♦️Abbas ibn Firnas al-Andalusī

Lost and forgotten history from the Andalusians but to be revived in the hearts of the people.

Ibn Firnas was a famous Berber man from Ronda, al-Andalus, born around 194 A.H (810) He was known for his many skills in invention, medicine, poetry, etc.

He was known to be the first person ever to make a successful attempt in flying. After constructing his own machine in flying, he took flight successfully while onlookers observed. But he eventually hurt himself while trying to land after flying at high speed.

He later learned the reason why he crashed landed after observing the tails of birds and he needed to build a tail like invention for landing as well.

The Algerian Maliki scholar and famous historian from Telcem, Ahmed Mohammed al-Maqqarī, who also wrote a giant work on the history of al-Andalus said about the event:

“Among other very curious experiments which he made, one is his trying to fly. He covered himself with feathers for the purpose, attached a couple of wings to his body, and, getting on an eminence, flung himself down into the air, when according to the testimony of several trustworthy writers who witnessed the performance, he flew a considerable distance, as if he had been a bird, but, in alighting again on the place whence he had started, his back was very much hurt, for not knowing that birds when they alight come down upon their tails, he forgot to provide himself with one.”

Abbas ibn Ibn Farnisal-Andalusī had many other achievements that he accomplished in his life that soon can be covered on the telegram channel, In’Shā’Allāh.

Ibn Hazm al-Andalusī:

It is separation that has moved the poets to weep over former trysting-places so that they shed tears freely upon traces of old places and sprinkled the abodes with the water of yearning. As they remembered the happy hours that once passed there.

♦️Back in the days of Europe...

Some youth of Europe used to travel to al Andalus in the time of advancement of the Muslims.

They came from Germany, Britain, France and Italy to gather knowledge from the Ulama of the Muslims.

When one of the youth from Britain returned to his country. He was proud and boasting to his peers that he studied in the lands of the Muslims.

From that he was mixing his speech sometimes with Arabic words/expressions.

One of the churches said about this occurrence:

“These youth who go to the lands of the Muslims and return to their countries begin their speech with Arabic. They do that because the people will know that they learned in the lands of the Muslims.”

The German orientalist Sigrid Hunke said:

“The youth of Europe used to imitate the clothes of the Muslims and boast their pronunciation of the Arabic language.”

Because of that, a priest once stood and gave a speech in the public square in an Italian City and said:

“It is unfortunate (Christians) are imitating the Muslims in every condition, of clothing and customs of the Muslims.”

Ibn Khaldūn once said:

The defeated is deeply attached to imitation of the victor in slogans, clothing, creed, all of his conditions and duties.

♦️When al-Mu’tamid b. ‘Abbād [emir of Seville] was threatened by the forces of Alfonso VI, he asked for help from Yūsuf ibn Tāshfīn, the Amazigh Emir of the Almoravids (al-Murābitūn).

The viziers of al-Mu’tamid objected to this idea because they feared these men from the desert will see the wealth of al-Andalus and snatch their rulership from them.

So al-Mu’tamid said:

“I would rather let my sons be camel-drivers for the Mulathamīn [those who cover their face with a turban] than swineherds of Alfonso.”
