♦️History of Andalusians also on the side of Portugal.

Imām Abu Walid al-Bājī was from the place, Beja in Portugal.

He is the author of many books including an explanation of al-Muwata and An-Nasīhah Al-Waladiyyah. He lived during the time of ibn Abd al-Barr and Ibn Hazm, who he has debated face to face with.

There is a street named after him in his birth place of Beja, Portugal.

Imām Dhahibi has a long biography of the Imām in his book, Siyar a’lam al-Nubala.

May Allah have mercy on him.

♦️Amazing and useful book for the student!

This book written by the blessed shaykh, Muhammad Muntasir Billah al-Kettanī (1332-1419 هـ) rahmahullah, who complied all the opinions of Fiqh from the Imām of the Dhāhiryah, ibn Hazm al-Andalusī.

ibn Hazm’s opinions are referenced in order and this book helps to relocate them. Refer to the pictures I have posted. Also includes a beautiful background to the book from Doctor Hamza al-Kettanī, who is also the editor of the book as well.

Imām ibn Hazm al-Andalusī:

❝If you find that you have a natural inclination towards a particular science - even if that science is inferior to others - don’t preoccupy yourself with other than it, lest you become like the one who tries to grow coconut trees in Andalus or olive trees in India; they don’t bear anything.❞

[Mudāwatun Nufūs]
Very interesting article that speaks about how Islam and the Muslims had a impact on Sicily and it’s people.

From the article:

"Sicilians differ from the rest of Europe in this natural disposition for diversity. Sicilians have this affinity for the Islamic world in their DNA."
