Babar's landed in India. Again.

A total of more than 70 historic dams were built on Taif's boundaries and valleys, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited and richest urban civilizations on the Arabian Peninsula.

They were constructed at various times, beginning before the advent of Islam and continuing during the Caliphate and the reigns of the Umayyad, Abbasid, and Fatimid states.

More than 20 of these historic dams are still in existence, they are all distinct technical feats with various architectural styles.

The "Muawiya Dam," also known as the "Saiysad Dam," is located 12 kilometers southeast of Taif, in the midst of a mountainous region where water flows down during the rainy season in the Saiysad Valley where the dam was constructed.

Abdullah ibn Sakhr constructed the Saiysad Dam in the 58th Hijri year, during the reign of Muawiyah bin Abi-Sufyan, the Umayyad Caliph. On a sizable rock at the base of the mountain where the right front of the dam was erected, the construction year of this dam is inscribed.

On this day, August 26, 1303, after an eight-month long siege, the Khilji sultan Alauddin Khilji (r. 1296–1316) captured the Chittor fort, overthrowing the Guhila king Ratnasimha. The siege began on January 28, 1303, when Alauddin began his march towards Chittor with a large army. After reaching close to the fort, he encamped between the rivers Berach and Gambhiri. Then his army surrounded the fort from all sides.

On this day, August 29, 870, in the Arab-Byzantine Wars, during the siege of Malta, the ancient city of "Melite" surrendered to the Aghalibids army. As a result of which, the Byzantine rule ended in Malta.

Abbas Ibn e Firnas, a Muslim innovator, created the world's first flying machine 1000 years ago. He's known as the "Father of Aviation." Using his unique invention, he took a short flight in the 9th century, inspiring future aviation developments and showcasing the creative power of Muslim scholars.

"In 875 CE, at the age of 65, 'Abbās ibn Firnās tried to fly. Using a hang-glider made of feathers and wood that he built after hours of observing birds in flight, he leapt off the roof of the Rusāfa palace in Cordoba. By all accounts, he flew for several minutes, gliding on the air currents like a raptor!

He is known as "the first man to ever fly", but other than that, he also designed a water clock. He devised means of manufacturing glass, and he developed a chain of rings that could be used to display the motions of the planets and stars. He also devoloped a process for cutting rock crystal. Thereafter, Spain no longer needed to export quarts to Egypt, but could finish it at home.

'Abbās Ibn Firnās was an Andalusi polymath, an inventor, astronomer, physician, chemist, engineer and an Arabic-language poet. You probably may have heard about the Wright brothers inventing the first motorized flying plane but truth is that centuries before them, this Muslim individual man invented it."

The Itmad-ud-Daula Tomb is a Mughal mausoleum located in the city of Agra, India. It was commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, in memory of her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg. The tomb was completed in 1628 and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture.

The tomb is built entirely of white marble and is set in a large garden on the banks of the Yamuna River. It is often referred to as the “Baby Taj” due to its resemblance to the Taj Mahal, which was built later by Nur Jahan’s stepson, Shah Jahan.

The tomb complex consists of a main tomb chamber surrounded by four smaller chambers, all of which are intricately decorated with inlaid stone and marble work, as well as delicate carvings and filigree designs. The tomb is topped by a white marble dome, which is surrounded by four smaller domes.

Visitors to the Itmad-ud-Daula Tomb can enjoy the peaceful gardens and take in the stunning views of the river and surrounding landscape. It is a popular tourist attraction in Agra and is often included on tours of the city’s famous Mughal monuments, including the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.

FATHER OF ROBOTICS: ISMAIL AL-JAZARI (1136–1206)

Ismail Al-Jazari was a polymath: a scholar, inventor, mechanical engineer, artisan, artist, and mathematician from the Artuqid Dynasty of Jazira in Mesopotamia. ‘The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices’ is a medieval Arabic book written by Ismail al-Jazari in the 12th century. It describes over fifty mechanical devices and automata, including clocks, water-raising machines, musical automatons, and humanoid robots. Al-Jazari provides detailed instructions for constructing each device and includes anecdotes and historical references. The book had a significant influence on the development of European clockmaking and automata, offering insights into daily life and technological innovations in the Islamic world during the medieval period. It’s his book that influenced key concepts of modern-day robotics.

The extremely wealthy American, Elon Musk, has expressed his desire to learn more about Ibn Battuta. Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan traveler who visited several locations. Elon Musk discussed this on the website "X" and suggested the podcast "The Explorers."

Ibn Battuta was born in 1304, a very long time ago. He was quite intelligent and enjoyed traveling. He traveled extensively for around 30 years, visiting locations such as China, North Africa, the Middle East, Africa, and more. In a book titled "A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Traveling," he chronicled his journeys; nevertheless, most people refer to it as "The Rihla."

Ibn Battuta traveled in a unique way since he covered a lot of ground—roughly 117,000 kilometers! This was far greater than other well-known travelers like Marco Polo and Zheng He, who traveled about 50,000 and 24,000 kilometers, respectively.
