The History of Oman from Human Settlement to the End of the Ibadi State

The new publication is part of the historical encyclopedia on the history of Oman, for which His Highness chose a name with precise connotations and profound implications: "Sultan Al-Tawareekh" (Sultan of Histories), meaning "The Authority of Histories."
With this publication, the Sultan Al-Tawareekh encyclopedia is now complete. The encyclopedia consists of four volumes: The first volume discusses the history of Oman from human settlement to the end of the Ibadi state. The second volume presents the history of the Nabhani kings in Oman from 1154 AD to 1622 AD. The third volume reveals the history of the Yaruba in Oman from 1622 AD to 1747 AD. The encyclopedia concludes with the fourth volume, which highlights the history of the Al Busaid Imams in Oman from 1749 AD to 1856 AD.
His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah included five chapters and five appendices in the first volume, "The History of Oman from Human Settlement to the End of the Ibadi State." In the first chapter, His Highness discussed human settlement in Oman. In the second chapter, he unveiled the kings of Al-Azd in Oman. In the third chapter, he shed light on Oman in early Islam and subsequent eras. In the fourth and fifth chapters, he extensively discussed the first and second Ibadi states in Oman.
His Highness supported his book with appendices containing rare documents, unique maps, and photos of rare and precious coins and artifacts discovered in Sharjah. Over three years of serious scientific research, study, scrutiny, examination, excavation, and deep immersion into books, His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi was able to guide the compass of Oman's history to its correct course. With an honest and trustworthy pen and decades of experience, he wrote a pure and clear history in an engaging narrative style and an enjoyable storytelling presentation, correcting data, refining information, documenting news, and verifying archaeological findings.
In writing the Sultan Al-Tawareekh encyclopedia, His Highness relied on his deep academic knowledge in history, geography, and archaeology, his extensive experience in artifacts and documents, and his wide access to valuable manuscripts. His Highness also drew his information from his personal collection of rare books, unique references, and sole manuscripts, and from the treasures of archaeological manuscripts, documents, and valuable maps in his library.
The Sultan Al-Tawareekh encyclopedia, with its four volumes, is a valuable historical treasure for revealing historical facts, archaeological sites, and events that occurred in Oman and the Arab coast, and for shedding light on the truths and turning points in Oman's history.
