In the Name of Allah, most Gracious, most
Merciful
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.
