🔷Belyounech | بليونش

The beach of Belyounech is at the very end of Morocco and one of the most closest in distance to the land of Spain.

The distance between Belyounech and Spain is around 50 km.

A number of Muslim Andalusian scholars have mentioned the beauty of this beach and it’s clear blue waters.

al-Qahdi ‘Iyadh as-Sabti, the pride of the Malikis, said once in a poem:

بليونش جنة ولكن ... طريقها يقطع النياطا

كجنة الخلد لا يراها ... إلا الذي جاوز الصراطا

‏Belyounech a paradise but… it’s path getting there is many, like veins of the heart.

Like paradise of the afterlife, none will see it….. except passing the Sirat (bridge to Jannah).”

The famous Andalusian historian, Abu Marian ibn Hayyan al-Qurtubi, who is an author of many books on Andalusian history said about Belyounech:

“It’s parks are enormous. Belyounech contains water springs, valleys and many parks. It also has beautiful architecture with all kinds of trees and fruits.”

The well known Andalusian polymath Lisan ad-Din ibn Khatib also has a beautiful poem about Belyounech. He said:

بليونش أسنى الأماكن رفعة ... وأجل أرض الله طرا شانا

هي جنة الدنيا التي من حلها ... نال الرضا والروح والريحانا

قالوا القرود بها فقلت فضيلة ... حيوانها
قد قارب الإنسانا

“Belyounech is the most shiniest of lands of high honor… it’s from the most honored natural lands of Allah.

It is paradise of the earth and who made it beautiful… will get gratification, comfort and enjoyment.

They said there is only monkeys there but I said there is virtue… and it’s animals are like humans.”

She was from the city of Toledo. The Catholic Inquisition discovered with her a copy of the Qur’an. When they confronted her she replied that she never read it. But took her away and tortured her.

Catholic Inquisition sentenced her with a punishment that they would carry her around the streets on a donkey while covered with her name and the charges against her written for display. Her charges were having a Qur’an in her possession. She was then thrown in prison and forced to learn about Chirstanity. This event happened in the year 1006/1597 Hijri.

This event is a proof that the religion of Islam was still continuing to be followed by people of Toledo more than five centuries after its fall of Islamic rule by the hands of the Spanish army. Muslim women were persecuted, despite the brutal methods of trying to make Muslims leave their religion.

There is a lot of talk about if the Queen of England was a descent of the Prophet (ﷺ) [I don’t consider that she is].

‎What about how many Spanish, Portuguese or even Sicilian people are walking around right now and don’t even know their ancestors could of been Muslims?
