Ramadan in the Voyages of Ibn Battuta

Ramadan in the Voyages of Ibn Battuta D. Mr. Sayed Ali Ismail
One day in year 1353, he entered the city (Fez) man in the fifty years of age, and took tell the people News trip to the Holy Mosque to perform the Hajj, and see the tomb of the Prophet - peace be upon him - and the owner of this trip - which lasted nearly a quarter century - the length of the observations in the Islamic countries and the remote display; those countries that have not heard of most of his listeners, this guest Vosabhm very surprised what they made of the stories and tales, including the oddity of the jokes. When people broke up with him, they were transferred what they heard, nickname, is this man, and people are split between his words and certified for denying it. This man is Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Mohammed Bin Ibrahim who Tunja (relative to the city of Tangier, where he was born by in 1304 AD), known as the (Ibn Battuta). And he wishes much that the mark of (Ibn Khaldun) was a contemporary of Ibn Battuta, had heard news of his trip and he denies it, and joined the camp of the rejecters of his stories and Traúvh, as evidenced in its history, saying: "Lord, Morocco, to the reign of Sultan Abu Annan of the kings of Beni Marin man from the chiefdom of Tangier known as Ibn Battuta, was gone for twenty years prior to the Orient, and the volatility in the country of Iraq, Yemen, India, and entered the city of Dhli present king of India, Sultan Muhammad Shah, and call her own to the Covenant, which is Fairuz faces. and it has it place and use it in the plan to eliminate the doctrine of Maliki in his work, and then go to Morocco, and contact with Sultan Abu Annan, and was going on regarding the trip, and the view of the wonders of realms ground. and more what was happening on the state the owner of India, comes from conditions including deemed strange souls ...... and received Oaamiz Minister Faris Al-Sultan and radar remote-known, Vfawdth in this regard and I showed them to deny the news that man as elaborated in the people of disbelief, he said to me the Minister of Persia: Never condemn such conditions of countries, including that you have not seen him. " So entrenched News journey of Ibn Battuta in the minds of the people and Ojaddanhm, especially Sultan of Fez itself, ordered writes (Mohammad Bin Mohammad Bin Jizzi Kalbi) note the details of this trip, he called (a masterpiece principals in the Strange Things regions and wonders Saffar) in seven modules - have been printed recently in the two volumes - a trip made famous in the horizons, and become a unique model for the travel writing of Islamic history, Ibn Battuta was the title of Prince of Muslim travelers. The journey of Ibn Battuta dealt with the study and research and investigate every specialist in this area; I do not think - depending on my hands, however, of references - that the researcher or a writer devoted a single act to talk about the manifestations of the month of Ramadan in the Voyages of Ibn Battuta! Ibn Battuta started his journey at the age of twenty-second of Tangier - his hometown - the second Thursday of the month of Rajab 725 AH, corresponding to 21/06/1325 AD, and arrived to the city of Tlemcen, then Miliana, then Algeria, Bejaia and then, and Constantine, and then Pune, and Tunis, and Sousse, and Sfax, and Gabes, and Tripoli, and Alexandria. The Ibn Battuta describes each city or village, including the manifestation of the social effects and eye-catching, not to mention his description of the mosques and mausoleums, shrines and schools .. Etc.. For example, when he visited Alexandria in Egypt, brought to his attention (column Pompey), described it, saying: "The Strange Things of the city column of marble, the huge Bforeigha, named their pole masts, which is the average in the jungle of palm trees. The RPR for Hgratha named and higher. A piece of one sculpture court has held on the rules of square stones like the great shops, and do not know how to put it there, can not be achieved from the position. " New moon of Ramadan in the city of Abyaar Ibn Battuta moved from Alexandria, Cairo, meaning, and this necessitated the move traffic through cities and villages, including: the village (promoted), and from there to the city (Damanhour), then (Fuwa) then (Alnhraria), and from there to the city (Abyaar). The city, as described by Ibn Battuta "old building, allergin quarters, many mosques, with a good plus, the vicinity of Alnhraria. And separated by the Nile." He also spoke of