Among Abu Rayhan's numerous works, the writing styles of the two books Al-Athar al-Baqiya and Tahqiq ma li al-Hind can be considered types of historiography that are methodologically unique to him.
In this research, Azarnoush has examined Abu Rayhan's writing and critical method, as well as history, myth, religious studies, and chronology in Al-Athar al-Baqiya, with an emphasis on Iranian history.
Examining Abu Rayhan's diverse approaches to historiography with an emphasis on Al-Athar al-Baqiya and Tahqiq ma li al-Hind, as well as studying how he viewed history through the lens of experimental sciences and the influence of those sciences on Abu Rayhan's historiography, and emphasizing his social approaches, are the most important aspects that distinguish this article from previous research.
