Abstract

The journey to Constantine and Bejaia was part of an individual effort to resurrect and spread the legacy. It is part of the Hijazi Journey called "The Taj of Mafraq in the Dessert of Scholars of the Orient" by Khalid ibn Isa al-Balawi. He was a distinguished Andalusian traveler who was rich in thought, production and research, and left his country to perform his pilgrimage, look to Islamic cultural centres in the Orient and meet jurists and scholars. The meaning of the journey must be defined in language and idiom. When did it start in Constantine and Bejaia? First of all, what is the main purpose of the trip to El Balawa in general and to Constantine and Bejaia in particular? And was this trip a success? .. It is a geo-historical, social-literary journey that is no less important than any other journey by Moroccans and Andalusians like Ibn Rushd and Ibn Battuta, but differs from it in some of the details of the research. The most important thing is the development of Andalusian prose in the 8th century Hijri through the writings and style of Al-Balwa. The expedition also described intellectual life through his contacts with scientists and jurists, his contact with him, and prolonged living with them, and we will illustrate this in research. This research is a geo-historical scientific journey in the two cities of Constantiya and is important, so we will review this place in detail through observations of the scourge.
