"Extravagance amounts to thanklessness to Allah for His gifts." ~ UTHMAAN RA ~

His father was a prominent scholar of Islam and so he received his primary education from his father and from other qualified and learned scholars of Islam. From his boyhood his sharp intelligence and philosophical ideas attracted attention. When he was twenty, he was appointed by the Sultan of Fes as his private secretary. Through his service, position and status at the court of the Sultan he became very rich and famous in a very short time, but he fell out of favour and ended up in prison.

He somehow managed to escape from prison and went to Granada to seek asylum under its Sultan, Muhammad. There he was accepted with great honour by the famous historian and politician of Spain, Ibn al-Khatib (1313-74). Ibn al-Khatib was simultaneously a great historian, philosopher, geographer and poet. He wrote more than sixty books, twenty of which are still available. By courtesy of Ibn al-Khatib, Ibn Khaldun became a favourite of the Sultan who gave him the position of State Ambassador and sent him to King Pedro of Castille to draw up a special treaty with the King. King Pedro, seeing his political acumen and diplomatic expertise, asked him to become a Minister in his kingdom, but Ibn Khaldun politely refused the offer.

After having stayed two years in Granada, he went back to North Africa and was involved in solving several political problems and undertook various assignments in the states of North Africa over a period of about ten years from 1364 to 1374. However, despite his untiring efforts, he failed to bring about peace among the small African states and in the end decided to spend a solitary life in a fort in Oran. Here for four years he devoted himself with all his heart to researches on history, planned his seminal book of world history and wrote a material for this book, he roamed from place to place, from library to library and from institution to institution. At last he went to the Zaytun University of Tunis in 1380 and stayed there to complete the writing of his famous Muqaddima. read more

The person who sets out with the intention of travelling 77 kilometres is regarded as a Musafir in the Shariah. The moment he comes out of the boundaries of his town or city, he is a Musafir according to the Shariah. As long as he moves around within the boundaries of his town or city, he will not be a Musafir. If the railway station is within the boundaries of the town, it will fall under the rule of the town. If it is out of the boundaries, then upon reaching it, the person will be regarded as a Musafir.

If a person is termed a Musafir according to the Shariah, he has to offer two Rakaats each for the Zuhr, Asr and Esha Salaats. As for the Sunnah Salaats, the rule is that if he is in a hurry, then apart from the Sunnah of Fajr Salaat, it will be permissible for him to leave them out completely. There will be no sin in leaving them out. If he is not in a hurry and does not fear his companions leaving him behind, he should not leave the Sunnahs out and should offer them completely. It is not permissible to reduce the number of Rakaats (for Sunnah Salaats).

There is no reduction in the Fajr, Maghrib and Witr Salaats as well. He has to offer them completely as he normally does.
