While the Abbasids seized power on the Arabian Peninsula, the Umayyad leader Abd al-Rahman fled to the Iberian Peninsula and built a magnificent kingdom. When he reached Spain, he made it Al-Andalus, also known as Muslim Spain. He gained power by uniting the factions that were already there and defeating the ruling factions. Al-Andalus became a glorious kingdom in the Muslim empire because they had powerful leaders, a stable government, and effective tactics for expansion. The reasons for their decline will also be mentioned in this essay. The most prominent leaders of Al-Andalus were Abd al-Rahman I, Abd al-Rahman II, and Abd al-Rahman III.

Do you believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person? While Other religions say that God is not a man, so Master Fard Muhammad cannot be Allah in person, the Nation of Islam believes that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person. I do believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person, and most people doubt it and ask what evidence do we have to prove that, but despite what other people say I do believe that there is reasonable evidence to prove that because He had gained 10,000 followers alone in Black Bottom, Detroit, He took a man named Elijah Poole, who only had a third grade education, and taught him for three years, a knowledge that was so powerful, and He came to North America by himself to raise his father's people.

Ahmed al-Maqqari would portray the conquest of Spain in such a glorious light, as a North African Muslim writing for other Muslims, he would likely want to portray his fellow Muslims as courageous while de-campaigning the Christians that they were fighting against as arrogant or cruel people. This documents shows how the spread of Islam politically impacted the Post-Classical Era because Islam expanded to new areas such as Spain through warfare and conquest. However, Document 1 clearly qualifies the opinions of document 2 as they argue that the spread of Islam expanded the religion through warfare, but it also led to civil unrest and rebellion. Document 1 was written by a supporter of Spanish king Munio Alfonso VII. It makes sense that the author would portray the Islamic conquest of Spain negatively because he revolts against muslim control, but supports the Christian ruler because they promoted the initial religion of Christianity in Spain.

Members of the Prophet Muhammad’s family used dexterous propaganda to increase control of the empire.

Leading to the announcement of the first Abbasid caliph, Abu al-Abbas as Saffah. Over time the Abbisid Empire became twice as large as the Umayyad Empire.

As each dynasty confronted the gradual encroachment from the Christian north, most notably with Alfonso VI’s conquest of Toledo in 1085.