Ibn Battuta on the most important industry in this city, the garment industry, the clothing is very valuable and is gaining very popular when sold in the Levant and Iraq, despite the value of this is - the clothes - Do not effect or value when the people of the city of Abyaar itself!! It is hard - depending on what came in the Voyages of Ibn Battuta - that most of the country's rulers and princes and notables, they greet him with the best reception, honoring the best Ickramouna, most of whom were Astadhavonh in their homes. From this point visited the Ibn Battuta judge of the city of Abyaar (Azzedine Melegy Shafi'i), coincided with the visit was the ninth day of the month of August, which (on knee) is also called the traveler, or (on expectancy moon of Ramadan) as they call the people of Abyaar, it is usually people in this city - in this day of every year, as Ibn Battuta: Meeting of "the scholars of the city and faces after the age of twenty-ninth day of the August House the judge, standing at the door, Captain Almtamaman, which has a badge and the good. If came a jurists or faces, received by the captain, and walked in his hands, saying: In the Name of God, our Lord so and so religion, listens to the judge and his recruiters to him and heap Captain in the position it deserves. If Tkamiloa there, behind the judge and rode from his companions, and followed all of the city of men, women and boys and end to the position of a high outside the city, a prospective Crescent have, and brushes that position Balbst mats, descend to a judge and his Firtqubon Crescent, then return to the city after the Maghrib prayer and in their hands wax, torches and lanterns. The Stokes family shops Bhawwanathm wax, and reach people with the judge to his home, and then walk away so their reaction in each year. " The description that came by Ibn Battuta to explore the moon of Ramadan in the city of Abyaar, Tarif is a description not found - did not we read this description of the exact - in the books of travelers explore new moon of Ramadan in any city of the Egyptian cities or villages. This indicates that Ibn Battuta was the lists in the strange stories unusual interesting habits of the people. We can imagine a whole city people walking at night, candles lit and Bvoynes Mtloloh, and all Hawwanatha lit candles .. Stunning view worthy of blogging in Voyages of Ibn Battuta. Qus shelter the poor in Ramadan According to the plan in the course of his journey, Ibn Battuta, we found the city of Abyaar go to the big city of Mahalla, then Burullus, and Damietta, and Faraskour, and Ashmun, pomegranate, and Samanoud until he reached Cairo. And Cairo, and continued his journey to Upper Egypt through its cities and villages, including: Monia leader, and Bush, and Das, and Papa, and Bahnasa, and Monia'm prolific (Minya now), and Mnloa (pronounced now wrench), and Manfalout, Assiut, and Akhmim, and Qena until it reached to the city (Qus). Ibn Battuta describes the city (Qus) as "a great city with the date of win-win, lush gardens, and markets Monqh, and has many mosques, to study and admire, a house of governors level." It also looked at what the angles and the tombs of Sufi sheikhs and, like the corner of Sheikh Shihab al-Din ibn Abd al-Ghaffar, and the angle of Alavrm. I believe that Ibn Battuta visited this city in the month of Ramadan;, although not mentioning the specific date of the visit, and why it is said of this city "by the Meeting of the poor and streakers in the month of Ramadan every year." This statement indicates that he saw himself on the masses of poor people in this city in the month of Ramadan, or that - at least - he heard this, and this hearing clearly indicates that this city is famous for the meeting of the poor and needy in this holy month. Perhaps the reader thinks - wrongly - that Ibn Battuta is intended that the poor of this city and its people attribute poverty!! In fact, the opposite is true, Valrahalh intended that this city is poor, shelter the needy in the month of Ramadan, in the richness of its people and Tsabgahm to do good, especially in charity to the poor and needy, and feed them in this holy month. This is confirmed by the sapphire Hamwi in his book (Dictionary of countries), when he spoke of this city's vast western region as "a great big city and large employers ... and her family's wealth and extensive." Breakfast mass in Damascus Ibn Battuta started his journey to the Levant in the middle of the month of August year 726 AH, corresponding to the month of July 1326. The city of Damascus