al-Andalus | The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain by Dr Osman Latiff

Taught by Dr Osman Latiff, historian, academic and author

Step into the world of al-Andalus, where minarets rose above gardens, scholars shaped civilisations, and a legacy of faith and culture flourished for nearly 800 years. This course, taught by Dr Osman Latiff, traces the full story of Muslim Spain — from the arrival of Ṭāriq ibn Ziyād to the fall of Granada.

Delivered in 12 short sections, with two quizzes and a certificate on completion, the course blends powerful storytelling with Qur’anic reflection. It uncovers the beauty of unity, the pain of disunity, and the timeless relevance of a civilisation rooted in Islam.

The fall of al-Andalus still echoes today. This course helps us understand why — and what we must carry forward.
