| | The younger son is weak, sensual, and easily distracted; he will become the brainwashed tool of a religious sect whose goal is to unseat the Caliph and the political/intellectual establishment, and establish the rule of fundamentalism and religious purity. | | | An amazing variety of people frequent the household: the brother of the Caliph, the Caliph's sons, the gypsy dancer Manuela and her sister Sarah, the singer Marwen, poor students, wealthy students, a former religious fanatic whom the philosopher has taken in, Averroës' independent-minded daughter, and, of course, his devoted, spirited wife Zeinab. | | | The qadis were the most learned of men, intimate with the details of religious law, the sharia and the hadith, but also with the traditions of secular learning (including natural philosophy and medicine) that stretched back to the times of the ancient Greeks, preserved for centuries by Arab scholars. |

| Â | Itinerario V.El Legado Andalusi |
| | El Aljarfe owes its definitive form to the Islamic period, and more specifically to the presence of the Almohads of which appreciable vestiges remain, before it was divided out among the Christian conquistadores. | | | Claimed by the Almohad ruler Abu Imran in the year 1146, Algeciras was to witness the final collapse of Almohad control on its recognition, in 1231, of the authority of the Murcia-born leader, Ibn Hud. | | | For more than two hundred years this was the point of contact between Islam and the Christian kingdoms, a border which would not be dissolved until the first third of the thirteenth century. |

| | Only that for the Prophet is given with a nimbus, since for the Orthodox only he was divinely inspired and authoritative. | | | Nevertheless, the Caliphs and the Orthodox were not too happy about this and so, at least initially, welcomed the coming of the Orthodox Seljuks. | | | Instead there soon was, in effect, a turning inward and an examination and definition of what Islâm and Islâmic civilization were going to mean, especially in relation to the rival religions and the heritage of Classical civilization. |

| Â | Ibn Rushd [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Ibn Talmart’s theology affirmed that the existence and essence of God could be established through reason alone, and used that to posit an ethical legal theory that depended on a divine transcendence. | | | Founded in the theology of Ibn Tumart (1078-1139), who emphasized divine unity and the idea of divine promise and threat, he believed that a positive system of law could co-exist with a rational and practical theology. | | | Ibn Rushd’s relationship with the Almohad was not merely opportunistic, (considering the support his father and grandfather had given to the Almoravids) for it influenced his work significantly; notably his ability to unite philosophy and religion. |

| | Averroës, frightened by the consequences of the wrong answer, was relieved when the caliph gave the answer himself. | | | His official task was to come up with an interpretation of Greek philosophy that would fit into Islamic teaching; but unlike many theologians of the time he was too much an honest intellectual and refused to subjugate free philosophical thought to religious dogma. | | | During a lengthy philosophical discussion the caliph asked him whether the heavens were created or not. |

| | Averroës's view that reason takes precedence over religion led to his being exiled in 1195 by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur (reigned 1160?-99); he was restored to favor shortly before his death. | | | Averroës held that metaphysical truths can be expressed in two ways: through philosophy, as represented by the views of Aristotle, and through religion, which is truth presented in a form that the ordinary person can understand. | | | Averroës was appointed judge in Seville in 1169 and in Córdoba in 1171; in 1182 he became chief physician to Abu Yaqub Yusuf (reigned 1163-84), the Almohad caliph of Morocco and Muslim Spain. |
