Abstract
Imam Muhammad binJareerTabari, commonly
known as IbneJareerTabari was a renowned
scholar of his time. He was born in “Aamil” an
area of Tabaristan and led his life in Baghdad
(capital of Iraq). He was a scholar of Tafseer,
Hadith and History. As Mufassir he wrote
“TafseereTabari”, as Historian “Tareekhul Umam
WalMuluk” and many other books. Some people
link him to Shia (an Islamic sect), but they make
mistake about him as Another Tabari, by chance,
with same name exist in the history who was a Shia
scholar. He was also the writer of many books. This
article discusses the services of IbneJareerTabari,
who was the scholar and representative of Sunni (a
sect of Islam). As a historian, as said earlier, he
wrote a famous book with the name of
“TareekhulUmamWalMuluk”. He discusses many
events in a different way than other historians.
