@BL bubble The book that was written by ibn batuta I don't know the name of the translated version I will write it in arabic So copy it if you can تحفة النظار في غرائب الأمصار وعجائب الأسفار
@AFTAB ALAM really? What's the show's name? Here in Morocco we didn't produce such a work YET. We hope to do so. i would love to watch the TV show you're talking about.
@SOUF ALL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not taught at all in schools in the UK. I introduced him to my children. What a shame how many countries in Europe and here in the UK totally skip anything to do with anyone with links to Islam.
This has got to be! What's the purpose of pointing fingers at a symbol of a silly dark religion that was spread by the power of the sword and absolute violence?
@ismash dont roast him that bad. He got inspired by ibn battuta to a point that he is ready to start his expedition but unfortunately he went north instead of south west😂😂😂.
@Pineapple on Pizza try ibn batuta....then choose clip with oriental scenes they are in three parts...45 minutes average....if you dont get send whatsup conract...l will forward direct
We Bangladeshis 🇧🇩 know Ibn Battuta well as he is studied in our education curriculum. So, as a Bangladeshi and particularly Chittagongian, I got goosebumps when on 12:20, the narrator takes the name of Chittagong, then Sylhet. I love Hazrat Shah Jalal Rahmat Ullah Alai. Surely that was the time when Muslims were having their golden time with political, intellectual and spiritual dominance.
He also was studying under great scholars of Islam on his way. mostly when you hear he stayed for few months he was furthering his knowledge and getting more certifications. That along with being already a certified judge from a family of judges made rulers want to use him and many times he would struggle to leave. If I remember right they would even get him married to locals to tie him. But staying wasn't his style I guess :D
This is so mind blowing taking into consideration the amount of logistics, energy, courage and perseverance needed for such an incredible journey, this guy deserves all our respect. Btw how did he communicate with the people he met ?
@Mario Prawirosudiro it was more common to join a caravan, and it was more common that people were nice to travelers. Horses didnt either cost much and they dont need that much fuel anyway, and if you see, one of his journeys alone took 2 years.
@Mario Prawirosudiro He is basically a travelling lawyer. A certified expert at islamic law are really sought after at that times because, well, high education is not as widespread as it is today. There is a reason why local rulers keep inviting him, someone like him are too good to let through. He got paid and acomodation in return for his services.
Arabs Muslim were avid travelers and merchants. They even travel as far as Indonesia and China in search of wealth and spreading Islam. They also thirsting of knowledge. One passage is Quran even told everyone to seek knowledge as far as the kingdom of silk.
He travelled in the Muslim world. Even though he was a Berber, Arabic was the de facto educational language in the diverse Muslim world from Morocco to Indonesia. Non Muslim nations such as India and Russia were under Muslim rule at that period of time and Ibn Battuta ususally stayed with Muslim community such as from his travel in China, Southern India and Sri Lanka.
Ibn Battuta was unapologetically himself, i really admire that about him. Even though his amazing travels are what makes him famous and well loved- there are aspects of him that will trigger you- that's not to say he was a bad man by any stretch of the imagination, but his encounters and opinions were brutally honest. He DID expect gifts from the Elite and got upset when he didn't get any, he DID expect good food and a lavish care upon him upon his arrival, he DID take advantage of his status and had wives and kids that he knew he would abandon, he DID get offended at the sight of naked tribes and church bells ringing- but that's what i love about him- his honesty in his adventures, he really let the World know who he truly was- a remarkable traveller that had a taste of the good life and really couldn't get enough of it :)
You mean: He's an arrogant snub asshole who just cares about himself? WHy do you admire that about him? That's the entire problem with the world and has been for 1000s of years..
I am from india We have a chapter of history named through the eyes of Travellers In which ibn battuta is mentioned let me tell you some facts He was arrested by muhammad bin tuqlaq but was later released after misconceptions was cleared He was also robbed many times and mentioned that traveling alone was insecured
I remember having to read his traveler's tales as an undergrad longer ago than I wish to admit. I remember being entranced by him, then exhausted by him, then sorry for him, and then I forgot about him. Enough of my own travels later I see this and see him differently. There is an Odinic quality to his seeking and that spirit moves me too. I wonder in an age of global communications and map completion is the journey that needs exploring is the one within? I'm sure now, with miles under my feet, that the inner journey is the point, and now I wonder if the inner journey was always possible from the start? I'm happy to hear the name of the traveler Ibn Battuta again.
As a moroccan, seeing this amazing figure of our history getting recognised, makes me genuinely super happy. Ibn Battuta was not only a great traveler, but also an incredibly kindhearted person!! He has witnessed many great cultures of the 14th century and has walked around the earth with a passion to never give up on your dreams. Alhumdulilah i am very happy we have had amazing people like him!!!
