The Story of Al-Andalus - Part One: From Tariq Ibn Ziyad to the Fall of Toledo
The Untold Story of Nearly 800 Years of Muslim Rule in Spain
This course is especially designed for teens and adults. The whole family will enjoy it and benefit from it.
Part One covers the period from the arrival of Tariq ibn Ziyad and Islam through the fall of the city of Toledo in 1085. The curriculum focuses on the legacy of the great figures of Al-Andalus, and their deep connection to Islam in everything they did, on every level.
Course schedule: Every Wednesday starting August 17th, 2022 until September 14th, 2022 (1pm ET; 6pm British) – All sessions will be recorded if you cannot attend live.
Upon registration, you will have access to a private WhatsApp group with your teacher, Ustadh Abu Ayyub Marulanda.
This course includes:
The significance of al-Andalus to Muslims, and the strong attachment of Muslims to these lands
The initial crossing of the straits and conquest by Tariq ibn Ziyad and Musa ibn Nusayr
The consolidation of Muslim rule and the advent of the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba
The “golden age” of the Caliphate of Córdoba
The disintegration of the Caliphate into Taifa states
The rise of the Crusader movement and its influence in Spain
The surrender of Toledo to its significance
And more.
This course will help you understand the story of a unique Muslim land, how its story fits into the history of the Ummah, and how its legacy continues to influence us today. The reality is that few history courses in our education system in the West will teach the history of Muslim-majority lands from a Muslim perspective. This course aims to provide a more balanced, accurate, and holistic understanding, guided by our own traditional understanding of the reality of human history in this world.
Our intention is for this course to help youth, and adults, to better understand where we come from. In turn, this will help us begin to imagine where we might go as a civilization in the future, insha'Allah. This is all part of the larger goal of helping us reconnect with the immense riches and beneficial aspects of our Muslim legacy.
This will be a live course, held via Zoom, with 5 sessions total over 5 weeks. Our instructor will be Ustadh Abu Ayyub Marulanda, who is originally from the USA, and has been living in Istanbul for a number of years. We're keeping the class small, to allow for participation and questions. It will be followed by Part Two.