Vdkhalha on Thursday of the month of Ramadan, the ninth in the same year, and stayed in a school known Maalikis Balhrabashah. The dwell Rahaltna to describe features of Damascus, including: the Umayyad Mosque, Damascus, schools, and the gates of Damascus, and her scenes and Mzaradtha and peri-, and Mount Qassioun and watch the blessed ... Etc., and draw the attention of Ibn Battuta one of the virtues of the people of Damascus in September, a lack of breakfast individually, but must fast during Ramadan in the group, said: "The virtues of the people of Damascus, it does not break one of them in the night alone at all, it was the princes and judges and elders, he calls his friends and the poor break the fast with him, and who was from traders and senior Alsoqh making like that, and it was weak and the desert, they meet every night at one house or in a mosque, and each one comes with him Vivtron all. " This description is for the people of Damascus breakfast in Ramadan reflects the extent of our interdependence with the social teachings of Islam, and their adherence to the spirit of religion. Then we find Ibn Battuta lists the tale - he was a hero - as evidence of this virtue when the people of Damascus, saying: "When they were Damascus and signed between me and Noureddine Sakhaawi - Teacher Maalikis - company Frgb me to fast him during the nights of Ramadan arrived clutching him four nights, and then I was hit by fever Vgbt him, he sent in my request, apologized disease, why I can excuse so she went back to him and decided he has when he wanted to leave tomorrow prevented me from that and said to me: I think my home like Arc or house your father or your brother, and ordered to bring a doctor and make me swallow all liking the doctor of medicine or food, as well as he has lived to the day of Eid, and attended a prayer and God heals me, which I got. " Ramadan in Mecca Ibn Battuta entered Mecca for the first time in the era of Mosques brothers lion religion, and Sayf al-Din, the two sons of Prince Saad bin Abi Qatada ibn Ali, and the Emirate of Mecca under the Emir of Mecca, a Ajlan the present Covenant. And Mecca is the ultimate goal of the journey of Ibn Battuta; to that occupied a large part of the description of his trip. What concerns us this description of what the month of Ramadan. Began Ibn Battuta described Ramadan in Mecca, the appearance of the crescent, which hit the drums when the Emir of Mecca, and started celebrating the holy month in the Sacred Mosque, and the renewal of the confined (Ibstth), and a lot of lighting candles and put torches, Vilolo Grand Mosque in Mecca are exhilarating for souls. And then the readers of four teams (Shafi'i and Hanbali and Hanafi, Zaidi) to read the Koran and prayer, "Firtj the mosque of the votes of readers." Has been singled out Ibn Battuta Shaafa'is a substantial portion of the description of their habits of religious in this holy month in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, saying, "The Shafi'i more imams, diligent, and their habits if they have completed Taraweeh usual, a twenty rak'ahs, roams the imam and his group. When he finished the week hit the pop - : the promises of its edge thin skin stringy, Infdah in the air will hear a loud voice he hears from inside the campus and beyond - a notification to return to prayer. then pray two rak ahs, and then roams the week so that is twenty rak'ahs other. then pray Witr, and leave " . Turning Ibn Battuta - in talking about Ramadan in Mecca - to talk about the morning meal of Ramadan; Viban the muezzin Zemzemi is incumbent timing suhoor another saying; where the prayers, dhikr, and incitement to the fast, Vibah all owners of silos within the campus, "was erected at the top of each silo a piece of wood on her head promises objector, had suspended the Guendelan of glass big Aoukdan, if near the dawn occurred ushering in machining time after time, Ouht Alguendelan, and began to muezzins adhan. The land of Mecca honor God surfaces. it has kept his house so as not to hear the Adhan see the Alguendelan mentioned Vitzhr. Even if you do Abesrha quit eating. " It is noted that the last ten days of Ramadan - because of its religious value and spiritual in the hearts of the Muslims - the won appreciation descriptive of the traveler; Voshb described in more detailed and accurate, saying: "On the night of tendon from the last ten nights of Ramadan entire Qur'aan and attend the seal of the judge and jurist and elders. shall be the seal of one of the sons of Upper-class people of Mecca. If the