Ibn Khladun theory of Al-Umran and Ashabiyah has offered a big concept about civilization, culture, and communal ties that are generated through his research on Muslim society as its focused object. In Indonesia, the study of the sociology of religion often refers to the big names of sociologists born from the West socio-historical context.
However, only few attempts use Ibn Khaldun's perspective as an analytical tool in the discipline of sociology. Ibn Khaldun became popular with several names, such as Sociologist, Economist, and the founder of social science. Through this work, he became the only Muslim scientist whose methods and knowledge basis were accepted by the West.
Ibn Khaldun was popularly known as a Muslim intellectual since the West discovered his work, Muqaddimah.
