Ibn Battuta was a man of Berber descent born in Tangier under the reign of the Marinid dynasty in February of 1304. He’s family was made up of Islamic legal scholars who belonged to the Lawata Berber tribe. Ibn Battuta himself would likely have studied at a Sunni Maliki school and was offered a job as a religious judge, but he would soon realize that his heart yearned for much, much more…

This guy deserves a tv show with 10 seasons. He is definitely the greatest explorer in the whole 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...

It would be so interesting

"Who lives sees, but who travels sees more". -Ibn Battuta
WHERE DID you find itttttt......🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@MR2SHY I wrote it.
@@MR2SHY learn Arabic bro
Yup that true
Chesterton would disagree.
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.
Yes they don't like Arabs and Islam
@@testyourbrain65 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 💔😭
@@oujbouaicha8662 Every high school passed is familiar with his name & work in Pakistan.
Ibn Battuta quotes: “ Traveling - gives you a home in a thousand strange places, then leaves you a stranger in your own land ( Home ) “ “ He who lives sees, and he who travels sees more “ “ Traveling-it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller “ “ Traveling- it offers you a hundred roads to adventure, and gives your heart wings! “ “ Virtue is by reason and literature, not by origin and lineage “
He was a powerful lose horse fit for traveling not for wars and not for glories, thank God for that...

Ibn battouta is too popular in japan and South Korea as well (my husband's homeland). I am Japanese and I remember reading his stories as a kid and at school as well. He was such a great inspiration for me to travel the world and live his adventures.
Really !!! Even in japan !! Waw thats amazing
Really? I'm a Moroccan in Korea and they barely know about Morocco
LoL
This man (ibnu batutah) is very popular in Indonesia 🇮🇩 too
Is it? Wow
Ibn Battuta was probably the only explorer/traveler who’s was motivated but the thirst of knowledge and exploring and not by greed
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
@@Yanzdorloph if you want to travel and get food you need money bro .
@@Yanzdorloph 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.
@@Yanzdorloph 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.
His frequent travel to Mecca clearly defines how much he is Strong believer
True. My man was on his way home after decades and decided to make a detour for another pilgrimage.
Most of the travellers, philosophers and scholars and scientists in the Islamic golden period were strong believers… and that’s what exactly wrong with Muslims today… either they concentrate only on religious studies or only on sciences… it’s very rare that Muslims learn both nowadays
His readiness to fight against alfonso too truly an amazing character ❤️🔥
@@husseinmahmoud7216 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.
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 🇸🇴 .

@@MuslimGigachad950 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
@@user-ue4fh5mv9s 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
@@Johnny_Silverhand77 Allah said he has divided us in different tribes so that we may know each other and not fight but the funny thing is nationaism/tribalism brings nothing but hate for others for example look at the hatred between moronns and alegrians because of some petty land dispute which has led them to hate each other to the state of insanity. Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H) - rahimahullaah - said: “Everything which is outside the call of Islaam and the Qur‘aan, with regards to lineage, land, nationality, schools of thoughts and ways, then it is from the calls of jaahiliyyah. Indeed, even when the Muhaajirs (those Companions who migrated from Makkah to al-Madeenah) and the Ansaars (those Companions who aided and supported those who migrated) argued, such that one of the Muhaajirs said: “O Muhaajirs! (implying; rally to my aid).” And then one of the Ansaar said: “O Ansaar!” Upon hearing this, the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said: “Is it with the calls of jaahiliyyah that you call, and I am still amongst you!” And he became very angry at that.” Saheeh Muslim (8/120), the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said: “Indeed Allaah has revealed to me that you should have humility, and that no one should act proudly and oppressively over anyone else, nor should anyone boast over anyone else.” Tirmidhee relates from Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) that he said: “Let people stop boasting about their forefathers who have died, who are merely fuel for the Hellfire; or they will certainly be more insignificant with Allaah than the beetle which roles dung with its nose. Allaah has removed from you the party spirit of the days of jaahiliyyah and the boasting about one’s forefathers. Indeed a person is either a pious Believer or a wretched sinner. All of mankind are the children of Aadam, and Aadam was created from clay.”

