Al-Andalus c. 1200

After the fall of the Caliphate of Cordoba in 1031, al-Andalus divided into numerous petty-kingdoms which were easy prey to the northern Christian kingdoms. In 1085, the first of two Amazigh (Berber) dynasties take over al-Andalus, ruling in turn. By 1200, the powerful Al-Muwahhidun had beaten the Christian armies on numerous fronts but soon the tables would turn...

al-Qadi Abu Bakr Ibn al-Arabi al-Andalusi was one of the major scholars and judges of the Muslim world. Although he was from al-Andalus which was a place of Islamic learning, he traveled to Sham and Iraq to gain more knowledge.

When the Imam was in Palestine, he visited one of its major cities, Nablus. (which is a twin city to Damascus). Here is what he said about it:

โ€œIt's a valley between two mountains. Full of rivers, fruits, shades, and cold flowing water. It's a city of abundant blessings and always full of safety.โ€

Ibn Hazm and Samuel ibn Naghrillah

Samuel ibn Naghrillah was an author of many Jewish works and was an authority to the Jews in the city of Granada, Al-Andalus.

He was famously known to be a Wazir (or prime minister) to one of the rulers of a Taifa (Muslim kingdom that was fighting other Muslim kingdoms). Samuel led many battles in defense of this Taifa.

Ibn Hazm, the famous polyglot and Muslim scholar, knew Samuel ibn Naghrillah and had a feud with him. Ibn Hazm didnโ€™t like the idea of a Jewish figure having high power in Al-Andalus and in response wrote a refutation to him and to Jewish people in general.

Ibn Hazm had personal knowledge of Judaism through his interaction with Jews in Medieval Iberia and was easily able to access Jewish many works. He was also able to have some knowledge of Hebrew.

Although Ibn Hazm was criticized by Muslim scholars for his views in jurisprudence and theology, his works related to the Jews are interesting to read. Especially for a student of knowledge to dive deeper into critical analysis.

It is surprising to see many academics and even orientalists in the western world have paid attention to the works of ibn Hazm and have written some articles related to his interaction with Jews in Al-Andalus.

Keys.

From what the people of Palestine and the ancestors of Andalusians share in common are keys. Keys from a house that were passed on from generation to generation. Houses that were full of joy, meals that mothers cooked and where children played in. Generations that witnessed ethnic cleansing, lands stolen and forced conversions.

Some Andalusian families in North Africa still hold on to keys that were from their ancestral homes in al-Andalus and some families in Palestine still hold on to the keys of their ancestral homes that they lost after being displaced.

Check out the project, โ€˜Children of Al-Andalusโ€™ and their social media accounts that show the lives of Andalusian families that still exist until this day. They have an upcoming documentary called โ€˜A Lost Paradise in Moroccoโ€™. Watch the trailer here:
