Al-BIRUNI'S CONCEPT OF HISTORY

This article is devoted to the role of Abu Rayhan Biruni, a great figure of medieval science, culture, philosophy, economics, politics and history. It considers him as a founder of the modern scientific thinking and research methods, quantitative approaches in scientific research, experimental and observational methods and tools in science. His works, "Al-Asar-ul-Baqiya", "India", "Geodesy" and others prove that he was a devotee of the ideas of national and universal human values, reason and law, reasonable harmony of human duties and obligations, rights and freedoms, development and civilization, both in politics and social development. Research on his books “Mineralogy” and “Al-Qanun al-Masudi” confirm that his philosophy of history had a formative influence on the development of Eastern historiography and sociology of the Middle and Late Middle Ages, on the historical and social political views of Utbi, Bayhaqi, Yaqut, Ibn al-Athir, Ibn Abi Usaybiya, Abul Fido Qifti, Rashidaddin, Ibn Khaldun, and Maqrizi. And according to the concept of history, it is concluded that the aspect of historical research is not substantial, but relational, i.e. changing, updating and rising to a higher level