It's really sad, he didn't have the chance to tell his mom about his journey and the wonders of the world :"(
@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.
as a Maldivian i deeply thank God for sending this man to us, he is the one who made us Muslim, we were a people who worshiped idols, his arrival n teachings made the king a Muslim n it spread like fire when people started learning about Islam, n thnks to God n him today i am proud to say we are the only 100% Muslim country in the world

im a moroccan and even from tangier and it is the first time that i know maldives are Muslims because of him , mashaalah
@sheg9629 Maldivian people was converted to Islam by Abu Al barakat Youssouf Al Barbari, Moroccan merchant, in 1153. His grave is in Hukuru mosque
What’s draw my attention is how many rules have used him to be the judge in their towns. Tells a lot about his character.
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

From my school book, the name "Sumatera" in Indonesia can be counted as the legacy from Ibn Battuta. When he visited Samudera Pasai Sultanate during his journey to China, he wrote the word "Sumatrah" for that place in his journal (maybe from the misspelling from the "Samudera" word). The word "Sumatrah" become the international name for the region and then for the island as well until today.

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.

he was on feat no transportation of any kind
he must have been very wealthy
@Son Of Rabat throught the bank application?
@Son Of Rabat All jokes aside, this got me wondering: How DID he finance his journey? It couldn't have been cheap. While it was mentioned that he basically hitch-hiked for some length of his journey, there's still a large chunk remaining.
@Son Of Rabat I haven't read Ibnu Battuta's notes, but I've read the travel accounts of Tome Pires and Ludovico di Varthema. Didn't sound like they hunt much, if any. Of course, those two had sponsors, so they can just procure provisions from any merchants they meet. I mean, sure, more people back then could hunt, but then we must ask, whether or not it was feasible. Especially during those solo journeys, what if the hunt fails? The part where you said they were hosted by someone soundds plausible though. Semitic cultures like the Arabs do encourage people to host strangers.
As a Moroccan traveler myself, Ibn battuta is definitely an inspiration
Much love for morocco from Pakistan.. I have many close friends from your country.. Great people..

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
@@zafar5059 it's ibn fadlan who traveled to viking land
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
I think that mountain is called sripada..I have visited there...
Such an underrated man. I remember reading his book every day on a balcony in Catalunya (Spain) having a view on the lower pyrenees while the sun was shining brightly and the natural smell of the cows and grass were roaming around the countryside . Oh man... the feels!
Because we live in a European centric world. Everyone knows Marco Polo, but few know Ibn Batuta
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.
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.

He is iconic, glad to see he is well respected in Algeria as well. But I see a lot of Algerians claim that he's Algerian.
@@redmoor1852 ikr it makes me laugh when people claim Moroccan history as theirs
how can you even claim someone who lived 1000 years ago to be Algerian or Morrocan lol, both of these countries are made up post colonial states. People didn't identify as "morrocan" or "algerian" but they identified firstly with religion, then they identified through either the language they spoke, tribe, city they came from etc.
@@weatherloops it's not "Moroccan" history, it's north African and Muslim history, don't nationalize history, this is how people start fighting and arguing for no reason, like Algerians and Moroccans do. Morocco and Algeria as nations and states did not exist in the past, certainly not when Ibn Batuta was alive. If the colonizers didn't have their way, Algeria and Morocco would have likely been 1 country now.
I have read some paper from a historian professor, that the muslim sailors helped columbus during his sailing, and even guided him towards america. this paper goes much deeper, explaining that south america was visited many times by arab speaking people long before the spaniards went there. and it makes sense when we look at people like ibn battuta. also worth mentioning. ibn battuta was a scientist. he wrote about the universe, solar system, and other physical laws. some can say he inspired people like galile and newton
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
@@IrishCinnsealach 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
@@arianitonline8748 @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
@@IrishCinnsealach 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!
@@IrishCinnsealach thé pilots were berbers from Gibraltar, not 'black 'african'.
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
I recognized this guy's name from my researchs on history. He's very important for history. Whenever I research a random medieval city or tribe in Asia, I encounter his accounts.
in 1346,before he reached Chittagong,Hazrat Shahjalal(ra:) a saint from Sylhet send a team to Chittagong for welcoming ibn batuta.It is locally known story in Bangladesh.🇧🇩from sylhet
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ibn batuta time Bangladesh doesn't exist🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@kattarsanatani960 😅 When Ibn Batuta came to Bangladesh, the name of Bangladesh was Bangla Sultanate. Bengali-Bangla Sultan-East Bengal-Bangladesh are all the same. Bangladesh means the country of Bengalis which was and is before and will remain InshaAllah. And those who are ignorant, those who have not yet got the touch of civilization, truth, justice, those who have no history of their own, it is natural that they do not know about it.
Brother there is no saints in Islam. this man probably was a righteous man.

