''Ar-Rihla'', or, ''Riḥlah'' (, literally "Journey") is a Classical Arabic term of a quest, with connotations of a voyage undertaken for the sake of divine knowledge of Islam. It is also a form of travel literature based upon the experiences of the travelers.〔http://ibnbattuta.berkeley.edu/resources.html〕 The term "Rihla" was especially attributed to the written account of the adventures of the Islamic traveler and scholar, Ibn Battuta. Ibn Battuta traveled throughout most of the Islamic world during 1304-1369 C.E., recording his findings in his journal, named ''Rihla''. == As Travel == The ''Rihla'' travel practice originated in Middle Ages Morocco and served to connect Muslims of Morocco to the collective consciousness of the ''ummah'' across the Islamic world, thereby generating a larger sense of community. ''Rihla'' consists of three types: #''Rihla'' - journey within Morocco, typically to meet with other pilgrims before traveling beyond the local area. #''Rihla hijaziyya'' - journey to the ''Hejaz'' which would be transmitted via an oral or written report. #''Rihla sifariyya'' - journey to foreign lands including to embassies and missions in territories in ''Dar al-Harb''. Events on these journeys would be the basis of the extant travel literature. The performance of ''Rihla'' was considered in Moorish al-Andalus as a qualifier for teachers and political leaders.〔Michael Karl Lenker, “The Importance of the Rihla for the Islamization of Spain,” Dissertations Available from ProQuest (January 1, 1982): 1–388〕 These journey also coincided with the end of the Mongol invasions and a new opportunity for Islamic expansion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「rihla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
