I love the Tunisi style of clothing.

Reminds me of an Andalusian-North African-Ottoman mix.

Ash-Shifa is a book of narrations of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) related to his life, qualities, sayings, etc in details.

While during our class of ash-Shifa by Al-Qadhi ‘Iyadh in Istanbul explained by Shaykh Yayha al-Ghawthani, we came by something in the book that hits the heart.

While Al-Qadhi ‘Iyad was narrating narrations about the humble qualities of the Prophet (ﷺ), Al-Qahdi ‘Iyad mentioned that he read this particular narration to his teacher Abu Walid ibn Al-Awwad in his house, in the city of Córdoba around 909 years ago.

Shaykh Yayha Al-Ghawthani was surprised and mentioned to us how after all these years we are still reading and studying books from scholars from Córdoba, a city that flourished with history, scholars and Islamic life.

Exactly 530 years ago was the fall last Islamic rule of Al-Andalus in Granada.

This day reminds me of the famous poem by the Andalusian poet, Abu al-Baqa ar-Rundi about the fall of the last remaining cities of al-Andalus.

Here is some lines form the poem:

“Where is Cordoba, the home of the sciences, and many a scholar whose rank was once lofty in it?

Where is Seville and the pleasures it contains, as well as its sweet river overflowing and brimming full?

[They are] capitals which were the pillars of the land, yet when the pillars are gone, it may no longer endure!

The tap of the white ablution fount weeps in despair, like a passionate lover weeping at the departure of the beloved,

Over dwellings emptied of Islam that were first vacated and are now inhabited by unbelief;

In which the mosques have become churches wherein only bells and crosses may be found.”

فاسأل بلنسية ما شأن مرسية * * * وأين شاطبة أم أين جيانُ
وأين قرطبةُ دار العلوم فكم * * * من عالم قد سما فيها له شأنُ
وأين حمصُ وما تحويه من نزهٍ * * * ونهرها العذب فياض وملآنُ
قواعد كن أركان البلاد فما * * * عسى البقاء إذا لم تبق أركانُ
تبكي الحنفيةُ البيضاءُ من أسفٍ * * * كما بكى لفراقِ الإلف هيمانُ
على ديارِ من الإسلامِ خاليةٌ * * * قد أقفرت ولها بالكفر عمرانُ
حيث المساجدُ صارت كنائس * * * ما فيهنَّ
إلا نواقيسٌ وصلبانُ
