religion system–had accomodative patterns to the cultural form in al-‘as}a>biyyah al-qabaliyyah tradition and began to perform as Arabic culture-based civilization. Secondly, during the Daulah Umayyah era, disregarding that the civilization was developed using Arabic politics, the policies regarding Islamic expansion encouraged acculturation of Arabic-Muslim and non-Arabic or non- Muslim communities, leading to the multiculturalism in Islam at that time. Finally, during the Daulah Abbasiyah era, multiculturalism became more obvious as a pattern of Islamic civilization, indicated by the roles of non-Arabic cultures in Islamic civilization development. Keywords: Islam, Multi-Cultural Community, Muslim Civilization. 27 Dudung Abdurahman Abstrak Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memetakan dan menganalisis pola multikulturalisme dalam sejarah peradaban Islam selama periode tersebut. Analisis yang dikembangkan menggunakan perspektif sejarah dan sosial budaya. Beberapa pola multikulturalisme dalam peradaban Islam yang ditemukan antara lain: Pertama, pada era Nabi dan al-Khulafa ar-Rasyidun, Islam–sebagai doktrin dan agama sistem–memiliki pola akomodatif ke bentuk budaya di tradisi al-‘as}a>biyyah al-qabaliyyah dan mulai melakukan sebagai peradaban Arab berbasis budaya.
