A map illustrating Ibn Battuta's (Abū Abd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Abd Allāh Al-Lawātī, 1304 – c.1368) series of extraordinary journeys across the Islamic world and beyond spanning close to 75,000 miles (120,000 kilometers). A 14th-century Maghrebi explorer and Islamic scholar, he dictated an account of his journeys commonly known as The Rihla (from Arabic رحلة, Journey, Travelogue), providing invaluable insights into the medieval world, offering vivid descriptions of societies, economies, and governance structures from Marocco, Mali, and Spain to India and China. Battuta's descriptions and reflections also provide a unique window into the complexities of intercultural exchange, religious diversity, and political intrigue that characterized the medieval era. #History #Islam #IbnBattuta #Hajj

Portuguese sister
She was born a Catholic Christian and lives in Luxembourg
She says she refused to believe that Christ is Allaah
She did not understand the Trinity at all
I researched Islam
And I continued searching

Then she married a Muslim
And I continued searching

Then I reverted to Islam after searching
And not because of her husband

Her mother cried in protest against her conversion to Islam
Her father protested against her hijab
Her relationships with others were affected
She lost more friends

They told her
You will not be as beautiful as you were before wearing the hijab
They told her people will talk bad about you
They told her everything they could to repel her
But in the end, she didn't care
More than her interest in steadfastness in Islam
They were forced to accept her conversion to Islam

After accepting them
She started explaining to them what Islam is
Who is the Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him?
Who is the Prophet Muhammad, may Allaah bless him and grant him peace?
Why is she determined to convert to Islam?

We ask Allaah Almighty to make us and our sister steadfast in this great religion
And to make her happy with the conversion of her family to Islam.

Bird's-eye view of Mecca with the Grand Mosque and shrine of Muhammad in the centre, by Carl Ponheimer (1803)

‘The Grand Mosque and Shrine of Muhammad in the centre’ - There is no shrine to the Prophet in Mekkah. Carl Ponheimer was ill-informed about Islam. It says a lot about European understanding of Islam, then and now as well. It might be an innocent mistake or a deliberate attempt to distort the facts.
