Ibn Battuta's travelogue Rihlah, also known as Tuhafat un-Nazzar fi Gharaib il Amsar wa Ajaib il Asfar, and Abdur Razzak's travelogue Matla-us-Sadain wa Majma-ul-Bahrain , also known as The Rise of Two Auspicious Constellations and the Confluence of Two Oceans, are the two different travelogues that are known to my study. Both travellers made extensive notes of the Muslims in Malabar and the Zamorins of Calicut. Therefore, using this travel narrative to connect the past and contemporary histories is highly useful. The Zamorin of Calicut was a renowned king throughout that time up until the arrival of the Portuguese, and his name travelled throughout Europe. These reports reveal numerous untold tales about the Zamorin and Calicut Muslims, particularly the introduction of Islam to this nation. Additionally, the method of transportation and shipbuilding used at the time, etc. We cannot ignore these travel accounts since they contain a wealth of previously unrevealed Malabarian history.
