Pendidikan Islam di Spanyol dan Sisilia

Abstract

Islam's introduction into Spain in 711–1492 AD (781 years) and Sicily in 827–1194 AD (367 years) was inextricably linked to the Umayyad Caliphate's territorial expansion via the North African route, which made both areas globally renowned for their educational and cultural achievements. The two levels of Islamic education that are taught in both areas are essentially Kuttab, which covers fundamental and intermediate knowledge. Following Baghdad and Constantinople, Spain was the unrivaled hub of Islamic science and culture at the time. It is therefore not surprising that other European countries started traveling to this Andalusian nation at that time in order to study a variety of disciplines from Spanish Muslims by reading books authored by Andalusian experts in both public and private settings. From 881 to 1091 AD, Islam dominated Sicily. Similar to Toledo in Andalusia, Palermo was a major location for Islamic academics to translate works into Latin.
