A Memorandum for Historians on the Innocence of Ibn Majid

$325.00

Many accounts have it that Ibn Majid is the man who guided Vasco da Gama from Africa to India. Sultan bin Muhammad al Qasimi, the eminent ruler of Sharjah, proves with sufficient evidence that the guide of Vasco da Gama was not Ahmed Ibn Majid, but a Gujarati who believed in a form of Christianity. The belief and geography of the person who was complicit in colonialism might not be relevant, though the innocence of Ahmed Ibn Majid in this context would deconstruct the argument for a Muslim connivance in the colonial project
