He's incredible

If he's a Muslim, then probably most people in the Film industry won't allow it. You know, it will showcase Islam religion and some people hate that😑

yeah, this isnt exaggerated at all.

Exactly

that is the most saddest thing in his story

tracelling back then you never knew if youd see your family again

@The Palestinian Leftist palestinian leftist? dont shame us like that bro

They can meet in hereafter, share stories

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

@R. L. that's a real word...

Welcome to Morocco

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ did Jesus peace upon him say this??

@Emmanuel Rossi who's that

Chesterton would disagree.

Yup that true

​@Bhargav what do you believe in??

@Bhargav He is a walking internet, he traveled all over the world yet his Islam was strong.

@Yassine Rifai See rates of apostasy too.

This man (ibnu batutah) is very popular in Indonesia 🇮🇩 too

LoL

@Sa hi I'm from Canada

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

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

@Talha 27 welp you would need to take lots of food and resources with you that would for sure need lots of money and it would be completely exhausting and of course don't forget that it would take months to reach your destination sooo yeah not that easy

Is it he said?

But in past time we don't need to pay money for travel

@Samir Mochimas Morocco did not exist at the time of the small Idriss Emirate. The Regency of Algiers defeated the Spaniards and the Portuguese in the battle of the three kings, following which it put the Saadian dynasty, which was its vassal, in power, until the Spaniards and the Portuguese took over Morocco, and Spain is still present in Morocco until today. Numidia was not Muslim but it is our Algerian ancestors regardless of their religion the blood ties of our Numidian ancestors are the most important for us.

@Samir Mochimas I know the myth of the imaginary Moroccan empire by heart. There's no need to tell me your bedtime stories. None of the people you mentioned was Moroccan nor has ever designated himself as being Moroccan for the simple reason that Morocco did not yet exist at that time. The concept of nation-state is a recent concept which was only introduced in the Maghreb in the last century. Any nationalist myth is based precisely on the national nationalist novel that the French have created for you to legitimize their colonial creation in Morocco.

@Bat Minton stay mad, u dont want to say your country because surely your country doesn't have an history and was created by some other country😂. Keep trying, we are happy with our BIG history☪️🇲🇦♓

@Mohamed Nafs Zakiya We are also the only country who identify themself as berbers because we are the countrie with most berbers.

@someone _ this is similar to the name of Korea and Japan, both misspelled by Portuguese and British

Samudera in English would mean ocean if I'm not mistaken.

Thats so cool, imagine misspelling a name only for that name to become the official name of a region, shows how much influence his journey and book was

Great information, thanks for sharing

in Indonesia Sumatera island also called Andalas island (maybe also means Andalus).

nothing to do with islam

​@Oujbou Aicha this is true

Hello from Canada. Ibn Battuta is my hero.

​@Oujbou Aicha because your school system based on colonial powers like France Britain

@A Series Of Triangles We Call Triangles you probably never been to Maldives so you have no idea what you're talking about. Ibn batouta is too popular in Maldives just like in Asia and other parts of the world. You have to read his books also meet locals from those countries and hear from them.

@Richard Westwood jelous, FUARK

@Rabbi Shmuel Shekelbaum he did, there is a tribe in Turkey and another one in Afghanistan that claim to be his direct descendants.

@Richard Westwood probably left kids all over the world

@Van-S X love hurts

Subhanallah

May Allah bless people of Maldives and keep them firm on Emaan

Alhamdulillah, may Allah bless all of us Muslims

Masha Allah

Definitely 😁

a true Genshin Impact traveler imagine if they made character Ibn battutah in GI

He Just missed to see Rome

Yes 😂

Remarkable ibn Bhatuta👍👏💪

@Mega Magikarp lol lack of knowledge do some research bangli 🤣

​@bindaas boiindia was born in 1947

Lol you should say Indian system Bangladesh was born way b4 🤣 knowledge less

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.

​@Mario Prawirosudiro At that time Islam were spreading fast. Even if the local lords doesn't want to convert, they have heard of Islam. Ibn batuta most likely introduced himself to local lords as pilgrim on mission to travel all around the world. Anyone in great power always interested in story of far and beyond places. Those stories alone worth tens gold coins, and if he also introduced himself as Islamic judge, the lords definitely want to hire him to introduce Islamic laws in their lands.

He had patreon patrons, nah but local rulers would act as patrons. In that age anyone able to travel those distances and make it in one piece was a bona fide adventurer, a valuable one.

@muryani cikgu - There is currently someone travelling around the world, without flying! He's not trying to 'outdo' Ibn Battuta, (In fact he states Ibn is his most favourite traveler of all time) he's just simply trying to prove that you can still travel the world - 203 countries (and he explains how 'countries' are defined) - without the necessity of flying. Thor from Denmark - also known as 'onceuponasaga'. I have just welcomed him to speak to school students in Samoa (his 198th country) last week - and he is a completely humble world extraordinaire traveler.

