His birth and upbringing

Imad Abd al-Salam Raouf al-Attar was born in Baghdad in 1948, from a family of Mosuli origin, of Abbasid descent, and received his primary education there.^[1] He grew up in the locality of Al-Saadoun, then he moved with people to a modern house in the Raghbet Khatoun area. He studied in Raghba Khatoun in the Hariri school, then Al-Nairat School, then Al-Qabas Primary School in the Al-Aqoulia locality, then Al-Mamounia Primary School in Al-Waziriya, then the Sharkia School in Raghbet Khatoun. Then they moved in 1961 to Al-Yarmouk and studied there at Al-Mamoun Intermediate School.^[2]

Education

He studied at the University of Baghdad "College of Arts / Department of History" and graduated in 1970. Then he continued his higher studies at Cairo University and obtained a master's degree in modern history in 1973, for his thesis (The State of Mosul in the Galilee Era 1749–1834). He received a doctorate in 1976 at the same university for his thesis (Social life in Iraq during the Mamluk era 1750–1831).^[3]

Career

He was assigned the head of the Center for the Revival of Arab Scientific Heritage at the University of Baghdad. and Professor of Modern History at Ibn Rushd College of Education (University of Baghdad).^[4]

A number of theses have been written about his work in many Arab universities. Some of his books have been translated into English, French, Turkish, Persian, Kurdish, Indonesian and Chinese. He published dozens of research papers in many journals Scientific, academic and court, including:

Sumer (Baghdad) Arab Historian (Baghdad) Al-Mawrid (Baghdad) Journal of the Iraqi International Council (Baghdad) Rafidain Literature (Mosul) Contemporary Muslim (Cairo) Islamic Knowledge (Malaysia) Renewal (Malaysia) Science and Faith (Khartoum) Umm Al-Qura University Journal (Mecca) Al-Mutar (Morocco) Al-Insan (Paris) Islamic Studies (Pakistan) Journal of Islamic History (India) Perspectives on Culture and Heritage (United Arab Emirates) Yearbook of the College of Sharia, Law and Islamic Studies (Doha) Al-Afaaq (Oman) Publishing hundreds of articles, cultural research and historical works (study theorizing, criticism and creativity) in nearly seventy Arab and Islamic magazines and newspapers.^[5]

His opinions

• The importance of history in peoples lives by presenting an image of the roots to which that people belongs, History represents the identity of each people, for when concepts are disrupted, only history remains a fixed identity for a people. A nation that is ignorant of its history is a nation without an identity, and whoever does not have an identity can fall victim to others and fall under constant challenges influence. Perhaps his convictions would be disturbed and he took a course that was detrimental to his national interests.
• We must remember that the American dream of the future is also based on an understanding of history. Many say that the new world was born when it was discovered by Christopher Columbus. Although the new world is an extension of the old world, it is an evolution from it, and it is a new birth for it. Man in America is a cumulative product of many civilizations that he was able to interact with lively in order to transform this interaction into energy that pushes him forward. This is a general rule, but we were satisfied with looking at the past and admiring it, meaning stopping by it and turning it into something like an endless lunch, even though its time is over and we need a new food. That is, to conform with our time in which we live, and to build for a future time. They also benefited from their present and their past, as American civilization is the daughter of European civilization.
• Those who promoted globalization as the last crucible for the fusion of civilizations into one global civilization and heralded the emergence of a single global political system that would abolish the plurality of nations and the plurality of cultures, nationalities, religions, concepts and values, These heralded the end of history. Those who said that this is the end of history, were right, if their intention of globalization was to abolish these pluralities, these identities, and these values. Yes, they are right. Because there will be nothing left but one totalitarian regime, one economy, and one state that imposes its hegemony on the whole world. But I see that this is something that has not been experienced yet, and we cannot evaluate this new experience, There is diversity, what is necessary for the continuation of life, and the abolition of this diversity means that the world will end, as they say, and we believe in view of this great diversity of values, civilizations and cultures, that the end they said, is not achieved, and it is at least not experienced for now.
• These nations should search for their strengths, as Japan imposes itself with its technological empire, and the European Union imposes its entity or importance through what is produced, and so are other nations, In the sense that we have to work in order to elevate ourselves so that we can stand, not directly at the top, because this is not possible and we will not be able to do so, except after generations that we do not know, but at least to stand in the club of countries, say the twenty or thirty developed in the world .
• The problem is our delay in “work.” They worked and created their present and their future, benefited from their past and interacted with it and made their present, and they are now building for their future. As for us, we do not work, and there is no difference between us and them except work, and so that we do not perish, we must work, because in the event of our disappearance the world will lose itself, because it will lose an element that can play a role in the continuation of history. Extinction is not intended for the physical aspect, but the spiritual aspect of existence, because we will be expelled from the circle of life and live enslaved to those who worked and enslaved us, as is happening now in the world, there are peoples threatened with extinction, as is the case in Africa, which is threatened with extinction with famines and civil wars.

Death

Imad Abdul Salam Raouf died in the city of Erbil, on June 27, 2021, at the age of 73, most of whom spent in the service of science, history, heritage and Arabic Islamic manuscripts.
