Islamic Architecture

Andalusian Arabic architecture is purely of Arab Damascene origin, and the Giralda building is considered one of the finest examples of this architecture.

Islamic religious architecture originated from architectural foundations of Arab origin, and the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As, may God be pleased with him (referred to by the author as Al-Hamra), which exists today in Cairo, was the basis for much of the mosque architecture in Islamic countries up to the present day.

The foundation of Granada’s architecture is Arab Islamic

Moresque art is Arab art

mentioned that the term “Moor” was applied to Muslims and Berbers alike.
As for the Berbers, this designation was used for the tribes that inhabited the Roman province.
In Al-Andalus, however, this term was specifically applied to the Arab Muslim conquerors.

Bosworth also confirmed that the Moresque style and art are of Arab Islamic origin, and that zellige was invented in Islamic countries or European regions under Arab Islamic influence.

This leads us to the statement of Ibn Khaldun: “The civilization of the Umayyads in Al-Andalus was transferred to the kings of the Maghreb, from the Almohads and Zanata, during this era.” End quote.

Thus, Moresque art is Arab art

The Arabs of Al-Andalus are the Arabs of the Levant

The civilization of Al-Andalus is the civilization of the Arabs of the Levant

The Arabs of Al-Andalus, despite their diverse origins, were called Levantine Arabs, not Yemenis, nor Hijazis, nor others

They are Levantines and the sons of the Levantine Arabs

Let no one come and attribute their heritage to Saudi Arabia or Yemen, stripping the Arabs of the Levant of their heritage, just as you have a heritage we have not encroached upon, so we have a heritage

We are Levantines and the sons of the Levantine Arabs, and the civilization of Al-Andalus is Levantine Arab, so I hope people with nationalist agendas stay away from our heritage

All the Arabs of Al-Andalus who were from the Levant, Iraq, Yemen, Hijaz, Egypt, and Najd adopted a single identity, which was to identify themselves as Arab Levantines. Historical books refer to them as the people of the Levant, so all the Arabs of Al-Andalus are Levantine Arabs, regardless of their various origins and ethnicities.
