سلام عليكم DEAR ALL Berbers were quick to convert to islam and assist the Arab military conquerors in the past -So now we will appreciate these translation as well it will be a remind us that The Muslims who entered Iberia in 711 were mainly Berbers, and were led by a Berber, Tariq ibn Ziyad, though under the suzerainty of the Arab Caliph of Damascus Abd al-Malik and his North African Viceroy, Musa ibn Nusayr. A second mixed army of Arabs and Berbers came in 712 under Ibn Nusayr himself. And we ask Allah The most High to give the best guidance the once of the prophet for all peoples and Berbers ..and we wish that it will be a reason to well understand the Islam for whom cannot read Arabic language
