Abstract

Andalusian publication before and after the Almoravid era was not inferior without poetry in expressing Andalusian life in its many aspects. Rather, its role was clear in this life from its early stages and it is sufficient to refer to the grilled sermon of Tariq bin Ziyad prior to the opening of Andalusia and the kinds of sermons that followed and The chant of Enlightenment of Andalusian princes in the context of their treatment of the problems of political, social, economic and other life in many texts that occupied large areas of Andalusian literature and history sources. Islam in Andalusia did not require the study of the archeological victory, which expresses this in the most accurate and accurate expression of its importance and its position in quantity and quality in addition to what the research confirms of clarity of the characteristics of Omar al-Mourabitoun and their efforts in working to collect the word of the leaders of the sects in Andalusia and stand against the hurricanes of the campaigns of the enemies lying in wait for this country and what they were making of Efforts to sow discord, weakness and rivalry from the Muslims in the peninsula and to bring down cities completely, then eliminate an ancient, positive and balanced civilization that served Humanity has had centuries, and for its next renaissance, important foundations and rules were laid in every field of scientific and literary knowledge.
To achieve these goals, the study came in an introduction, dealing with a brief definition of the age of the Almoravids and introductions to their entry into Andalusia, followed by a brief word on prose before the era of the Almoravids, i.e. from the conquest until the end of the era of the sects, then the research presented the topics of jihadist prose with reference to those topics arranged according to the spaces occupied by In Al-Andalus and Al-Mashreq Sources, a brief analysis highlights
The importance of the topics and their relevance to the jihad life and their expression of the objectives of the Almoravid princes in assuming the rule of Andalusia after their despair from reforming the kings of the sects and gathering them on a common word. The important topics were: messages of jihad, conquest, and the discourse of the rebels, and the call for unity and reunification.
The research then dealt with looking at the most prominent features of jihadist prose, drawn from contemplation of prose texts on both content and form levels, so that the image is closer to clarity and integration and places this prose art in its appropriate place from the ancient heritage of Andalusia.
