Dr Muhammad Alama Iqbal (1873-1938) visited the mosque of Cordoba (with special permission from England)in 1932. Here are a few selection of the poems he wrote when he visited the mosque and his observation of Spain.
"THE MOSQUE OF QURTABA"
Oh Holy mosque of Qurtaba The shrine of all admirers of art pearl of the one faith, Sanctifying Andalusia's soil like Holy Mecca itself, such a glorious beauty will be founded on earth only in a true Muslim's heart.
"HISPANIA"
Indeed my eyes observed and absorbed Granada; but my soul is at peace neither from travelling, nor stopping, saw so much, observed so much, told so much, heard so much; yet, solace to the heart is neither from seeing, nor from hearing.
Dr. Muhammad Alama Iqbal also commented on the beacons of light in terms of Islamic scholarship in this part of the world. Personalities such as Ibn Rushd and Ibn Arabi:
Those whose vision guided the east and the west Who showed dark Europe the path of enlightenment.
