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, “There 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."

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.

A poem about al-Andalus.
It is very famous within the Arabic speaking community.
The first two lines are from the famous polymath and one of the ministers of al-Andalus, Lisan ad-Din al-Khatib.
جادك الغيث إذا الغيث هما .. يا زمان الوصل بالأندلسي
قد مضينا ننثر الخير وما .. نامت الأعين عند الغلس
إننا مجد وعز إننا .. عائدون أمتي لا تيأسي
يا زمانا هل نسيت المسلما .. نور هذا الكون رواء الظما
أقمراً كنا شموساً أنجما .. ومضينا كي نغيث الأمم

Have you heard of the “Ibn Khaldun” of Mauritania?
He is considered personally as one of the most interesting scholars that I have ever read within our century and would be a man not known to most in the English speaking world.
His name is Shaykh al-Mukhtar Walad Hamid. He was a poet, faqih and historian. Born in Mauritania in the year 1897 from a noble family. He has spent his early years seeking Islamic knowledge and learning Arabic in depth.
He traveled to Senegal for business where he met Arabs from Syria and Lebanon. Such as the famous Lebanese writer, Muhammad Yusuf Maqlad. Shaykh al-Mukhtar would have debates with them on Arabic poetry until they were so impressed how strong the Shaykh and Mauritanians are in Arabic that they proposed to him to write about the history of Mauritania and its culture due to the severe lack of resources.
