الصعوبات المرافقة للرحلات (انعدام الأمن واللصوصية) (3-6ه /9-12م)

Abstract

Travel is life and a fundamental characteristic of man, aligned with the goal he desired. From travel writings, we derive important information about different countries.

Travelers may face many difficulties, such as harsh treatment and methods of humiliation and degradation on the roads they cross, and paying taxes when they arrive at various ports. Sometimes they are subjected to the Zakat tax, which they pay on their money that has not been held for a year. In addition, they are not safe for their lives and property, as they are exposed to highway robbers, and all their needs are taken away . All of this has contributed to hindering their journeys, and thus exposing them to death and destruction.

The importance of this study lies in its desire to highlight the difficulties faced by travelers, including insecurity, theft, and robbery. The study employs a scientific methodology based on analyzing information related to the travelers and the problems they encountered, ultimately arriving at significant conclusions. The research is structured with an introduction, three main sections, and a conclusion. The first section addresses the concept of "journey" in both its linguistic and technical senses. The second section focuses on insecurity, noting that travelers were frequently subjected to theft of their belongings and money while traversing land or sea routes. The third section examines banditry and highway robbery, highlighting the often unsafe nature of the roads for travelers.
