This page is dedicated to the Muslims of
Spain of 1492
who laid their lives to protect Andalus in the face
of aggression while struggling to uphold Islam.
"...I will forgive all the shortcomings and remove the evil deeds of those who were expelled from their homes or were persecuted for My sake and who fought for My cause and were slain. I shall admit them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow. This is their reward from Allah, and with Allah alone is the richest reward!" (Al-Qur'an, 3:195)

Note The border reads "Wa La Ghalib Illa Allah"
from
right to left. This beautiful and powerful inscription
written in Arabic surrounds the Alhambra walls.
Appreciation
- I must express my appreciation to Professor T. Germano who suggested I create this website.
- If I had not written a paper for his class, perhaps I would have remained ignorant about the Spanish Muslim civilization.
- I also want to thank the current Latino Dawah movement for
its efforts to spread the beauty of Islam.
