Battle of Wadi Lekka
Time
On the twenty-eighth of Ramadan
In the year 92 AH
God Almighty has sent His Messenger
Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, may God bless him and grant him peace
In the religion of Islam
To be his final religion for all people
Their Arabs and non-Arabs
All over the world
God Almighty said
We have not sent you except all of you
It is a good tidings and a warner for people
But more
People don't know
Because by following this religion
Achieving great goodness
For his family in this world and the hereafter
So the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, called
All people
His nation said goodbye after him
To what he called for
However, the darkness of falsehood
He cannot be called Anwarul Haq
Entertain people without stopping
On her way
It was necessary to take the path of force
To remove that obstacle
Which brings people together
And follow the truth
That is why God Almighty revealed it
On His Messenger in the Holy Quran
Many verses
It contains permission to fight
And the matter is done after that
God Almighty said
And fight them until it does not happen
temptation and the religion belongs to God
If they finish
There is no aggression except against the oppressors
So the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, complied
The command of his Lord
So he and his honorable companions set out
Jallad Al-Sad has a religion about the religion of God
It was the first raid he conquered
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him
It is the Battle of the Fathers
Or Dan
And that's at zero
In the second year of migration
There were three companies before that
He sent it
Then the invasions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, followed
Starting from Badr
And ending in Tabuk
Then his companions followed suit
The days of the Rightly Guided Caliphate
So they conquered the countries of Iraq and the Levant
They defeated the Persians and Romans
Then came the Umayyad Caliphate
The authority of the Muslims extended
To vast countries
Among them was the Far Maghreb country
Muslims were still there at that time
They are looking to open up the country beyond
Like Andalusia and the like
Until God created the appropriate conditions for its opening
Facilitating the way for people to enter the religion of God in droves without any obstacles
Musa bin Nusayr
And the road to Andalusia
Musa bin Nusayr took office in the year eighty-nine AH
Corresponding to seven hundred and seven AD
Rule of Morocco
Successor to Hassan bin Al-Na'am
Who was dismissed due to a dispute between him and the governor of Egypt
The Berbers revolted at the beginning of his rule
But he violently suppressed their revolution
Tangier, where the last of their remnants took hold, was conquered
Tariq bin Ziyad took charge of her
He pursued a wise policy
To stop recurring Berber uprisings
It is the Islamization of the country
That is, introducing it into Islam
He succeeded in winning the Berbers to Islam
Thousands of them joined his army
He created a huge fleet to protect the borders from Roman attacks
He began attacking islands and naval bases
Off the African coast
He invaded the Balearic Islands
He attacked Sicily and Sardinia
He did not remain outside his influence
Except the Ceuta port, east of Tangier
Because it was strong
Ceuta belonged to the Visigoths
Rulers of Spain
While he was trying to open it
Its governor named Julian authorized him to make peace
He offered to help him fight the Emperor of Spain
Called Roderick
Muslims call him Ladhariq
Musa consulted Caliph Al-Walid bin Abdul-Malik about this offer
So he agreed to it
Musa warned of the importance of taking caution and precaution
Fearing it was a hoax
Tariq Bahr crossed the alley
Who was known by his name
In the ships of Julian, governor of Ceuta
In the year 92 AH
Corresponding to 11700 AD
He anchored his ships at Lion Rock
Which is now known as Gibraltar
Then he started moving inside
Until he reached Lake Unyendah
When he learned of the crowds of the King of the Goths, Roderick, to meet him
Requesting support from Ibn Nusayr
He provided him with ships and five thousand soldiers
His army reached 12 thousand
Some of them said
While Ladhreq was busy putting down some revolts in Ben Ballouna
In the north
The news came to him of the arrival of the Islamic armies
They defeated his forces in a number of battles
He was shocked by what happened
He suffered severe panic and terror
Walker returned to his tallit
He began mobilizing his army to meet the Muslims
It seems that the Gothic army was feeling its strength
He was sure that he could defeat the Muslims
To the point that they prepared what they would take the Muslim prisoners with
As Ibn Kardbus mentions
When his news reached Ladhriq,
He went out to meet him with 100 thousand horsemen
And with them is the calf
Carrying money and clothing
He is on a bed carried by three horned mules
It has a dome crowned with pearls and rubies
And on his body is a garment of pearls
It is arranged with needle threads
He has a number of animals carrying nothing but ropes
For the shoulders of prisoners
He had no doubt about taking them
When Tariq learned of the news of the heavy Gothic crowds to fight the Muslims
He wrote to Musa bin Nusayr asking for help
He sent him an army of approximately five thousand fighters
Led by Tarif bin Malik
They were carried by ships made by Muslims
Maybe Yelian
Facilities were provided for the crossing of this supply to Andalusia
The Islamic army was prepared in Andalusia
12 thousand fighters
Most of them are Muslim Berbers
In this regard, the author of Akhbar Group says:
Tariq
He wrote to Moses asking him to come and tell him that God had conquered the island
They seized it and the lake
And he had marched to the king of Andalusia with what he had no strength to do
Moses was a skilled man, and he began working on ships
Until he had many ships with him
So he brought five thousand to him
The Muslims in Andalusia gathered at Tariq's house, 12 thousand
One of the reasons for the Battle of Wadi Lekka
When Musa bin Nusayr conquered the Maghreb
He extended his control over all Moroccan cities
Only the city of Ceuta remains
Located on the Mediterranean Sea
It was an impregnable fortress for the Goths in Spain
The Goths had appointed a governor called Julian
During this time, an internal struggle broke out for power in Spain
Commander Roderick turned against King Wamba
