| | Sauod (2004) notes that quarters were often named for the socioeconomic character of their inhabitants; there was the Humat Al-Andalus for the Andalusian Muslims who came from Spain (after the Aghlabid period), the Jewish Hara quarter, and the Christian Humat al-Ifranj. | | | Under the Aghlabids, the mosque became “the focal point of the religious and cultural life of the Aghlabid reign.” (Saoud 2004) Non-Muslims have always been forbidden from the mosque’s interior, creating an interesting situation in which the center of the cultural life of city is inaccessible to all of the city’s minorities. | | | The Aghlabids were known for their religious orthodoxy and, as such, the organization and land use of the central medina reflects “Islamic social and cultural values.” (Saoud 2004) There are three major elements of the central medina, each reflecting a different function of the inner city, all of which are still major functions today. |
