The speaker discusses the loss of the min residual of the ADM (the ADM) in the region of Al Mansoora, which was replaced by a min residual from the time of the ADM. The min residual is now protected by a structure called Al Mansoora, where animals are buried and people visit. The structure is also the last ADM in the region, and the speaker encourages support for their own development and growth.

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			Blessed day of Jumuah. This is Masjid Bayazin
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			Granada, and this is actually the last Masjid
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			that Jumuah was prayed in in Granada.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			So you think about how Islamophobia
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:18
			rises
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			and exhibits itself. So this is the Masjid
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			now that's open in Granada in 2003 through
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			community. May Allah bless them. But the condition
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			was that the minaret at the masjid
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			had to be
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			shorter than the minaret of the church
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			next to it. Think about what we fight
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			about, guys. Think about about what we argue
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			and divide over,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			and you think about what's right
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			across the Masjid.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			What was lost because of our disunity?
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			That's Alhambra.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			Alhambra.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			Yeah. Whatever
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			we have lost is because we're fighting ourselves.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			Some of people may, especially harsh hearted people,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			may ask why didn't they resist, why didn't
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			they fight back. Well, there was attempts
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			in this area. It's gone now. It was
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			a place where they used to meet
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			during the reconquest.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			It actually wasn't a reconquest. Right? It was
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			a conquest
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			of Andalusi,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			the Catholics, because many of Spaniards were Muslims.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			And there was a family from the Umayyads
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			who actually lived in this area, and they
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			would meet here. And they killed them. They
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			massacred them on Christmas
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			Eve. And that was one of the last
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			sort of lights of revolt that was happening
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			in the area. So this is an actual
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			minaret except for the cross Nabel that's preserved
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			as it was from the time of the.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			You can see that it's connected to
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			what was previously.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			This unity has an ugly price, man.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			So
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			these were Andalusian
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			people's homes.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			This one was taken over by somebody, but,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			and then,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			Abu Bakr, who's with me, said this
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			actually, on the inside, still has the design
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			from, like, the 14th century.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			So this this, according to brother was a
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			place where a righteous person was buried and
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			people would visit. There's some verses of Quran
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			there, I think.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			It's hard to see.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			But what he said is very interesting
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			that Like, they even destroyed the the dead,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			their graves. Everything was destroyed,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			man. So, this Masjid Masjid
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			area called Al Mansurah, if you're from Egypt,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			you know, Mansurah and Masjid. This is every
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			Friday where the will come
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			for the general public and give answers and
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			guidance to the people.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			So the scholars were accessible to the masses.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			This area is called Al Mansoora,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			not the old square,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:04
			Granada.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			So this is a Han,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			which is like a hotel for merchants.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			This one actually is preserved from the 14th
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			century, which is the golden age of Granada,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			and this is
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			where the animals would come and get their
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			water from. Of course, now it's
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			something very different,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			but it's actually been preserved. There were 6
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			in Granada.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			This is this is the front of the
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			sun, and you can still see the Araby.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			So this soup actually is from the 14th
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			century, and
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			it's specialized in harir and deheb, which was
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			only gold and silk.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			So this is Grenada. Tomorrow
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			hope to go with this awesome group, and
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			they have a really cool tour guide, Abu
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			Bakr. Everyone should check him out.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			He's not asking. We're doing this for free.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			I don't
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			like charging people for stuff like that, man,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			because he does great work. It's called Rawahil
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			Tours.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			Check him out.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			That was my brother-in-law. I was just really
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			excited right now. Are you okay, bro?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			I guess there's one more. It's kind of
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			a sad one, but this is called This
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			is, of course,
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			Alija.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Ramblah. But in the and the Lucien dialect,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			it's Ramblah.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			Like Alhambra is Alhambra.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			Like, if you're from Hashem, we say,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			But anyways, this area
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			in 1501 is where they burned
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			put into to Abu Lekker, our guide, around
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:37
			800,000
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			books.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			And the fire lasted for 3 days.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			So this is where
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			the
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			was. It was completely destroyed
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			completely destroyed. It minerals everything.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			And, unfortunately, also, they made the Muslims repay
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			to build this cathedral. A
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:01
			tax.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			So you're talking about incredible humiliation.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			Actually,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			one more thing. This is a madrasah right
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			across from where the old masjid was.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			You can still see that the mihrab is
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			there,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			and this was the school.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			Look at these Islamic schools in the ancient
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			Muslim world and how colonialism made us think
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			that madrasas are backwards and how really madrasas
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			have been made anemic
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			because of the economic system that's changed the
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			Muslim world, but that's another conversation.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			But that's why it's important to support
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			even work like my own at Swiss
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			so that we can develop and grow in
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			a way which is,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			like, powerful, impactful, and leaves
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			a legacy.
