Al-Andalus was the most advanced region in Western Europe during the Early Middle Ages. And the most heir to Greco-Roman, Persian, and Eastern knowledge after the fall of Rome. Birthplace of Averroes, Ibn Hazm, Ibn Tufayl, Al-Zahrawi, Maimonides, Ibn Arabi, and countless others who shaped philosophy, medicine, and science across the Mediterranean.
It was Al-Andalus not Visigothic Hispania that gave Europe its first real exposure to Aristotle, astronomy, algebra, and modern medicine, centuries before the Renaissance. While the rest of Europe struggled to maintain basic literacy, cities like Córdoba had paved streets, hospitals, streetlights, public libraries, and over 70,000 manuscripts in a single library.
Muslims they revived a decaying province that is spain and turned it into a beacon of civilization that even Christian Europe admired and envied. Andalusian agriculture brought rice, citrus, saffron, and irrigation techniques that changed Iberia forever.
Even the so-called “Spanish” identity was forged through this fusion of Berbers, Arabs, Visigoths, and Jews. Al-Andalus was not a foreign imposition but a cultural and scientific rebirth, a blend that elevated Iberia to a status it hadn't seen since Rome.
And Averroes? He didn’t call Muslims parasites. He defended rationalism, and was persecuted not by Arabs, but by conservative forces yet still worked under Muslim rulers, wrote in Arabic, and remains one of Islam’s greatest philosophers. To call him anti-Muslim is to erase his entire legacy.
Muslims re-civilize Europe starting with Spain.
