How did Ibn Battuta Explore the World? 

😊😊😊

In those days for a trveller one has to be very lucky to make it back home again.

Travelled 120000 km of Africa, Europe & Asian countries...

Agree

It would be so interesting

True. My man was on his way home after decades and decided to make a detour for another pilgrimage.

His readiness to fight against alfonso too truly an amazing character ❤️🔥

@Hussein Mahmoud yessss I was surprised he immediately turned into a fighter for the sake of his Muslim brothers 🥹

If Internet was present in those times, his Iman would have shattered in a span of few years.

He was a powerful lose horse fit for traveling not for wars and not for glories, thank God for that...

@Only Vibes why

I'm going to tell you something that's even more shocking most Moroccans don't even know him or we only know that he's Moroccan which is truly a shame he was not mentioned not even once in the whole 12 years of school life like how ridiculous is that?

He's more famous in India and Bangladesh but not in his home country 💔😭

@Oujbou Aicha Every high school passed is familiar with his name & work in Pakistan.

Really !!! Even in japan !! Waw thats amazing

Omg even in japan ! Wow, I read his books, and next time, when I travel to morroco, I'll go to tangier my favorite city

Really? I'm a Moroccan in Korea and they barely know about Morocco

@Sa hi I'm from Canada

LoL

Love Morocco from Pakistan ...

No he's algerian even if he was born in tangier. You should study some algerian Logic it's one of a kind.

@SOUF ALL lol

@SOUF ALL looool 😂😂

@SOUF ALL lool

wow so deep aim goanna craey

WHERE DID you find itttttt......🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

@MR 2Nice I wrote it.

@MR 2Nice learn Arabic bro

Yup that true

Can you tell me the name of the book??

​@SupKashRihla (the travels)

the book has been a reference in hollywood in historical / science-fiction MOVIES

@SupKash Ibn Battuta’s travels

waw, i never know that

If that was true, it would be pretty cool.

Wow this is new to me, thx for sharing this marvelous info =)

What's the name of the book you read?

@Zakir Naik Ahmad Deedat My schoolbook when I was in middle school. Wikipedia Indonesia also mention this. I think they using same citation from Hamka's book "Sedjarah Islam di Sumatera" (1950). id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatra But Wikipedia English did not mention this. They explain that earliest mention about "Sumatra" can be dated to 1017, far before Ibn Battuta came to this island. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatra

we in morocco do not need visa to go to maldives and vice versa

In Maldvies : he got to rule and converted all budist to Muslims.

Designer Dot a Somali from Mogadishu converted Maldives from Buddhist to Islam. He was also a governor.

Hé had three wives in the maldives

Leesha, glad to see a Maldivian interested in history instead of the gossip and baseless celebrity which flood the internet, may you be blessed with knowledge.

what does it have to do with morocco ? you guys are crazy in love with your "countries"

​​@-in case you haven't watched the first part: he is moroccan. also, you aren't in love with your country my guy? the will to love your homeland and protect it doesn't exist there?

@Briish monke why should i love a piece of land i had no choice of being born in ? for you info ibn battuta was a learned imam of islam and he knew that nationaism or tribalism is prohibited in islam

​@- nationalism and tribalism isn't prohibited in islam ... Allah literally says in the quran "We created you from a male and a female, and We made you races and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. The best among you before Allah is the most righteous" ... feeling proud about ur tribe and nation is not bad at all ...the only bad thing is thinking you're nation is superior to another one or your race is superior than the other ones and for that u can oppress the others or commit crimes against them... the only way for u to be "superior" is how much of good deeds a person can do and only allah can judge that

oh yes!

Timeless quote that will carry on until the final nights of our species!

Can you say the quote in it's original language?

@musaab . "السفر يجعلك عاجزا عن الكلام.. ثم يحولك إلى راوٍ" اين بطوطه

@meshowz aq ما أظن هذي المقولة الأصلية، تبدو لي مترجمة

There is a great book called "Travels With a Tangerine" about following his footsteps....

A series would be much better than a movie, no? There are many stuff that can be added in a series such as character developement and detailed cultures compared to just a single movie.