Ibn Battuta is one of my favourite historical personalities. I have collected some very interesting books on and about his historical voyages around the globe. He was a brave, daring, and determined person to have successfully explored the world and to put down in his diary all the people, culture, and experiences he had learned during his sojourn. No one before or after Ibn Battuta had explored the world single-handedly and returned home safe. My prayers for his soul and for the parents he had lost.
in the most of middle eastern countries his legacy is still greatly revered! I studied in Azerbaijan and i still remember our history books have hundreds of references to his travel notes as they provide an invaluable window to the middle ages of Azerbaijani history, shahs, cities, poets and life. He described Tabriz - Southern Azerbaijan in great details and talked about the ancient empires who ruled Azerbaijan. His travels and life was an inspiration for a lot of us when we were kids, we all dreamt about travelling far and beyond like him. Maybe thats why i ended up here in Australia now 10 years later, 10k km away from Azerbaijan. This Video is amazing btw, thank you so much!
It was impossible to not mention his name in history book. Even in Indonesia, when it seems like he just had a short transit, he is able to somehow manage to meet important people and store everything (well, most of it) perfectly in his mind, and write it down in a book.
I read his book Safarnama (biography) in urdu language in early 90s very interesting. Specially when he went to india and saw "satti* a widow burnt alive with her died husband after seeing this ibni batuta said in his biography that he fall and unconscious for hours there, when he woke up he saw only dust of burnt woods.
The same I have heard about a Muslim traveller who has similar name to ibn battuta Idk it was in Viking land where a girl was burned alongside an old man or woman who died of natural causes and they claimed it to be their ritual
There are many people who may have followed a similar itinerary. Ibn Batuta was lucky to write about it and at the same time write his name in history.
He was such a fiery, crazy dude for doing what he did yet respectable due to his knowledge. I would love to host and chat with him if he is alive today. To travel and be accepted in many nations shows that he is humble yet accommodating every new culture he encountered. Sure, he got paid for jobs he took around the nation and received gifts due to being guest of important people but how he maintained all that through different culture, that is magnificent. Man got skills!
I’m so glad to see this video on him. My mom would always tell me stories about him when I was a child. She told me when she was in school in Lebanon they learned about him. On a side note, I love how everywhere he went he was welcomed by a king, a high ranking government official, or a wealthy and influential person. I feel like if I made that trek and I showed up I’d probably look homeless at which point they’d kick me out loll
May Allah have mercy on his soul. I’m so proud that he visited my hometown. Big respect for my Moroccan 🇲🇦 brothers and sisters. Love from Somalia 🇸🇴 .
As a Moroccan it’s something inside us we just love travelling, I am grown up in a very poor area but yet I always had the dream to travel around the world, I studied hard and got a good job and now I visited, Malta, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Tunisia, UK, Netherlands, and Now living in Hungary, planning to continue the journey after that to the Middle East, u see it’s just something in us
WoW this guy is incredible. Thanks for making this vid, I am saddened by the dislike some have on explorers. Some were less than stellar BUT one cannot deny their adventurous spirit.
His house is in Morocco, visitors come to see it, and his grave is in Morocco, too, visitors come to visit him, and he left a beautiful book that we studied in the secondary school in Morocco.
@Devansh Gupta. Japan!? If the translation is correct, the lyrics say that his shoes went to Japan. I am Japanese. I was surprised that Japan appeared in the song. Since when is this song sung? I would like to know more. Unfortunately, Ibn Battutah is not very famous in Japan. It may be because he never visit to Japan. It can't be helped because it's farther than Beijing. I'm happy that his shoes came to Japan🥲 Thank you for making this song. I was moved by the bond between the great traveler and people of the countries he visited, who are still connected by him. What a great traveler.
My dad (who is a shiek himself) has a copy of his book (الرحلة) in his library And as one who read the book in its entirety I have to say you did a great job Bless
The moment Mombasa my home town was mentioned my heart melted and tears dropped from my eyes. This man was destined to explore the world. He was the real explorer, a man alone with trust in God Almighty. Exploring not for greed.
"I have indeed - praise be to God - attained my desire in this world, which was to travel through the earth, and I have attained in this respect what no other person has attained to my knowledge" ----- Ibn Batuta
I made it a mission upon myself,to visit Ibn Batuta’s Tomb in the Old town of Tangier , Morocco. It took me serious traveling to get there . But I’m glad I did . I did it to pay respect and Admiration to one of the Greatest travelers who ever lived .
I have read Ibn Battuta book about his travelling experience, the book contains nearly 600 pages. If anybody read this book be will be amaze how he faces so many problem and overcome it.