Which led to the ignition of civil war in Spain
Between Roderick's followers and Wampa's followers
The war initially witnessed the victory of Roderick's followers
Julian was a supporter of King Wamba, who was overthrown
Julian had sent his daughter to the royal palace
So Roderick raped her
This was one of the reasons for his desire to take revenge on Roderick
So King Wamba sought help from the Muslims through Julian
Provided that they surrender the city of Ceuta to the Muslims
Tariq's army set out through it to fight Roderick's army
Tariq's army entered the city of Ceuta, heading for Cádiz in Andalusia
He entered it without much resistance
Then they headed to Algeciras, Gibraltar
In which he faced violent resistance
It led to huge losses among Muslims
So he quickly called for help from Musa bin Nusayr
So provide him with what was mentioned above
Battle history
The battle took place on the twenty-eighth of Ramadan
In the year ninety-two AH
The nineteenth of July
In the year seven hundred and eleven AD
The battle lasted eight days
Until the fifth day of Shawwal
The bloody encounter
Tariq bin Ziyad continued marching with his armies
He walked along the coast
He set up his camp in a wide plain area
In a bad ball
Southwest Spain
Close to the Burbat River
And Wadi Lekka
Which flows into the ocean, the coastal city of Cadiz
The two armies, unequal in number, met
However, Muslims have a power that is not equal to the power of their enemy
It is the strength of a firm and unshakable belief
A violent battle took place between the two teams
The two sides fought intensely
They even thought it was annihilation
The bloody meeting lasted for eight days
It was a river in Ribat
He separates the two warring armies for three days
I was occupied with skirmishes between the two armies
The Gothic army was on the northern bank of the river
Tariq was on the southern bank
And on the fourth day
The two armies clashed
A fierce battle broke out between them
The Azerbaijanis appeared in the middle of the field
In royal robes
Above a throne drawn by galloping horses
The Muslim Berbers appeared from the depths
Great ability to fight
They were chosen from among the members of that tribe
Known for their bravery and bravery
Among those trained in military training are the best
Tariq had brought a group of people from Sudan before an army
To receive a shock
Because of their patience and steadfastness
The end of the battle
Firstly
The Muslims were victorious and the Goths were defeated
But it was a very difficult victory
And exhausting at the same time
Because of its long time
And the strength and abundance of the Goths
Secondly
A quarter of the Muslims were killed in the army
It is three thousand
Third
As for Roderick
He doesn't know where he went
However, the Muslims found his gray-haired horse
And his saddle was crowned with rubies
His legs fell into the sludge he fell into
They did not find his knight alive or dead
And it was said
Rather, he died by drowning
Fourth
The senior commanders of Roderick's army were killed
Fifth
The Muslims pursued the Goths by killing and capturing them
The sword was not lifted from them for three days
VI
Score a lot of spoils
Results of the Muslim victory in the Battle of Wadi Lekka
This is considered a Ramadan battle
It is the key to Andalusia
The major battle in which the power of the Goths was broken
Through it, the Muslims crossed to conquer the rest of the Spanish cities
This battle is a decisive battle
The fate of Spain depended on it in the hands of the Muslims
So it can be said
All the battles that took place after that occurred in the rest of the peninsula
It was a simple skirmish
Although some of them are important and powerful
If compared to this decisive battle
It did not take long for the Muslims to take over Spain after that
Despite the rugged paths and harsh climate
More than three years
This indicates that the resistance had almost weakened
Tariq took advantage of this great victory
So that the Goths would not reorganize their ranks again
Then he went to the city of Istigah
Following the Goths
Its people met him, and with them were many of the defeated
They fought him fiercely
Then the people of Andalusia were defeated
The Muslims did not face a war like it after that
Tariq camped at a spring between it and the city of Istija
Four miles
It has been called Ain Tariq until now
Fatah Tariq after this battle
Shadhouna, Medawar and Qarmouna
And Seville and Estjeh
He sent a helper to Rumi
He opened his cord
And he sent companies
So Malaga and Albert opened
And Granada
And a ball of destruction
Oriola and Murcia
Then he went to Toledo
He entered it in the year ninety-three AH
Without resistance
He found it empty, with only Jews in it
There are few people
Its ruler fled with his companions, the senior Goths and priests
In a northeast direction
Carrying with them the relics of the church
Tariq left a group of his soldiers in Toledo
He went on chasing the fleeing people on the road that the Arabs call it
Valley of stones
And in a small town
It is called the kal dehnars
The Arabs call it Abdul Salam Castle
It is also called the city of Al-Ma'ida
The Muslims fleeing from Toledo caught up there
They looted the valuable ammunition they had with them
Tariq Ibn Ziyad did not go beyond the area he reached
Perhaps he feared that the enemy would block his path in this mountainous country
Because of the effort they put in
They were burdened with the spoils they had collected
He returned to Toledo after that
From the Battle of Wadi Lakah
We benefit from these lessons
Firstly
If the religion of Islam is accepted by its people, it is the right to accept it
And they sincere their intentions for God
They prepared as much force as they could
No force of falsehood will stand in their way
No matter how many or how many they have
Because the power of faith is stronger than any power that humans possess
Secondly
High goals can only be achieved with great sacrifices and redoubled efforts
Third
That disagreement and internal fighting
One of the greatest reasons leading to the fall of states
Its army was dispersed and its people were humiliated
This is the door through which its enemies enter
This is what afflicts our nation today
Fourth
Explaining the merit of the Berber Muslims in introducing Islam to Spain
Fifth
Working to benefit from the cooperation of some infidels
Against other infidels fighting Muslims
But taking extreme care and caution
