| THE BUBONIC PLAGUE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ibn Battuta’s Account of The Bubonic Plague (1330 AD) Ibn Battuta's account is engaging in many ways, but one significant point of interest is the fact that his return trip coincided with the spread of the bubonic plague from Central Asia to the Mediterranean and into Europe and North Africa. As Ibn Battuta rode through Syria, a terrible disease was descending upon his world. This was the Black Death (or bubonic plague). He first tried to out-run it, but each city he reached was in the middle of a terrible outbreak. In Damascus the death toll was 2,000 people a day! The business of the city had come to a halt. The people begged Allah for the plague to stop. "The people fasted for three successive days... [Then all the people] assembled in the Great mosque until it was filled to overflowing... and spent the night there in prayers... Then, after performing the dawn prayer..., they all went out [barefoot] together... carrying Korans in their hands. The entire population of the city joined... The Jews went out with their book of the law and the Christians with the Gospel... [all] of them in tears . . . imploring the favour of God through His Books and His Prophets." [Gibb, p. 143-144] The Black Death had started in the early 1330s, before Ibn Battuta reached China. It began in the grasslands of Central Asia and spread eastward into China and westward across Asia to the Black Sea. The plague was found in rodents like ground squirrels and rats, but it spread to humans through the bite of a flea living on infected rodents. From the seaports, caravans transmitted the disease throughout Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East. Estimates of the death tolls vary between 30% to 50% of the populations. At the other end of Eurasia in China the outbreaks of the plague caused massive death rates and economic chaos and contributed to the collapse of the Mongol (Yuan) Dynasty. |

| THE SMILE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician are staying in a hotel. The engineer wakes up and smells smoke. He goes out into the hallway and sees a fire, so he fills a trash can from his room with water and douses the fire. He goes back to bed. Later, the physicist wakes up and smells smoke. He opens his door and sees a fire in the hallway. He walks down the hall to a fire hose and after calculating the flame velocity, distance, water pressure, trajectory, etc. extinguishes the fire with the minimum amount of water and energy needed. Then, the mathematician wakes up and smells smoke. He goes to the hall, sees the fire and then the fire hose. He thinks for a moment and then exclaims, "Ah, a solution exists!" and then goes back to bed. Please share your clean jokes with us... email to newsletter@radioislam.co.za |
