    Dar al-Islam—"the abode of Islam"—during the 13th to 15th centuries was a vast region stretching from Spain to India, connected by shared faith, trading networks, and intellectual exchange. While Europe was still emerging from its "Dark Ages," Islamic societies were thriving centers of culture, science, and political power.

    How Religion Shaped Society

    The Expanding Islamic World

    Islam continued to grow and shape societies across Africa and Asia during this period:

    Muslims formed communities connected by shared beliefs and practices The Five Pillars (declaration of faith, prayer, charity, fasting, pilgrimage) structured daily life Islamic law (Sharia) provided guidelines for personal conduct and social relations Mosques served as centers for worship, education, and community gatherings Arabic spread as a language of religion, scholarship, and trade

    The Islamic world wasn't uniform though. Different regions developed their own traditions:

    North African Muslims incorporated local customs into their practice Central Asian Muslims blended Islam with steppe traditions South Asian Muslims developed distinctive architectural styles Persian Muslims maintain

    Introduction

    Islamic Spain (711-1492)

    The Court of the Lions, Alhambra, Spain ©

    Islamic Spain was a multi-cultural mix of the people of three great monotheistic religions: Muslims, Christians, and Jews.

    Although Christians and Jews lived under restrictions, for much of the time the three groups managed to get along together, and to some extent, to benefit from the presence of each other.

    It brought a degree of civilisation to Europe that matched the heights of the Roman Empire and the Italian Renaissance.

    Outline

    In 711 Muslim forces invaded and in seven years conquered the Iberian peninsula.

    It became one of the great Muslim civilisations; reaching its summit with the Umayyad caliphate of Cordovain the tenth century.

    Muslim rule declined after that and ended in 1492 when Granada was conquered.

    The heartland of Muslim rule was Southern Spain or Andulusia.

    Periods

    Muslim Spain was not a single period, but a succession of different rules.

    • The Dependent Emirate (711-756)
    • The Independent Emirate (756-929)
    • The Caliphate (929-1031)
    • The Almoravid Era (1031-1130)
    • Decline (1130-1492)
