What really happened to the Muslims of Spain after 1492?
Most people think the story of Al-Andalus ended when Granada fell.
It didn’t.
In this powerful episode of the Sands of Time Podcast, host Tarek Ibrahim and co-host Mujir Muneeruddin sit down with historian and guide Tariq Mahmood to uncover the forgotten story of the Moriscos — the Muslims of Spain who were forced to convert, forced to hide their faith, and forced to live double lives for generations.
This episode explores:
• What happened to Muslims after the fall of Granada
• How Moriscos secretly prayed, fasted, and passed Islam to their children
• Why the Spanish Inquisition targeted Muslim families
• How an entire civilisation was systematically erased
• Why this story matters for Muslims living in the West today
You will hear real historical accounts of families hiding Qur’ans, pretending to drink wine, pretending to eat pork, and quietly holding onto Islam under extreme persecution.
This conversation connects directly to the wider history of Al-Andalus, the so-called “Reconquista,” and the long silence around the Morisco experience — one of the most tragic and untold chapters in European history.
This episode is part of our ongoing Al-Andalus series on the Sands of Time Podcast.
🎙 Hosted by Tarek Ibrahim
🎙 Co-hosted by Mujir Muneeruddin
Featuring historian and Al-Andalus tour guide Tariq Mahmood (Halal Getaways)
We also reference the intellectual legacy of scholars such as Ibn Rushd and the historical framework of civilisational rise and decline discussed by Ibn Khaldun, while examining how the policies of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile shaped the fate of Muslim Spain.
If you care about Islamic history, Muslim identity in the West, or the real legacy of Al-Andalus, this is an episode you cannot miss.
