Islam continues to be the fastest growing religion in Europe and the Americas with more than 50% of the Earth’s riches found in Muslim lands, and making up 26% of the world’s population.

Yet our children are washing up on European shores and some of the poorest nations are Muslim Majority.

How do we understand the contradiction?

How do we bring about positive change?

The answers are found very clearly in Muslim Spain’s rise and fall.

This is just the beginning

Before we can start our adventure into Islamic Spain we must take a step back…in time.

We have to understand what the landscape of Spain was before Muslims arrived.

In order to do that we have to go back to Isa (R) ibn Maryam and see the path Christianity took.

Watch as Dr. Quick explains this and shows how the stage was set for the movement of Islam!

The Islamic empire started in Arabia but soon expanded into the surrounding areas.

In this lesson Dr. Quick will take you from Mecca to Spain and trace the path of conquest through Northern Africa.

Along the way you will learn the names of the leaders, the strategies used, and fiqh schools that took these areas by storm.

After liberating Northern Africa through the the introduction of Islam, the Muslim Empire turned north to the lands of Spain and their entrance into Europe.

Watch as Dr.Quick takes you through the establishment of rule in North Africa leading to the opportunity for Tariq ibn Ziyad to lead a conquest into the Iberian Peninsula.

Learn vital parts of Islamic History that is also European History that is rarely taught today.

As the lands of Iberia were being conquered Tariq Ibn Ziyad and Musa bin Nusayr slowly consolidated what Andalus was.

But conquering was easier then ruling and Andalus suffered through many unstable years of leadership.

Watch as Dr.Quick takes you through both the instability of leadership in Andalus and the instability with the ending of the Khalifa Rashidun and how the end of one led to the consolidation of the other.

Cordoba was the Jewel of Andalus. The center of commerce, industry, education, politics, and more.

But how did it become like this? How did it go from a simple town to the crowning city in Andalus?

Watch as Dr.Quick takes you through the leadership of the Falcon and how his policies and ideas brought Cordoba to it’s height of glory.
