Al-Andalus Rises - The History of Islamic Spain
The first in a multi-part series covering the history of Al-Andalus or Islamic Spain. For seven centuries Islam ruled in Spain, a period which gave rise to great pioneers in all facets of civilisation. From the Sahaba who were the first to set foot in Egypt, to those who followed their mission all the way to the Spanish coast, Islamic Legacy will study the great men behind the great feats that led to the dramatic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in the year 711CE. From this Al-Andalus arose and with it a unique chapter in Islamic history began. This will not be an ordinary lecture but a multi-media presentation utilising videos and animated maps that will keep in you intrigued from start to finish insha'Allaah.
