Ibrahim ibn Ahmad (1225-1275)

I am Ibrahin, son of Ahmad ibn Galib.

 

I am 8 years old and I live with my parents, Ahmad and A'isha, in Balansiya. I go to a schools ofneighbourhood, where I learned to read and write the "Alifato" and try reciting the suras and verses from the Koran. Many times I carry one lamb scapula with engraved alifato to review the letters. At school we write with reed styluses dipped in ink of burned wool on wooden boards and we scratch them until we are complete. At home I love my parents, siblings, uncles and cousins but I specially like stories that Uncle Hassan tells me about Yemen, our homeland, and our ancestors, as one fought againstCid.
