The article emphasizes the importance of the wonderful work of Ibn Khaldun called "Mukaddimah" and his important scientific conclusions about the sociality of a person, his cognitive abilities, as well as about the five stages of the formation of the state, the sources that serve for the development of the state, and the economic life of society. The article presents Ibn Khaldu's information about the origin of human society, the reasons for its socialization, as well as his thoughts about the source of history and the duties of historians.
