Suhaib Webb – The Last Juma Mosque Before Granada Was Taken

Blessed day of Jumuah. This is Masjid Bayazin

Granada, and this is actually the last Masjid

that Jumuah was prayed in in Granada.

So you think about how Islamophobia

rises

and exhibits itself. So this is the Masjid

now that's open in Granada in 2003 through

community. May Allah bless them. But the condition

was that the minaret at the masjid

had to be

shorter than the minaret of the church

next to it. Think about what we fight

about, guys. Think about about what we argue

and divide over,

and you think about what's right

across the Masjid.

What was lost because of our disunity?

That's Alhambra.

Alhambra.

Yeah. Whatever

we have lost is because we're fighting ourselves.

Some of people may, especially harsh hearted people,

may ask why didn't they resist, why didn't

they fight back. Well, there was attempts

in this area. It's gone now. It was

a place where they used to meet

during the reconquest.

It actually wasn't a reconquest. Right? It was

a conquest

of Andalusi,

the Catholics, because many of Spaniards were Muslims.

And there was a family from the Umayyads

who actually lived in this area, and they

would meet here. And they killed them. They

massacred them on Christmas

Eve. And that was one of the last

sort of lights of revolt that was happening

in the area. So this is an actual

minaret except for the cross Nabel that's preserved

as it was from the time of the.

You can see that it's connected to

what was previously.

This unity has an ugly price, man.

So

these were Andalusian

people's homes.

This one was taken over by somebody, but,

and then,

Abu Bakr, who's with me, said this

actually, on the inside, still has the design

from, like, the 14th century.

So this this, according to brother was a

place where a righteous person was buried and

people would visit. There's some verses of Quran

there, I think.

It's hard to see.

But what he said is very interesting

that Like, they even destroyed the the dead,

their graves. Everything was destroyed,

man. So, this Masjid Masjid

area called Al Mansurah, if you're from Egypt,

you know, Mansurah and Masjid. This is every

Friday where the will come

for the general public and give answers and

guidance to the people.

So the scholars were accessible to the masses.

This area is called Al Mansoora,

not the old square,

Granada.

So this is a Han,

which is like a hotel for merchants.

This one actually is preserved from the 14th

century, which is the golden age of Granada,

and this is

where the animals would come and get their

water from. Of course, now it's

something very different,

but it's actually been preserved. There were 6

in Granada.

This is this is the front of the

sun, and you can still see the Araby.

So this soup actually is from the 14th

century, and

it's specialized in harir and deheb, which was

only gold and silk.

So this is Grenada. Tomorrow

hope to go with this awesome group, and

they have a really cool tour guide, Abu

Bakr. Everyone should check him out.

He's not asking. We're doing this for free.

I don't

like charging people for stuff like that, man,

because he does great work. It's called Rawahil

Tours.

Check him out.

That was my brother-in-law. I was just really

excited right now. Are you okay, bro?

I guess there's one more. It's kind of

a sad one, but this is called This

is, of course,

Alija.

Ramblah. But in the and the Lucien dialect,

it's Ramblah.

Like Alhambra is Alhambra.

Like, if you're from Hashem, we say,

But anyways, this area

in 1501 is where they burned

put into to Abu Lekker, our guide, around

800,000

books.

And the fire lasted for 3 days.

So this is where

the

was. It was completely destroyed

completely destroyed. It minerals everything.

And, unfortunately, also, they made the Muslims repay

to build this cathedral. A

tax.

So you're talking about incredible humiliation.

Actually,

one more thing. This is a madrasah right

across from where the old masjid was.

You can still see that the mihrab is

there,

and this was the school.

Look at these Islamic schools in the ancient

Muslim world and how colonialism made us think

that madrasas are backwards and how really madrasas

have been made anemic

because of the economic system that's changed the

Muslim world, but that's another conversation.

But that's why it's important to support

even work like my own at Swiss

so that we can develop and grow in

a way which is,

like, powerful, impactful, and leaves

a legacy.
