يَبْدو إناءُ الماءِ فيّ كَعابِدٍ في قِبْلَةِ المِحْرابِ قامَ يُناجي

Tarfah Alrawaf

 

This blog is dedicated to all things Alandalus. The poetry, architecture, music, philosophy, and all other aspects of the long and rich history of Alandalus. The initial idea behind this blog was to collect poems that are found on Alhambra walls, but not available online, or at least not easily searched. However, it currently includes much more than that. One important information that you should know while reading my posts is that all my research is done exclusively from the primary sources of Alandalus. While so many was written about Alandalus, especially from orientalists, I thought it was interesting to hear from the people of Aladnalus themselves. If there is anything you would like me to research and write about, please let me know, as I would love to do so.
