Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to highlight the real efforts of Al-Razis and their intellectual contribution in writing history, specifically the history of Andalusia. This research is also an effort to enrich the educational and cultural field with the historical and educational heritage of this family. They began competing with the schools of the East, especially developing research methods and investigating historical stories, as well as mixing geography with historical information, which was a distinguished research method in recording history for Andalusians. Therefore this family contributed in forming a historical school included important types of sciences. The first serious attempt to establish a base for historiography in Andalusia was in 300s A.H/ 900s A.D by one of AlRazi family members; Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Musa Al-Razi, a historian and a geographer, whose methods were followed by most historians, followed him. This family has a massive contribution in writing history; they covered the history of Andalusia and its geography during the century they lived. They described their societies and recorded all historical events, unfortunately, we don’t have a complete book of theirs, due to the historical events and what the country faced of blind extremism after the diminish of the Arab rule there.
