Alam al-Din Abu al-Qasim al-Tujibi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ʿAlam al-Dīn Abu ʾl-Qāsim ibn Yūsuf ibn Muḥammad al-Balansī al-Sabtī al-Tujībī (1271–1329) was a North African Muslim scholar. Born and educated in Ceuta, his teachers were Ibn Abi ʾl-Rabīʿ, al-Qabṭūrī, Ibn al-Muraḥḥal and Ibn al-Shāṭ.[1] He continued his studies in ḥadīth (Islamic traditions) in 1295 when he undertook the ḥajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca. He travelled through al-Andalus, Tunis and Alexandria and crossed the sea from ʿAydhāb to Jidda.[2] His writings, all in Arabic, include:

  • Bārnāmaj (or Mashyakha), a historical bibliography[3][4]
  • Mustafād al-riḥla wa ʾl-ightirāb (The Benefits of Travel and Being Abroad),[2] a narrative of his travels (riḥla) in 1295, of which only the second part of three survives[1][4]
  • al-Targhīb fi ʾl-jihād, which is dedicated to Sultan Abū Saʿīd ʿUthmān II[1]
  • a taqyīd on al-Dimyāṭī's Muʿjam mashāʾikhihi fī ṭalab al-ḥadīth[1]

The Bārnāmaj and the Mustafād have been published.[1] Ana Ramos Calvo defended a doctoral thesis on the Bārnāmaj in 1976.[4]
