Abstract
Ibn Khaldun's knowledge of civil engineering and his understanding of politics and government, based on the natural approach, distinguished his political thought from other forms of political thought, such as philosophy and political thought. He abandoned any prescriptive and practical conclusions and objectively studied the origin, evolution, duration and disintegration of the state (political power) in relation to all social phenomena. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical

What is left of Ibn Khaldun's legacy is influenced by the three intellectual currents of intellectual historiography, jurisprudence and the philosophy of the West of Islamic civilization, where power is driven into nervousness, which is the basis of the decline of governments, and his political knowledge and thought Also, in the preservation and development of the Islamic state, the link between Sharia and expediency has been established in Islamic civilization as a driving forceIn the era of widespread chaos and civil war that engulfed the Middle East and some countries of the Islamic world, Ibn Khaldun's reflections on the state, knowledge and power, decline, development and nervousness, etc. can be a suitable analysis of the world's situation.
