This study is an attempt to approach the theory of historical epistemology in terms of identifying what can be an introduction that allows the first milestones of awareness of the issues of this topic in the field of Arab history, away from the traditional trajectories that seek to define the theory of epistemology, its principals, and what evaluates its basis, and to trace the definitions of history and the development of its concept, Since the research of these issues does not agree with the epistemological logic of the historical theory of knowledge itself among the Arabs. Because the theory of knowledge, within the context of the Arab and Islamic Sciences, has not witnessed an accumulation that allows it to build an integrated knowledge system that lives up to its label of the theory of knowledge, rather within the field of history. This is because examining these issues is inconsistent with the epistemological logic of historical knowledge itself among Arabs, and because that, within the context of Arab and Islamic sciences, knowledge has not accumulated sufficiently to allow for the construction of a comprehensive system of knowledge that could be considered a true theory of knowledge, rather within the field of history. Therefore, the focus will primarily be on the initial indications of Arab awareness of the issues addressed by historical epistemology. Accordingly, the study begins with a partial survey of the sources that could form the basis for these issues. This survey presupposes a review of multiple fields of knowledge, encompassing fragments that, taken together, contribute to establishing a conceptual foundation for concepts such as science, knowledge, principles, perceptions, certainty, reasoning, and sense perception within Arab cultural discourse. This aims to reveal the originality of the issues addressed by historical epistemology. To achieve the aims of this study, as mentioned above, the starting point will be a paradox that borders on the problematic. This paradox lies in the acknowledgment of the abundance of historical writing and classification, resulting in a vast accumulation of material that falls under the umbrella of historical knowledge. This includes works that were originally dedicated to history, as well as works that addressed other subjects but contained material that could be considered part of that field. However, this abundance is contrasted by a clear deficiency in the pursuit of an epistemological approach to history, even though Arabs have been concerned with the principles of epistemology since the dawn of Islamic civilization and have addressed its issues, such as the nature of knowledge, its sources, and its value. This paradox can be approached through questions, the most important of which are:

- How can the study of the duality of science and knowledge serve as a starting point for research into historical epistemology?

- What are the limits of deriving this theory from the Arab-Islamic fields of knowledge?

- To what extent does the study of the principles of knowledge contribute to establishing a cognitive framework and tools for this theory?

- How can the field of scientific understanding provide the study of epistemology with a conceptual device that establishes the foundations of this theory and enriches its research?
