Tariq bin Ziyad | the conqueror of Spain


 A voice from the army shouts, "burn your vessels", and despite the trouble of an adversary attack, his army  incontinently obeys the order. 

"My Brave Lions, we've come then to spread the communication of Allah, now the adversary is in front of us, and the  ocean behind. We'll fight for the cause of Allah. Either we will be victorious or martyrs. All means of escape have been exhausted". 

 Addressing his army before the battle began, he thundered,  Tariq bin Ziyad was a stalwart man of mujahid from the Berber lineage of Algeria.  Some time ago, he saw the Holy Prophet in his dream who was saying" Take courage O Tariq! And fulfill whatever is your  fortune." also he saw the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his companions entering Andalus, i.e. Spain.  Tariq awoke with a smile, and at that moment he'd no  mistrustfulness of his palm.  

Tariq bin Ziyad landed on Gibraltar with his army of 1,000, which was  also part of the seacoast of Spain.  Seeing the adversary's army of 100,000 in front, the expedients of the Muslims began to fade, Tariq bin Ziyad, seeing the despair of his army, ordered the burning of all his boats, and  also gave a  major and stirring address to the Mujahideen(Muslim Soldiers). 

 The two armies  also faced each other on the battleground, where King Roderick who was the king of Spain, was defeated and killed., Tariq bin Ziyad himself  whisked towards Toledo. The  megacity surrendered without resistance.  Hearing the news of the great palm, Commander Musa bin Nasir left for Spain with another large army of eighteen thousand. The two generals also conquered the Iberian Peninsula, Barcelona and Portugal.



In 711, the Muslims eventually conquered Spain under the leadership of Tariq bin Ziyad. As a result of Muslim rule, Spain came a  lamp of art,  wisdom and culture for Europe.. Kirks, palaces,  auditoriums , hospitals and libraries were  erected.  Muslims were a great power in this world for  nearly a thousand times. No nation could  contend with him in terms of knowledge and wisdom, politics, intelligence and wealth. History is a  substantiation that if the Muslims were united,  also no nation or conglomerate in the world could  contend with the Muslims.

 First, Muslims were entrusted with the last book of God i.e. Quran. It isn't just a book. It's the standard revealed by God to judge right and wrong. Muslims should present all their religious differences before him and accept whatever decision comes without  vacillation. Unfortunately, for the  once several centuries, Muslims haven't been  suitable to give this status to the Qur'an in their beliefs and  conduct. They divided into  coalitions for their own interests, this is the real reason for the downfall of Muslims, and there's only one way to avoid it, following the Holy Quran and  concinnity among Muslims, 

God willing, we will once again unite under one banner for the victory of Islam and Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Palestinian people will once again live in peace. But before that, we have to live the teachings of our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the guidance and duty of Allah. Allah Ta'ala has clearly said in the Holy Qur'an that "And hold fast to the rope of Allah all together and do not fall into divisions". (Surah Ali Imran verse 103).
