The elite of the era in the history and drawings of famous Egyptian men

The science of history is the most useful science, the highest in status, and the purest resource. It is a mirror of the events of time, and history books still have the highest status among the world. They are illuminated by their light and guided by them to the path of virtues. Therefore, men of science and history in every time and place were concerned with composing, classifying, elaborating, and arranging them, and they exerted effort in collecting them and being creative in placing and dividing them.
Historians were interested in the history of Egypt, ancient and modern, and many of them dealt with describing its kings, princes, scholars, and great men, and recorded their news, monuments, conditions, and phases, and what distinguished it in terms of the goodness of its soil and the generosity of its children.
God has created among the ancestors of this era, from all classes, men whose lives must be an adornment for the generations of future generations. Their traces must appear in the depths of the books, to be like luminous stars. Because they spent their lives doing great deeds in every field.
The author says, "It has been intended for me to make up for this shortcoming by writing a book that includes the virtues of the people of this era: Yazri, the Bite of Ages and the Predecessors of the Age, to write down these honors and collect traces of these feats, the bright guises that illuminate the night's nightbirds, and the shining pearls whose joy is embodied by the Pleiades and Suhail; to be Messages that bring to those who come after news of the role of glory and the stars of happiness."
