Is there a term like "revolution" or anything similar in Islamic history?

Historians have used the term "revolution" (thawra) to describe seditions, public fighting, and revolts against rulers, whether just or unjust. This is evidenced by numerous examples in historical texts such as Al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya by Al-Dhahabi and Tarikh al-Islam by Ibn Kathir.

Ibn Khaldun, in his Muqaddimah, explained that any matter that requires the mobilization of the masses necessitates 'asabiyyah (group solidarity), and that strong kings and states cannot be dislodged except by a powerful demand supported by the 'asabiyyah of tribes and clans. He further elaborated that those among the common people and jurists who attempt to change evil (munkar) without this 'asabiyyah often perish, and that Allah has not commanded the change of evil except when one has the ability to do so.
