Ibn Khaldun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ibn Khaldūn's political skills, above all his good relationship with the wild Berber tribes, were in high demand among the North African rulers, whereas he himself began to tire of politics and constant switching of allegiances. |
 | | In 1375, sent by Abū Hammu, the ʕAbdu l Wadid Sultan of Tlemcen, on a mission to the Dawadida tribes, Ibn Khaldūn sought refuge with one of the Berber tribes, the Awlad Arif of central Algeria, in the town of Qalat Ibn Salama. |
 | | He lived there for over three years under their protection, taking advantage of his seclusion to write the Muqaddimah "Prologomena", the introduction to his planned history of the world. |
