Study of History - Maulana Kausar Niazi

Prologue
A few months ago, I was invited as the chief
guest by the Historical Society of Government
College, Lahore. On this occasion I delivered a
long speech relevant to the subject of Plistory,
its evolution and its Qar’anic concept which was
tape-recorded by some friends.
I am aware of my intellectual
shortcomings.
I was never under any illusion about the level
of my scholarship. But on that day I felt that
material for study had
in this speech sufficient
been collected. Afterwards many of my listeners
vigorously insisted that it should be published in
book form. Therefore after revision and a few
additions, this speech is being presented in the
booklet to the readers, although in
form of a
some places it still bears the marks of oratory.
Two points in this booklet invite particular
attention from scholars. One is, whether some
two to four hundred years ago, history was limited
to a few stories, fables and surmises, as some
reputed British scholars claim. The second is the
Qur'an's concept of history.