Something like this is written in his book. But as far as I can remember Shah Jalal's(r) man didnot meet Ibn Batuta at Chittagong,but meet him on his way to Chittagong to Sylget.

Unfortunately, lately the history of the Berbers has been ignored. There are many characters and legends, but this is ignored because they are not Arabs

If you come to Morocco by plane, you will notice that Tangier airport name is actually "ibn batuta" ...All the airports of Morocco named with kings and sultans names except Tangier( home town of ibn batuta) the king Hassan the second himself refused that the airport be named to his name and ordered that airport must have the name of that great traveler.
Being a traveler back then especially without today's technology always interested me
He was a great man Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
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!
That’s an amazing life. I’m so glad he wrote all these travels down for us to read about
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 ?
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.
@@marioprawirosudiro7301 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
Three questions: how did he have money to complete such a trip after getting robbed and nonstop detours? Why does every ruler like him? And how did he communicate with other nationalities?
Usually scholars, lawyers and explorers were hosted by merchants and royals since they were very prestigious people. Also pilgrims were seen as sacred (at least in Europe, idk if it was the same in the Muslim culture but I think that they were as well). About the language, if you notice, he traveled mostly in Muslim countries, so it was likely that even if they were from different countries, they were all able to speak Arabic. Also he was robbed while he was actually working as a judge, so I guess he had some kind of salary and I honestly don't know if he actually was working also during his staying in some cities
@@luco-3po878 little bit of extra info I want to add 1 there were translators just like anywhere else during any other time secondly Pilgrimage is one of the 5 pillars of islam and of course helping such people was a good way of gaining ajir meaning reward as it is seen as charity and you're expected to do hajj once in your life
Just like the guy above says, the guy was a religious scholar and studied so he worked as a judge in Morocco, and in his travels most of the middle east talks Arabic and it is the language of the government and the fact he is hosted by royals,officials merchants is nothing out of the ordinary as he is a scholar and a judge so he can find work easily and get sponsored and the fact he bring news, even in india and china he meets a lot of Arabs there and the Chinese city was famous to host a lot of Arabs and south eastern Asians there under the Yuan's and ming. He will finds some people who talks Arabic and they will help him finds translators...etc.
Arabic was his mother thoung and he was able to speak persian so i think it will cover 90 percent of his journey as much as language is concerned.
@@jamshidb he learned Arabic for sure at a young age, but he was an Amazigh/Berber so I'm guessing Arabic his second language.
Imagine returning home to know your mother passes away just 1 month ago. That must've been so sad
I am visiting Tangier soon. I can't wait to see the place.
His tomb is in Tangier Morocco were he was from I visited it
Fortunately he is highly adorned in India. From the time I began learning history Ibn Batuta, Megasthenes , Hiuen Tsang, Fa Hien, these names are etched in my mind.
