Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi (d. 457 AH.) said about separation:

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

When Imam Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi al-Andalusi arrived in Damascus from al-Andalus, he decided to live at gate al-Faradis.

He said, β€œThere is nothing on earth like the al-Faradis gate. I took the place as my residence. When I felt lonely, it was my place of retreat. And it was my solitude for studying."

πŸ”·New book!

A new book related to Andalusi cooking has been published from Brill.

There is 460 recipes included in this book!

Many Andalusian cuisine have been lost but there has been a big influence on the cuisine of Morocco, Algeria and Tunis due to the number of migrants being forced out of al-Andlalus and later settling in these lands.

He is a historian of al-Andalus and has done a lot of work related to Andalusian history. He has also translated many works into Arabic.

πŸ”·Some pictures of beautiful Andalusian Maghribi ornamentation from the artist Fouad Blili.

Andalusian art is one of my favorite styles. It feels that if has a mixture of European and North African art into one.

Check out brother Fouad and his amazing work!

πŸ”·New Book!

A newly published book on medicine for the first time has been published.

Abu Ishaq Ibrahim al-Qariji al-Andalusi (died after 637H.) who was one of the main physicians near the end of fall of al-Andalus.

The book talks about topics related to preserving the body from diseases, negative effects that can occur on body organs, herbal treatments, etc.

This book is based off three other famous books of medicine written by Andalusians:

1. al-Taysir fi al-Mudawa wa'l-Tadbir from ibn Zuhr

2. al-Kuliyat fi al-Tib from Abu Walid ibn Rushd

3. al-Adwiya al-Mufarida from Abu al-Abbas al-Nabati ibn al-Rumiya

Ustadh Al-Mahdi ibn Muhammad al-Sa’idi helped annotate the book. He is doing a great job in publishing new books from Moroccan and Andalusi heritage.

Poem of Lisan ad-Din ibn al-Khatib of the Nasri Ruler Yusuf I of Granada | Shaykh Said al-Kamali

I translated a poem from a famous well known historian, polymath and minister of al-Andalus, Lisan ad-Din ibn al-Khatib.

In this poem, Lisan ad-Din speaks highly of one of the last kings of Al-Andlaus, Abu Hajjaj Yusuf ibn Nasir.

Abu Hajjaj is also named al-Muayyad Billah and was the seventh ruler of the Emirate of Granada.

You can read more about him here:
