What happened to the Spanish Muslims?

This comprehensive video dives into the complex history of Muslims in Spain, detailing the rise and fall of Islamic empires and the struggle for religious freedom.

Covering nearly 800 years of historical events from the Christian conquest of Granada in 1492 to the Expulsion of the Moriscos in 1609, the video explores how religious and political tensions led to the forced conversions, rebellions, and ultimate expulsion of Muslims from the Iberian Peninsula.

Through accounts of significant battles, royal decrees, and the persistence of Islamic culture despite persecution, the video offers a poignant look at the vanished Islamic heritage in Spain and its lasting impact on both Spanish and Islamic history.

"Historical Amnesia" just hit me hard

We often forget the sacrifices which our forefathers made in order for us to practice Islam today with peace and serenity. Yet here we are, most of us, ignorant of our purpose in our life. 😔😕.

If the roles were reversed Islamophobes would cry about it all day and night.

Salam Omar! This story on the Spanish muslims was surely interesting. I already knew about most details about Al-Andalus, but I've never really learnt about the aftermath of its collapse, so I learnt alot from this video!

Though, I was wondering if you'd ever make a video on the many malay sultanates of Southeast Asia, such as the Aceh Sultanate and especially the Johor Sultanate.

I think a video about Ottoman-Aceh or Johor forces fighting off portuguese colonisers would be very insightful. Anyways, love your videos! Keep it up! Jazakallah Khair!

Asalamalaykum ratmatullahi wa barakatu brothers and sisters. My mother side of the family is named Galvez which is translated to Ghalib meaning Triumphant. My mother comes from Guatemala and i am now muslim by choice so this may be a historical significance for me. Thank you for such an insightful lesson.

I remember in college, I learned that the reason pork is so prevalent in Spanish cuisine is one of the ways to 'weed out' Muslims who were pretending to have converted to Christianity.

[strifelord]

As a person of Spanish descent, I'm here to say that slowly but surely, Islam will return to the bloodlines of the Spanish.

[jackieglissman]

I love the way you tell the history facts.

[undead]

This warrants a "what if" video on the success of the alpujarras rebellion

[shafighori]

Can you talk about Iran how Sunnis were forced to convert into Shiaism during Shah Ismail i and Safavids dynasties

[nazmamahmood]

Wonderful expression and voice quality with detailed information. Thanks brother

[FlyinFreeman]

Assalam Alaikum Brother,
May Allah bless all your efforts. I’m a convert Muslim over 20 years. Great grandparents where from Spain not sure which are but I always remind my Mexican Catholic family that we are Moorish Muslims. May Allah bless our Moorish ancestors & elevate them to the highest place of Junnah Al-Firdous. Inn Shaa Allah you can translate this video or all your videos in Spanish so we can share with our non muslim Latino brothers & sisters. This would be great for Dawah. Jazka’Allah Khairan Gracias

This is the fantastic tolerance of the Christians in Spain.

[mirali]

Jews were expelled too. They were given shelter by Muslim Ottoman Sultan. Anybody remembers it?

May Allah forgive us all and grant us all Jannatul-Firdaus. Ameen
