Andalusian Exiled Scholars and their Conditions

Abstract

Scientists, jurists and thinkers had a role in Andalusia. Among them  were judges, writers, poets, historians  and philosophers. sSome of them graduated to become ambassador and one of the senior ministers. So everyone was affected by the events in Andalusia, such as disorder, succession of princes and the antagonism of Christians abroad and their unity against the Arab Muslim who suffered injustice, hatred, skepticism and exile outside Andalusia. Books and poems  were  censored to find pitfalls and they were also interpreted ,unfairly ,against the then  existing rule. For instance the writings  issued by Ibn Alabar Albalensy led to his death .The same thing happened to Lisan   Aldin I bin Khatib  in that  he was interpreted  that his  doctrine was  other than exiled. Scientists  wronged    in case of issuing a fatwa which  did not impress the ruler or his close friendship. Therefore, scientists had a large share of injustice as a result of the vaiation of those countries and the  rapid succession of events in Andalusia.
