I was a Peace Corps Volunteer placed in Meknes, Morocco (next door to Fez) for two years. Whenever I visited Fes it felt like TWO cities in one, culturally. My Moroccan friends would tell me how, subtlety, half the population was descended from Andalusians who fled Spain- they saw themesleves as upper-class, educated, almost royalty, and the other half descended from Arabs and Berbers (Amazigh, Tamazigh, etc). In fact, I think the "new part" of the old city was settled by the Andalusians. Fez and Meknas are truly amazing, culturally rich, historically complex cities. I am so happy I lived there for 2 years and got to experience it in depth.
I may add that Saint Eulogius was executed because he helped Saint Leocricia, a muslim woman from a noble family. She was hiding from his family because they didn't accept their conversion to Christianity. She was executed a few days after Eulogius.
Abaz ibn Farnaz' "flight" account has no merit. It is merely referenced in a writing by one of his rivals, the poet Mu'min ibn Said, and is made to ridicule him, only in the 17th century did an historian revamp it into a feat of engineering, after reading it too literally. "He flew faster than the phoenix in his flight when he dressed his body in the feathers of a vulture." It is simply saying that Farnaz "rose" by being a "vulture" in poetic language.
I really appreciate the videos you do. A query about the individuals blaspheming in the mosques. Were these buildings converted churches? I just want to understand the context better.
Well, we don't exactly know. See, not every mosque has a record. However, I can't think of any churches in Spain that were converted. Sometimes (like in the case of the grand mosque) the site of an old church was used to build a mosque but I can't think of any time the Arabs converted a Church. Turks did that with the Hagia Sofia but can't think of the Arabs especially in Spain.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT Thanks, I know that some of the mosques were later converted to churches. I have only been inside one Orthodox church and the layout is significantly different from a Catholic one. I would think comparatively easy to paint over the images in an Orthodox church than removing the carving in a Catholic one.
A mosque has to face Makkah and have those minarets and stuff, so it's easier to destroy a church than convert it. But still, not many Muslim rulers (except the really dick ones) did something like that. Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph, was offered to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre but he refused, fearing that Muslims might convert it to Mosque.
@@AlMuqaddimahYT Conversions of churches to mosques did happen during Ottoman rule though. Some places had a lot of people converting to Islam or there were few catholics remaining to fund the church, so their religious authorities sold it to the local muslims(the Ottomans weren't just Turks, but the ethnicity varied greatly), who built a minaret next to it and turned it into a mosque.(an example would be the stone mosque in Bihać, one of the oldest in Bosnia) You can usually recognize them by their architecture, which isn't standard Ottoman. bs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fethija_d%C5%BEamija_(Biha%C4%87) I don't know of any church being forcefully converted, without approval and compensation(the sultan even had the Ahdname document to guarantee the rights of catholics when Bosnia was conquered in 1463 and it was respected until the period of bad sultans and decline), but I can't guarantee it wasn't the case because for one, the Ottoman Empire was huge, and secondly, the sultans during it's decline(late 18th century onwards) were anything but good leaders or moral or religious.(they also lost power over the empire and in the end you got Enver Pasha and I don't need to talk about that one(cough cough attacked Russia during winter without winter clothes in the mountains cough cough Armenian genocide(even if Turks don't agree, at least several hundreds of thousands of civilians got killed) cough cough) Nevertheless, it wasn't the rule and mostly mosques would be built from the ground where needed, even on top of mountains if the Ottoman soldiers were in need of one.(like the one in Kušlat, one of the most beautiful in my opinion) www.sarajevotimes.com/take-look-kuslat-mosque-looks-air/ BTW Finally I have found a good Islamic history channel on RUclips. Great work. Keep it up and Esselamu alejkum from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This is an interesting series. However you make everything hasty and it makes it hard to remember the time line. Either make the video a little longer and slow things down a little bit, or cut some things out. Love it otherwise!
@@AlMuqaddimahYT Those of us who are passionate when talking about our subject matter tends to be that way ;). I understand you mate. But because of that I left my friendly reminder ^^
Brother,i see you have made some spelling mistakes, but its okay. You said anas ibn malik, like ans. Btw, Hisham was most likely chosen by his father to become the Emir,for he was born in Cordoba and new the people well,plus he thought the people would see him as a more fitting leader,for he was an offspring of the muwalideen age (which alis called that because,they were the sons of one parent being a berber or arab,nad the other a native of the Andalusian land). Further more he was involved in a lot of the matters of rulership unlike his older brother sulayman who spent most of his life escaping death,to then have the pleasure doing what he was unable to do at his early days(have fun). Plus he rebelled because tlhe thought he had the right to rule as he is the older brother. Hisham was known as a pious man,he was nicknamed (Hisham ar'ridha)-(هشام الرضا) Ridha,is like you are acceptable of someone,or a man your pleased with. So when you say that you're pleased or acceptable of a certain man then you say (Ana radh'in anhu) If its a girl then you say (Ana radh'in anha) If the speaker was a male. Anyway,the people were pleased with Hisham, hence why he was called ar'ridha. P.s,they had relations with the Byzantines because the Abbasids had great relations with the franks under Charlemagne at the time of Harūn ar'rashid,they were all doing the enemy of my enemy is my friend tactic. And the problem with the Vikings started at the end of Abdur'rahman III's(An'Nasir) reign,and it ended at the time of al-Hakam II(Al-Mustansir). Not Abdur'rahman II (son al-Hakam). Other than that,i really didn't know much about Abdur'rahman II's reign. Good video, thanks.

So a group of Vikings was defeated and ended up becoming Peaceful Muslim cheese-makers..... in Spain.
