The Method and Insight of the Historiography of Masturah Ardalān in the Book Tārīkh al-Akrād

The book Tārīkh al-Akrād by Masturah Ardalān is one of the works on the history of Kurdistan that includes the political events of Ardalān rulers by Mastoore Kurdestani. The question is that Tārīkh al-Akrād in which types of historiographies is being placed, and what is its author approach, method and vision in this work? The findings of the research show that Kurdish history is in the category of traditional dynastic historiography and the principles of traditional historiography can be well observed in it. In analyzing the events, the author believed in divine dispensation and believed less in the role of human will and planning in the formation of events. In this context, she has done a little analysis of events and overall, due to providential thinking, she is more of a deterministic historian than a rationalist. The writing style of the book is also simple and literary.
