Summary/Abstract: The study of social conflict in the Arab and Islamic reality cannot be approached using frameworks built in contexts different from the unique social and historical context of these societies. Each society possesses social, cultural, and historical characteristics that necessitate a genuine exploration using approaches tailored to this social fabric. We believe that understanding the Arab and Islamic social reality, especially in its conflictual aspect, requires a return to historical and sociological theoretical heritage, including the legacy of Ibn Khaldun. Ibn Khaldun attempted to comprehend social conflict based on the concept of "asabiyyah" (social cohesion) and other variables related to the development of these societies. Hence, our aim is to shed light on social conflict according to Ibn Khaldun, attempting to analyze and simplify the concepts associated with it in this context.
