Spain in the last decade of the Gothic rule was a political and social weakness that made it an easy prey for any invader approaching it, whether from the south or the north. Andalusia refers to Islamic Spain and Islamic Portugal, and it is derived from Vandalia, which is the name given to the southern part of the peninsula south of the basin of the river Baitī valley. And since the general political history of Andalusia is the story of the struggle between Christian Spain with its various political units and Islamic Spain, and in implementation of the orders of Caliph Al-Walid ibn Abdul Malik Al-Umawi, Musa carried out several exploratory raids on southern Spain to gauge the situation, and it became clear to Musa the weakness of the Spanish resistance. So he began preparing a large army of seven thousand fighters to invade Andalusia, led by Tariq ibn Ziyad, his deputy in Tangier. From this, we see that the Muslim conquest of Spain was not an impulsive military adventure from the start, but rather a planned conquest according to studied arrangements. Therefore, we present a book that sheds some light on the accuracy and details of the Arab campaigns' conquests of Andalusia.
