Abstract

Autobiography is a well-known and useful genre of literature from which human beings are aware of each other's experiences, observations and facts. In the light of history when we study the literature of Arabic language, we have found the indications and gesture of the Ancient Arabic Literature. Such as we have mentioned some of the books where the scholars has reflected the indications of ancient Arabic literature in their books and other authorships like( Resala an Seerat e Husain Ibneishaq) or (Aseera Al Falsafiah) Fakhrudeen Raze. However the literature known as autobiography is present in their books, but the only difference is that the writer did not use the adjectives and verbs like: Diary, memoirs, and confession.
The mentioned adjectives and verbs are not common at that time. The rest of their contents are present in many Arabic language compilations.