@Rete Guy true, good point

ewa geertje

You sure Geert? Heb je een hekel aan moslims? 🤪

محضوض مع انه انا من المغرب مزال مجاتني الفرصة

Me too I feel so proud to have ancestors like him, he's the real legend ❤️

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

He was a highly educated man, At that time, the world's scientists were traveling to Morocco to study and do not forget that the first university built in the world is in Morocco ( The country of Ibn Battuta). So he had a great value and a deep respect from people in the world at that time. He was a wise thinker and philosopher as well.

He was a wise man due to his experiences and meeting different human kinds

@Diae i love his style indeed 😊, i fail to imagine how many languages he'd speak lol.

@Annu Kim IMPRESSIVE. What a quest. The fact that is was written down - our great fortune. Thanks for the information. I am now Googling first university in the world. So much to learn.

no no he was greedy alright, he expected rulers to give him fortunes as presents, and they did, many times, being a muslim judge at that specific time was probably the best job there's, especially in the newly muslim lands were they are rare

@Jandroid if you want to travel and get food you need money bro .

@Jandroid Yes, he was soliciting gifts, payments only to finance his travels, he never spared his wealth to settle down somewhere in the shade. It's quite different from what motivated Columbus, Marco Polo and Vasco De Gama. The proof is when he came back to Morocco, he wasn't rich and he had survived only on his inheritance and the generosity of Morocco's Sultan.

@Jandroid i mean he's taking gifts from the kings for his job

Reinhard i came up with that from his biography, his book, and also from his life outcome, he family was rich, so he could have stayed home and enjoyed his wealth, he often moves from place to place when he could have stayed to enjoy the hospitality of the rulers/Kings whom they favoured him. And most importantly, he retired and died without a wealth, without being nominated a governor over a new earned territory for his king/Sultan, he didn't rename any place after his queen/king, he didn't wage a war, bribed a local leader to fight an opposant tribe, he didn't seek for a new route to reach some rich country to buy their stuff cheaper, he didn't hire mercenaries for his cause, he didn't transmit diseases through gifts to indigenous people, he didn't enslave them. Now shut up go fish elsewhere.

Because we live in a European centric world. Everyone knows Marco Polo, but few know Ibn Batuta

Through translators I think. Islam was already spreading at the time, and so there would usually be some muslim merchants who can speak both Arabic and the local language. For me, the financing part is more mind-boggling.

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.

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.

@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.

how did he manage to travel such long distances through forests and deserts under harsh conditions by foot

In India a golden time but in the rest of the world Mongols were in the process of converting to Islam and making the Mongol empire into Islamic states. Delhi Sultanate was not destroyed by Mongols thats why it thrived.

​@bindaas boiindia was born in 1947

​@bindaas boi at that time most of india is under Muslim rule , many sultanates

@bindaas boi there is no india , all of nations was splitted into different small countries ,mostly hindu and muslim nations, the idea of india came after 1947

Rizky Satya that's actually sad to think about, though it's probably not the case. There was a postal system in the Muslim world back then and other travelers. He probably sent his parents letters and gifts.

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

They can meet in hereafter, share stories

that is the most saddest thing in his story

He will tell her everything in a perfect place with no distractions with full recollection, Insha Allah, Allah promises us our reunion.

What is it called?

@Sani Perkasa Muhammad "A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling" or as commonly know as "the rihla"

His books inspired me to travel all the road from my hometown (Kobe) in japan, to his hometown (Tanger) in Morocco.

I'd really love to read his complete travellogue, but sadly i can't find his book online for free.

Much love for morocco from Pakistan.. I have many close friends from your country.. Great people..

@Amar Saleem Thanks man, same thing. Many of my close friends are from Pakistan and I hope to visit them soon. May Allah help you overcome the floods

@Saidxplore 💜

The real Nathan Drake lol

@Panda Gelud 100%

a true Genshin impact traveler

@エᐧᐍ𝖩𝖴 100%

Can you elaborate please ?

@Ibra Him look up ibn battuta story about maldives , and how the country became a muslim country

God be with you, enjoy the journey akhay

Ibn Battuta is the greatest traveler, explorer and traveler in history

He was already famous without internet. He didn't needed BRvid.