seal, set up a platform decorated with silk, and lit the wax, and speeches. If you had finished his sermon, called the father of people to his home Votamanm foods many and Lhalawat as well as make all of the odd-numbered nights. and the greatest of those nights They have the night of the twenty-seven. The celebration of the greatest of their celebration for all other nights. and sealed by the Holy Qur'aan behind the place decent. will be held at the Ahtam Shaafa'is wood bones, reached Balahtam and the exposure, including panels throughout, and make three layers, and the wax and lamp glass, nearly the faint eyes beam lights , and make the imam prays obligatory Isha, then starts reading the Al-Qadr. and to be the end of reading the imams on the night before at that time held all the imams Taraweeh out of respect for khatmahs place, and bring them Mnbarkin, and complete the imam in Tzlimitan, then the speaker the future of the place, If finished with that he returned to the imams of prayer, and everyone broke up. then the seal of the twenty-ninth night in the place-Maliki in stock and showing off impeccably brief irreverent and wants to complete it. " Porridge Ochridor Visited the Ibn Battuta city (Antalya) - known in the land of the Seljuks as (dahlia) - and surrounding towns and villages in the period between the years (1335 to 1340 AD), spoke first about the Sultan Antalya Khadr your Ibn Yunus you, then go to town (Brdor ) described the rivers and orchards and castle in the header of Jblha steep. He then moved to the town (Sparta) and the description of the famous castle and garden to see her, and then go to (the city Ochridor), describing it, saying: "City of Architecture for many great rivers in good markets and orchards, and has a freshwater lake water." The Sultan Ochridor He (Abu Ishaq Ibn your Aldndar you), and Ibn Battuta described as a senior Sultans of the country, and he inhabited the land of Egypt pilgrimage days of his father. It is usually this power that comes every day to afternoon prayers, Jama Masjid, if I spent the afternoon prayer was based on the qibla wall, and sit among the readers hands on deck wood high, some of the nobles of the Holy Quran, and in particular Al-Fath and the king's uncle. He spoke of Ibn Battuta habit of this authority in September, saying: "The Ozlna has the month of Ramadan was sit in every day to night from the bed of adhesive to land is not a bed, and based on the pillow is great, sitting jurist Mosleheddin to his side, and seated next to al-Faqih and Jelena heads of their own princes attended and brought food, so the first thing break him porridge in Qahfah small, he lentils tempered ghee, sugar, and make porridge blessing, and say that the Prophet peace be upon him virtues of the other meals, we start with the superiority of the Prophet, and then brought to other foods, and so their actions in all the nights of Ramadan. " This view reflects the extent of adherence to the people of the city - and power - the Sunnah, especially a modern prophet of God and peace be upon him, "supplemented by men much. Did not complete the women is Mary girl Imran, and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh., Preferring Aisha on women like the superiority of porridge on the other meals. ". Prevent Ahalouae in Ramadan Ibn Battuta visited the country in the month of Ramadan, the Turks, talked about funny things and strange in terms of food and drink. For example - as shown traveler - the Turkic peoples of the world most people ate horse meat!! They also do not Aoklom thick bread and food! And "eat Ahalouae see a defect." This view is one of the Prices! Valmshahur Ahalouae that - of all kinds and forms - from well-known foods on breakfast and suhoor in the month of Ramadan when Muslim peoples all. And perhaps thought of Ibn Battuta that the listener of the joke would not be surprised; so confirmed his words Bakstin, said at first: "I have attended days at the Sultan Uzbeks in Ramadan, I brought the meat of horses, the most of what they eat meat .... and I approached him that night dish Halouae made some my friends Vkdmtha between his hands and started to finger it and bring it on in it, did not exceed that. " He did not eat any of Ahalouae satisfied Ptdhugah finger tip!! And Ibn Battuta in his story the other: "Tell me, Prince Tketmor that one adult from the Mamluks this authority with his children, and the children of Sons of forty-four boys, said to him, the Sultan days: every Ahalouae and Oatqkm all, but he refused and said if it killed me that ate it."
