Qur'anScience
In 1325 CE, a 21-year-old man left Tangier to perform the Hajj — and returned nearly thirty years later, after travelling some 117,000 km as far as China. On the way, he stopped at Samudera Pasai in the Malay world. The thirty-fifth book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of Ibn Battutah. “They will come from every distant pass.”
“And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass.”
