So many often, Muslim historians are being accused of dedicating their works to only political and military affairs of the Islamic community and neglecting other social and anthropological aspects. Another aspect is the widely spread misconception which was taken as a non-negotiable fact that Iraq was severely detreated after the Mongol-Ilkhan occupation in 656 AH / 1258AD.