He was Rich

@Mario Prawirosudiro many rulers gracefully received travelers and merchants with all sorts of gifts. They would later sell those gifts for a quick buck and continue traveling.

محضوض مع انه انا من المغرب مزال مجاتني الفرصة

Not a chance for Hollywood production unless the rich Gulf countries financed it and make use of local talents from all the places he visited. But positive image on muslim is a no-no, so they'll add gossips and made up accounts instead.

@Amar Saleem he-he-he Character building movies maybe not encouraged in Hollywood

@Amar Saleem lol

No.. But that would promote positive image about Muslims.. we can't have that...

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

@Sabona Channel discover also entails bringing knowledge of said object or place to where you are from. Leif Erickson did not do that, therefore he didn’t discover anything. He just traveled

@Mashayekh Mashriquee he discovered it for Europeans. He brought knowledge of a land that Europeans did not know about. That is what discover means.

@Nizar Nizar can I know the name of the book?

@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.

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

@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.

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

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

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 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

Welcome in Morocco 🙏

Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦

@ismash 😂lol. Maybe he is colour blind. 🇧🇩🇲🇦♥️

🇲🇦

ibn batuta visited Bangladesh in 1345/46, we love, and respect him.. ❤️

@Dean Bergen ok dean enough internet for you today. go do your homeworl and sont forget the dishes!

Reinhard nope, I'm quite real.

@Robert Mitchell hater

@Jyue An he was an Islamic judge.

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

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

@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"

What is it called?

@Annu Kim hahaha you made me laugh. We Moroccans do speak many languages. I myself (aged 26) speak 5 languages and understand 7 languages. And know 3 writing systems/alphabets (Latin, Arabic and Tifinagh).

@Sadiq Rahman you're so wrong. He was placed as a judge in many countries he went to even Spain and some Asian countries who weren't represented to Islam yet. That guy was too smart and educated so I don't rule out that he was fluent in many foreign languages. Just travel to Morocco and you will see how many languages those people speak. I as a Japanese was surprised when I went to Marrakesh. They spoke to me in Japanese.

@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.

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

@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.

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

Can you elaborate please ?

@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

@- Moroccan nationalism is good, it is pretty pro-islam; arab, turkish, iranian, afghani, indonesian nationalisms are bads becasue they are very socialists and secularists. As moroccans history made us learn nationalism, we were not nationalists but when we have been kicked from Andalusia we developed our own nationalism, to defend our particularities from the iberian barbar christians at the north and the turks at the est (our "brothers" who didn't helped us during the war against the spaniards). Our nationalism led us to beat the christians when they tried to conquer us in the battle of Alcácer Quibir. I can assure you that we developed nationalism for self-defence, arab countries (like Syria, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia) didn't developed nationalism because they are surrounded by muslim nations, we did because we bordered at the north the christian kingdoms, if we had no nationalism today all of North Africa (not only Morocco) would have been christian: trshow.info/watch/mReAzk1hOa0/video.html this is what our nationalism has done for Islam.

@almora @mimaash My dear compatriots don't waste your time with a hater ...People all over the world are proud of the history , the civilization and symbols of their countries...but unfortunately the hate that it holds in his heart pushed him to say funny and insane things , anyone reading his comment will just laugh at him.

@almora what will i not understand ? does being morocoon makes your mind think different ?

@- You won't understand cuz ur not Moroccan close the topic "big minded"

13:49

@Waleed Kahn Sweet! Have a pleasant reading :)

@HAKIM THEORY I've just bought "Lost Islamic History", heard good stuff about it, I'll check that out next, thanks!

Get this book. 1001 Inventions: The Enduring Legacy of Muslim Civilization

Agreed well said

even transistors didn't exist at that time🔌

SLM vis...ibn batuta I tried and got it straight on yt

@Pineapple on Pizza SLM vids

@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

@printmedia14 it doesnt show up in YT my bro

@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.

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

Indians book or histories represent him as a looter and dishonest man. And also there was a hindi song that mocked him badly ..

@Jam 1244 chal nikal bachche

@Aditya chauhan phone scammer.

@Aditya chauhan oh so you are phone scammer that is your religion. Just like in the story you were stealing then

@Said Xplore 💜

@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

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

Just imagine seeing the Qadi of Delhi sitting with the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate swimming in gold on Instagram. He would most likely have like 5 million followers. (Instagram followers, not the other type of followers)

He write a book of his yourney better 1000 times than camera

You can't be comparing the great ibn battouta who traveled in foots to today's travelers who use plans, cars and steamboats.

