Religious Communities in Al-Andalus during the Period of the Taifas and the Almoravid Dynasty"

Abstract

The era of the Taifa Kings and the Almoravids is considered an important era, as chaos prevailed and the body of Andalusia was afflicted with dispersion and conflict. Often, there was talk about the political and economic conditions and even scientific competition in that era, so we chose this study about religious sects, whether Islamic, Jewish or Christian, as events helped the emergence of religious sects with political sects, as the People of the Covenant gained influence in this As the era became more free, Sufism flourished greatly among the classes of Andalusian society. Andalusian Sufism was more committed than Sufism in the East. As for the Mu'tazila, their entry into Andalusia was late and Mu'tazila was not very popular. Moreover, the authorities dealt with the Mu'tazila with great firmness and severity.
