Investigating the heritage of the Islamic historiography requires case studies of Muslim historian`s works in an inductive way so as to be able to show the process and procedure of its appearance, formation, development and finally its stagnancy. The development of Islamic historiography has occurred through the three following stages: the first century, the stage of oral narration; the second one, the stage of collection and writing; and the third century, the stage of compilation and formulation of historical resources of different topics in diverse approaches. Yaqubi who lived in the third century was among the founders of the school of Islamic historiography in the stage of formulating general history of the world with a cultural approach. The basic subject of this paper is to recognize resources of the history of world`s general culture until the third century, which has been used by yaqubi. Moreover, this paper seeks to prove the hypothesis that by pivoting on quran and reling on wisdom, he has firmly taken the first step in presenting the pattern of universal history of culture among the Muslim historians.