Lol

well if anyone from history got a camera they could be the world first anything

That is an honest man with pride and dignity.

120000 kms and books of memories.

@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!

@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 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

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

​@Stark Gamerwhat's an indian sylheti?

From Chittagong

@Nahin There is, people from Silchar which is India speaks pure Sylheti.

@Stark Gamer I didnt know there is anything called Indian sylheti

As an Indian sylheti,I was always told about Ibn battuta and Shah Jalal stories in my childhood.

@omar ezzaoua i just googled it, thanks

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

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

@Allah is not my GOD. Amen actually "jesus" is nothing,the bible just got manipulated by some people

@Allah is not my GOD. Amen I'll pray as any Muslim prays

@Ryan Marlin 'Only in the name of JESUS CHRIST'. Amen 🙏

@Ryan Marlin Praying for you. 🙏 JESUS loves you. Amen

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

His tomb is in Tangier city, Morocco

@بريطانيا بعيون حافظة there is not to be honest haha. The guys making claim by himself, in fact majority doesn't even know him, India is not what it's shown in map, we had war between hindu ruler vs muslim ruler all the time. Not sure of ibn batuta, his view on india . We never had single empire, who conquer whole india, throughout history.

im moroccan can you tell us the songs india made about him?

@facto shala 😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

praveen I doubt it sis.

@Adam Azerr Algerian from the moon 🤣.

@Cecilia هو جزائري من عين تقبة

@Adam Azerr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 اسمه عبد الله الطنجي على اسم طنجة،و المعروف بابن بطوطة غير أنه مكان ازدياده معروف و ضريحه معروف و موجود يا أمة ضحكت من جهلها الأمم، غير أنه الجزائر وليدة فرنسا دولة عمرها ستين سنة لا تاريخ لها، كفاكم سرقة من الشعوب لأنها لن تجدي نفعا تجعلنا نضحك عليكم فقط

@Kookie غلط، جزائري من عين دفلة

@Kookie غلط، جزائري من عين دفلة

@Real Hades only one of the two things concerning religion in Morocco, you are a muslim or a jew, since you said you dont like to live in a muslim country, you ask your parent about your culture, Moroccan culture, identify youself as such woiuld ease the minds.

@Ran but it doesn't mean he's from middle east or whatever

@Maryam morocco is for everyone this coutry was always paeceful with all the religions muslim or not it doesn't matter you don't like you leave it

@Someonehe referred himself as a muslim, so are a lot of Muslim figures they don’t accept racism, plus nationalities haven’t existed back then so yeah

it does not matter "Im not muslim" you live in a muslim country and nation respect it or LEAVE.

He was a scholar and a judge and his family was a high status family known of scholars and judges in Morocco

@Devansh Gupta. thank you ,can u put all song please

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.

@RamessesXVIII 🤣🤣 i didn't notice it mentions Japan.

@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.

Right I remember learning about him in school I lived in Damascus 2004-2012

@Zafar ظفر it's ibn fadlan who traveled to viking land

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

​@Ashok P he only said may god grant him heaven

​@Ashok P who said it's the will of Allah what

@mental when all the signs of the end of times completed. So far majority of the small signs have already been observed. The Big signs have not showed yet. But slowly getting there.

Abhi tak ruke huye ha kya???

Birds killed: 199/200

@Justina Musyoka no he didn't have wife and kids, set out at 21, also he was a great Islamic judge/ qadhi, a very strong Islamic believer,in islam you cannot have relationship without a marriage, so either he lived single,or married on his return...there is no other way

@M Horrible..esp in ectreme weathers.

That was the 14th century. I assume it was quite common back then. We cannot imagine what traveling was like during those times.

@Coldplay Fan I wouldn't feel anything

True...he should ve been in touch with them.

@Cergun 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Man really called him “Ibn” 💀

@H3w4 🇺🇸🇲🇦

Don't put the Amertiard flag next to Morocco

ibn means "son (of)"

He is not underatted in Aceh

@تيكشبيلا توليولا شفت قلتي حتا الهنود باغين يسرقونا واش قالو ابن بطوطة هندي ولا شنو ؟😂

@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

@تيكشبيلا توليولا شنو قالو ؟

@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

Movie? He deserves at least a 60 chapter series.

He is very popular just not outside of Arabia

A series of movies even cartoons. Marco Polo was nothing compared to him. Although many say Marco Polo was an imaginary story.

Well who ll make a series on his life? Muslims dont ve time it seems.Hollywood can...but they wont i think.

I've just lost my friend (brother) who died in an accident recently, we hadn't been in contact for about 5 to 6 years.. this comment made me even more sad. Most times i read about history leaves me with sorrow.
