Muslim Books in Spain that Survived Burning

Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406), referred to as the philosopher of ruins, is generally regarded as the greatest intellectual ever to have appeared in the Arab world. He is a genius who ranks as one of the world's great minds. He authored The Muqaddimah, the most important study of history ever produced in the Islamic world. Yet he is not as well known as he should be, and his ideas are widely misunderstood.

In this groundbreaking intellectual biography, Robert Irwin (b. 1946), a British historian, novelist, and essayist, provides an engaging and authoritative account of Ibn Khaldun's extraordinary life, times, writings, and ideas.

Irwin tells how Ibn Khaldun, who lived in a world decimated by the Black Death, held a long series of posts in the tumultuous Islamic courts of North Africa and Muslim Spain, becoming a major political player as well as a teacher and writer. Closely examining The Muqaddimah, a startlingly original analysis of the laws of history, and drawing on many other contemporary sources, Irwin shows how Ibn Khaldun's life and thought fit into the historical and intellectual context, including medieval Islamic theology, philosophy, politics, literature, economics, law, and tribal life. Because Ibn Khaldun's ideas often seem to anticipate by centuries developments in many fields, he has often been depicted as more of a modern man than a medieval one, and Irwin's account of such misreadings provides new insights about the history of Orientalism.

As salamu alaykum.

This is your brother Riyad Ramo and I created this channel to share my journey of seeking knowledge and whatever benefits I find.

“There is barakah in the luh”
— Mauritanian saying

No doubt, one of the blessings of this world is the act of writing knowledge, just as our Salaf (pious predecessors) used to do.

In traditional schools across the Muslim world today, it’s still common to see students writing on wooden boards (al-luh) with black ink.

Acquiring those traditional tools can be difficult nowadays, so I decided to take a modern twist on the tradition. I bought a whiteboard and some markers for 200 Moroccan dirhams (around $20 USD).

I wrote a few lines from the famous poem of Imam Ibn ʿĀshir Al-Fasi Al-Andalusi in his primer al-Murshid al-Muʿīn on the section of Usul al-Fiqh:

الْحُكْمُ في الشَّرْعِ خِطابُ رَبِّنــَا
الْمُقْتضِي فِعْـلَ الْمُكَلَّفِ افْطُنَــا
بِطَلَــبِ ِ أوْ إِذْنِ ِ أوْ بِوَضْـــعِ
لِسَبَبِ ِ أَوْ شَـرْطِ ِ أوْ ذِي مَنْـعِ
أَقْسـامُ حُكْـمِ الشَّرْعِ خَمْسّةُ تُرامْ
فَرْضُ ونَدْبُ وكَــراهَةُ حَـرامْ

It’s also helpful to note how many times you’ve repeated each section.

It is said that the origins of Imam Ibn Ashir came from Al-Andalus although he was raised in Fez, Morocco.

We try to keep works of the scholars alive by memorizing their poems and studying their books.

Ibn Juljul

He was an Andalusian physician, historian, and one of Córdoba’s early medical scholars. He lived during the golden age of the Umayyad Caliphate in al-Andalus, when Córdoba stood as a beacon of science, learning, and translation and was the personal physician of Caliph Hisham II. His works bridged cultures from Greek and Syriac medicine to the Arabic tradition.

Ibn Juljul’s most famous work, Ṭabaqāt al-Aṭibbāʾ wal-Ḥukamāʾ (“Classes of Physicians and Wise Men”), is a biographical dictionary of doctors and philosophers. It preserves the names and contributions of early healers from Hippocrates to Andalusian contemporaries.

His commentaries on Dioscorides’ Materia Medica helped clarify the use of plants and minerals in medicine, adapting ancient pharmacology to the Andalusian environment. He wasn’t just copying old texts, but he was also translating, testing out, and improving text to help the new generations.

Ibn Juljul represents a generation that carried Greek science into the Arabic world and then passed it to medieval Europe. Some of his works, such as De secretis, were later studied centuries later such as by Albertus Magnus, who referred to him under the Latinized name Gilgil.