भारत के धार्मिक स्थलों से जुड़ी रहस्यमयी अनसुनी कहानियाँ-brvid.net/video/video-hp7mNjPuCto.html

I wonder if his gram account would say "Wanderlust" as well. 😂 Drew Binsky would be so jealous of him btw.

@Saibal Sandhir lol

120000 kms and books of memories.

That is an honest man with pride and dignity.

what is the book name? im a moroccan and ashamed of this question

His house is still standing in Tanger, the city in which he was born and raised. The Moroccans are very welcoming and I lived there for a long time, I even speak the language.

That’s not the Morocco flag 🇲🇦

argentina WC winner 22

That's Vietnam flag dude

you can visit his grave in tanger

But I've watched couple of your Algerian national channel that literally said that he's Algerian lol , just why !!!!! I can share the links with you .. I mean the world knows he's Moroccan.. why they keep lying to you and some of you like that !!!!

@Adam Ber link them cuz I don't believe you I'm Algerian who grew up watching historical stories and documentaries but I've never encountered what you're talking about and if you just trying to Create grudges between peoples I won't talk to you

Amazing

Really? Thats amazing, i am very proud as a moroccan

@Said sd Yes, really. In the video on 12.21 you find the information that Ibn Batuta came to Chittagong and Sylhet to meet a man called Hazrat Shah Jalal Rahmatullah in 1345. Chittagong and Sylhet are two major cities of Bangladesh. Ibn Batua stayd in Bangladesh and recorded history which we learn today. For this reason we know him and respect him.

@OUTLANDISH PERSONNEL waw thats awesome, i didnt know that ! InchAllah i visit Bangladesh some day!

@Said sd You're are welcome 😊. Bangladesh is a very beautiful country, and It's a Muslim country. You can search about Bangladesh in BRvid.

he lived in a time when science was developing in the Islamic world, especially medicine. not like the west in those days.

@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.

جزائري هو

@Abdo bn 😂😂😂 wakha alkarghouli 😂

@Kamilia جزائري وبالظبط من خنشلة

@Abdo bn 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Kamilia غلط، جزائري من عين دفلة

boat. boat.

Well, considering there is zero evidence for any of this, and very little of it makes any sense at all, we can safely ignore it.

@Dean Bergen what kind of evidence do you need??

@Dean Bergen what evidence tou need he litterly wrote a book

more underrated medival explorer is Benedict The Pole, he travelled with Pope's embassy to give a letter to the mongol khan, he travelled through Poland/Rus/pontic stepps and dessert to karracorum. He travelled few years before Marco Polo, and was the first source of knowledge for europeans of mongol empire. on TrashingMadPL channel is video about him, but in polish.

@Dean Bergen its a medieval history. You expect them to made a monuments or something?? He literally write a book about it

There is a scotish man who studied arabic and is reading ibn batuta and retracking all his trips.. Amazing you almost feel the times

@printmedia14 what's the man's name ?

@Youssef Tourki slm vids

@Youssef Tourki did you get the vedio

He did but chris crocker, told us to leave him alone!

Yes we are, he's a hero in which we take great pride as Moroccans!

This msg should be pin.. you are the real admirer

Welcome to Tangier bro

@😔 why ur name sad emoji broh?

@Nawfal Ourimech this is the song : brvid.net/video/video-V7_9NeXbFdU.html

@क्रिकेट प्रेमी 🤣🤣

@क्रिकेट प्रेमी 😆😂

He died in Marrakesh, but I don’t think his tomb is known

It is indeed in Tangiers. You can google its location.

@Omar EZZAOUA i just googled it, thanks

he died in funny numer 1369 Wow so many lieks

@T Y exchanging culture.

@Friendly_thunder omg your pfp i can't stand it

@Crazy raptor the amogus effect

lol morocoo as a country didnt even exist at that time so stop with the nationalism already

@- hahahah...Bad joke 😒

@Kaoutar Takiyup nationalism is indeed a joke

@- ok 😂😂

@- Please go read history, I hate to break it to you. The moorish empire 🇲🇦 and many more dynasties who ruled in Morocco. I guess you are another jealous Algerian, I feel bad for your black heart. We were meant to be a kingdom my brother and we are still until the judgement day inchallah! ولا غالب الا الله

@Lilac and he's known to almost nobody in America. Interesting how different areas view what's important.

