A student related to the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) what happened to the Muslims in Andalusia when they issued a ruling against migration.

The student : ... One follows up on the topic, the topic of when the calamity befell the Muslims in Andalusia and what struck them, either as a consequence of what their hands had earned or as a trial from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). They mentioned that after the Christians took control of all of Andalusia, a ruling came to them from the people of the East, from scholars who are said, or were said, to be scholars of the East, that they should not leave their homes and should remain in them.

The Shaykh : Like this.
The student : And they gained control of it.

The Shaykh : History repeats itself.
The student : So in this region, some became Christian due to torture, and some became Christian out of fear. The evidence for this, my Shaykh, is that in what was called Andalusia, which is Spain today, there are remnants of Christians who sacrifice on the Day of Sacrifice.

The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The student : And they do not know why they sacrifice; it is merely a custom they left behind, as their original ancestors were Muslims.

The Shaykh : Yes, and there are also people like George Ben Talios Ben Muhammad, here.
The student : In fact, my Shaykh, this is part of following up on the topic. We came to this topic as part of... I have a specific study at the university that addressed this topic. The occasion for this is that the ruling came to remain, so they became Christian due to torture, and the Inquisition courts are well known.

The Shaykh : They do not look at anything but this; they do not look at what comes after. There is no power or might except with Allah.
The student : We carried the trust, but only in the sense of trust, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
