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.

Shaykh Mukhtar eventually decided to write an encyclopedia of Mauritania discussing the political, cultural and social life of the country. It took him 50 years to complete!
The shaykh also has a poem about Qabd and Sadl according to the Maliki madhab.
After his stay in Senegal, he returned back to Mauritania were he took a position of teaching as a professor of Arabic and history. He became very well known to the scholars and people of his country until he eventually became an advisor for the prime minister. After Mauritania got self-governing rule in 1958, Shaykh Mukhtar participated in writing the new constitution.
After a long period of teaching and serving his country, he decided to retire and spend his last days in the city of Madina, Saudi Arabia where he was granted Saudi citizenship by King Khalid ibn ‘Abdul Aziz.
Due to the shaykhs efforts in writing his encyclopedia, teaching history for many years and having a strong passion for history, he was called the “ibn Khaldun” of Mauritania. Similar to how ibn Khaldun wrote his big book of history and his passion for history.
Shaykh Mukhtar passed away in Madina in 1993 and is buried in al-Baqi’.
May Allah have mercy on him.