Sad to see the very poor research conducted here on Ibn Battuta's travels in Sri Lanka and Madurai in Tamil Nadu. The areas are just blacked out on your map with no mention of the cities and kingdoms that existed compared to other locations. I am sure there are more details of whom he met and what he experienced in these two locations if you did the research.
@Mr John. Where You From? Fun fact: Columbus was such a disgusting pedophile that even his own crewmates were disgusted by him. There's also the fact that he ste the land of the original Americans.
@Dhruva Drhu impecable logick. Americans speak english so any american citisen is an englishman - even if his ancestors came from Germany. What a time to use logic.
@Gutsu you are wrong ,this man is from a very wealthy and powerful and very well connected background ,i am moroccan and i know our stuff ,,so pls stop it
This is still the longest travel any man ever made at least to me. This man deserves his name to be found in every city of those he had been in during that long journey. If you guys read the book someday you will know how gigantic his journey was !
I've seen a documentary of many hours on Ibn Batuta and believe me thats one of the most epic real travel stories I've ever seen. The guy has seen everything
The world was a very big place back then. Imagine living there and traveling in that time. The stories you could tell, the people you would meet, the dangers.. Just marvelous!
Imagine the journey he went to and how long he took. 24 years of journey, knowledge, companions, cultures, and service. It took him 24 years to travel by whatever methods they use back in the day, and yet people are complaining when their flight were delayed!
This man I can see had been driven by curious, and had it not been for the sultan calling him back Morocco, I’m pretty sure he potentially could have explored the rest of Africa regardless of religion or doctrine. Very interesting man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm so glad that ibn-battuta has written down his magnificent story so people like us could learn from his journey, as an Algerian a Morocco neighbor country we started learning about him since elementary school with small text as "IBN_Battuta on his journey to Hadj" which every Algerian is familiar with, but also dived into some of his stories in different regions in middle school's history and french/English classes
A very well researched text , wonderfully narrated and a very clear explanatory map showing Ibn Batuta's journeys . Hoping for more such knowledgeable videos in future Thank you.
This man has written the book titled "Kitabul Rohela". He is not underrated in Bangladesh as in Bangladeshi educational institutions he must be studied in every history class.
@Oujbou Aicha it's the same in Bangladesh.... They will always teach us pre Islamic Bengal.... But they will never teach us long history of Islamic rule in Bengal..
Wait what !!!! Omg that's amazing !! But I feel so sad even us as Moroccans we have nothing related to him in our history classes which is truly a shame.. our educational system sucks
@Moyurbird @moyurbird Hello, actually I'm not that kind of knowledgeable. 😄 You can search on internet. If you still need any further help then you can mail me. I'll try to help. 😇 Best wishes for you and your son. 🙂
@OUTLANDISH PERSONNEL I'm so happy the great traveller visited my 🇧🇩 . We searched how 🇧🇩 because Muslims ☪️ & I epuld ❤️ to know who is buried in my bari (sylhet, osmaninogor, Tajpur Khazirgow) the bari ppl say its domeone important in the "mukam".can u help plz? U seem extremely knowledgeable
my ancient world history teacher taught us so much this year, everything about the paleolithic era, neolithic era, out of africa theory, ancient mesopotamia, ancient egypt, ancient rome, ancient china, the han dynasty, qin dynasty, shang dynasty, the byzantine empire, the roman republic, the carolingian empire, the babylonians, the middle ages (dark ages), the crusades, the ottoman empire, early christianity, judaism, zoroastrianism, buddhism, hinduism, taoism, early islam, and like so much more, im so thankful that i actually have a history teacher who teaches us more than american history.
Ibn Battuta lived in such an interesting period when most of Asia was recovering from the Mongol conquests going through cultural transmissions and architectural development
I am from sonargaon, Bangladesh. Ibn battuta also visited my town. When he visited Bangladesh that time Bangladesh was known as Bengal sultanate, the capital of Bengal sultanate was the sonargaon. Then he met with the ruler of Bengal sultanate fakhiruddin Mubarak Shah.
Just imagine how many travelers like Ibn Battuta there must have been throughout history who either never wrote or told their stories to anyone or their record was lost.
Yeah because he went back to Morocco after traveling to the mongol Court in China, he traveled back home to Morocco where he discovered his parents died and he later goes into Spain where he serves as an Islamic judge and traveled into the Mali empire where he settled in Timbuktu as a scholar and made it back to his hometown if Morocco where he was told by the sultan to record his discoveries and adventures after traveling all over the world and in his text he's said to travel all across Eurasia
In Anatolia Ibn Battuta actually met with the second Ottoman sultan Orhan Ghazi who was the second bey of the Ottoman Beylik at the time, he remarks that he was so generous and always on military campaigns mostly against the Byzantines.
Ibn Batuta's journies would make such a great TV show! Think Marco Polo meets Ertugrul. I don't think there's ever been a show that highlights the staggering travels, variety, and diversity of the old world as experienced by Ibn Batuta. His travels were ruly epic!
