Kitab-ur-Rehla
The
famous book Kitab-ur-Rehla was written by Ibn-i-Batuta. Among the travelers who
visited India and wrote their memories, the name of Ibn-i-Batuta is quite
noteworthy. His book Rehla throws ample light on the political and
socio-cultural history of the contemporary period. Ibn-i-Batuta was born at
Tangier in A.D. 1304. After receiving education and becoming expert in Islamic
theology, he began the life-long tour of the world in 1325. Travelling through
various countries of Africa and Arabian Peninsula, he reached Sindh in 1333
from where he moved on to Delhi. After about eight years he bade goodbye to
Delhi and started on the journey to his motherland. He reached morocco in 1349
and was welcomed there with pomp and show. Under the patronage of the Sultan of
Morocco, he wrote his book, Rehla. He was loved and honoured by his countrymen
and died at the age of seventy-three.
Rehla was originally written in Arabic. A.
Mahdi Hussain translated it into English. It is a very significant source of
the reign of Muhammad-bin-Tughluq and also throws light on the contemporary
socio-Political condition of India.