Would mind telling me tje name of these stories about him so that i can read them. Thank you I'm Moroccan

@godofthisshit Average American doesn't know how many states there are in his country, nor what his nation's flag stands for.....etc.... different areas of view of what's important and if anything is important at all

@K D England still has an aristocratic system, the people of the high class receive excellent education since childhood to prepare them to govern the country and lead the most powerful companies and corporations, as of the populace it is strategically left in the dark, because an ignorant people is easier to rule

Maybe he was able to send a letter to them at some point in his travels. But that is sad!

And his wife and children ,if he had ?

भारत के धार्मिक स्थलों से जुड़ी रहस्यमयी अनसुनी कहानियाँ-brvid.net/video/video-hp7mNjPuCto.html

​@Justina Musyoka ehhhhh One wife every country don't sound to bad of a life to me. 🤪😂🤣. No ofcourse, is sad very sad.

@Justina Musyoka if he had any ?? He had so many wifes and kids 😂😂

To start with your claim Muslims guided Columbus to the Americas is so ignorant and hysterical He was trying to get to India instead of going round Africa So if they guided him to the Americas they didn't have a clue where they were And battuta didn't write anything He dictated his travels to a scholar and that's the extent of his work He didn't write about the universe or the solar system and no one with an ounce of credibility would claim he inspired Galileo Galilei or Newton And no Arab ever documented anything about the Americas Not one zero zilch

@Al Kinny I will get into the details about galileo not being the first to talk about the solar system and to prove that he was inspired by people before him. same for newton. he was propably reading ibn haythm's notes about gravity when the apple feel on his head. but as for columbus, yes, he might have had a muslim navigator. doesn't matter where columbus destination was, what matters is who was the navigator. maybe he too by accident guided columbus towards america or by purpose

@ArianitOnline @ArianitOnline why are you talking about ibn haythm When this video is about ibn battuta But since you mention him and claim he inspired Newton well seems you missed the fact that his total gravitational theory was nothing but what Aristotle already proposed in 1BC No surprise considering the middle age Muslims had all the classical Greek and Roman texts translated After Aristotle the 6th century Byzantine Alexandrian scholar John Philoponus modified the Aristotelian concept of gravity with the theory of impetus. then you say it doesn't matter where the destination was only who the navigator was That's just pathetic. He might of guided him to the Americas on purpose 😂😂 Well the thing is I was simply humouring you before but because your comment is even more unfounded than your first let me tell you that the pilot of the Santa Maria wasn't even a Muslim he was mixed race Spanish and African

@Al Kinny wait a minute. did you say that the pilot wasn't muslim but spanish and african??!?!? oh man. first of all, africa is a continent, so was he morrocean, algerian, egyptian, nigerian, what was he? and muslim is a person who follows a religion and has nothing to do with nationality. as I said, I have read a theory about columbus, I didn't say it was history!

​@Al Kinny thé pilots were berbers from Gibraltar, not 'black 'african'.

His tomb is in Tangier city, Morocco

و ديولنا فيلم مقدروش اخسروه عليه و على غيروا.

@simosan فيلم على بن بطوطة غايخيصو ميزاانية كبيرة و تصوير مزيان. اذا كانو غايشوهوه غير بلاش

Ibn Battuta is the greatest traveler, explorer and traveler in history

He's not underrated in Morocco, and that's enough for me.

He is very famous in Bangladesh. We read about him in text books.

I always discuss him in the family. I first read about him when I was 8 or 9. from India

never heard of him before but i saw only his name in a metro station in dubai lol

or says he's underrated? Everyone I knew had to read about him for school, even in the West.

@The Awesome Man I heard first time that in west you read about him. 👍

i read about him in school as well

I was 8 when, we read book about him in Algiers' school

In india we even have a popular song on ibn batuta lol
