When asked about rich people, you probably think of Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, the Saudi or Rothschild family. But according to historians, the richest man to have ever lived was a Muslim Malian King named Mūsā. This man ruled over the Malian empire of Mali from 1312 till 1337 and caught the attention of Europeans and Arabs after his renown Ḥajj (Islamic pilgrimage) to Makkah in 1324. During this, Mansa Mūsā’s fortune was estimated at 400 billion dollars, and caught the eye of many far and beyond the countries he visited! He was not afraid to give zakāt to the poor and build houses and mosques on his way to the holy city Makkah. As a devoted Muslim he prepared for the pilgrimage and in 1324 and took up to a thousand servants (some say 60,000) with him. They had more than 80 camels loaded with 300 pounds of gold and other needed goods with them for their trip of over four thousand kilometers. Mansa Mūsā had 1200 slaves with him each carrying a golden adorned staff. During his voyage he stopped in the Egyptian cities Alexandria and Cairo where he attracted the Arabs' and Europeans' interest. Due to his act of kindness and bounteous (giving Zakāt), it is said that he gave away most of his gold to whom he met, especially to the poor on the streets of Cairo and Alexandria. But he also helped building Masājids each Friday on his way to Makkah, Subḥāna Llāh! The Islamic scholarly was boosted by this trip, as the amount of Madrasas and libraries grew together with the Islamic knowledge. At the same time, Islamic leaders and kingdoms increased the exchange of commerce, scholars, poets etc. This made Timbuktu the center of Islamic studies and trade in sub-Sahara Africa. This is how the money should be spend. This is the way. The way of Mansa Mūsā! #throwbackafrica #throwbackthursday #africanhistory