Nice documentary. I am not a big fan of travelling but after seeing this, I would love to travel and explore this beautiful world. Thanks to Ibn, the legendary traveler
@Gh Gh wrong. He never explored, he always went by known and well transited ways. Neither he had a good diary, he had plagiarised others travels. Neither he made astronomical or geographical calculations.
@Tri Ilman A. F I know but it was still probably pretty dangerous to travel around. According to the video he got kidnapped a few times but he managed to get out of it.
It's incredible the amount of leaders and local dignitaries that would welcome and then host him. He must've had some presence and a great back story to afford him such hospitality!
@Ganja Farmer You sure about the Hindus ? Hindu warriors at karbalah defending immam Hussain and the final remnants of Allah's apostle bloodline brvid.net/video/video-S2D8IReVs_s.html
Ibn Batuta entered Sri Lanka through the lagoon port of my hometown Puttalam and he mentioned the name of the city in his book. Also, he has visited the famous Adam's peak mountain in the central province as a part of his itinerary
just like Ibn Battuta , I went on my travels at an early age of 17 , however I only went round western Europe by train. Ibn Battuta your a inspiration.
@3M LONEL تكلموا على رحلات ابن بطوطة والزعبي كان مغامر ع ربي حفظه مايقتلوه بعض الشعوب المتوحشة احيانا يلقي بنفسه التهلكة في مرة قريت انه مشى لشعوب متوحشة ماخلا ل الهند ولا باكستان هنا في هد الفيديو مشى لسمرقند حدا إيران وازريبيدجان واوزبيكيستان وقالوا انه اختطف وسرق من طرف هنود والله يرحمه غامر يحسن عوانو فكرني في مغامرات بنو هلال مساكن رحلة طويلة قاموا بها مليئة بالمشاكل والحروب وأيام وشهور في العداب والغربة
@UCPgPgvYp28rJqqZwYEnOxPw والله و النعم منكم الف و نتشرف فأهل المغرب كله من الأدنى الى الأقصى 💙 للأسف نشروا الفتنة لدرجة تلاقي ابناء بلد الواحد صاروا كارهين بعض و يدوروا عاليفرقهم بدل الدين و التاريخ الطويل و المشرف الي يجمعهم،، ما بقول الا الله يلعن الإستعمار الي زرع بذور هالفرقة و القومية العمياء سواء وطنية او عرقية.. و على فكرة فالشام في كثير عائلات من أصول مغاربية و حتى فالقدس حي المغاربة تسمى نسبة للمغرابة الي سكنوه ايام صلاح الدين. و في بلدتنا في عائلة المغربي و اصولهم شمال افريقيا. و كثير من الناس الي كانت تسافر الحج ثم تقدس حجها بمعنى تمر على الاقصى في طريق عودتها من الحج، كانت تستقر فالمنطقة بطريقة او بأخرى. و هذا الكلام حتى فترة قريبة جدا، مثلا ياسين بقوش الي انشهر في مسلسل غوار كان اصله ليبي و ابوه مرض فرجعته من الحج و استقر في دمشق و ما عرف عن اصوله حتى تواصلت معه عمته بعد ما طلع عالتلفزيون فكل الوطن العربي. هذا غير العشائر و القبائل الي لها وجود فالشام و فالمغرب العربي طبعا
I really wish that we can do those travels in today's world like Ibn Battuta did back then. Traveling freely without restrictions, and without a fortune to travel, I really wish I could do the same. Mad respect for Ibn Battuta we all know and love him in the Arab world.
I had seen multiple references of him in my Indian textbooks. And had wondered how he has travelled to so many places. Didn't know he was from Morocco ❤️⚽❇️
if Ibn Battuta traveled much of the world at 1325 at the age of 21, it encourages me to make a challenge upon myself to travel the whole solar system at 2025! 🤷
when im younger, my family did tell something interesting about him, Ibn battuta once arrives at kelantan which being ruled by a queen che siti wan kembang where he presented a mousedeer to the queen, which until now being a symbol and important animal for the which is now a state in malaysia, the animal also embodied in the state's coat of arms.
He even arrived in Maldives, even now it’s hard for us to get out because we are disconnected from main continental lands, our only options are to fly, hardly locals use passenger ships, I can imagine how his journey would be back then. It’s stated that he was here around 9 months and served as a judge. Even though the journey was hard, he never had to apply for a Visa back then. In today’s age, he would have to apply to many Visas.
Depending of where you're from, you dont really need visa if you're staying for a max of 90 days. The Brazilian passport for instance allows tourists to stay up to 90 days in Europe without a visa, and in many other countries too. You just gotta know when to leave and come back, etc.
