The Role of the State in Supporting Education in the Kingdom of Granada during the Rule of the Nasrid Dynasty (635-897 AH

Abstract

The era of the Nasrid state in Andalusia is an important stage in the history of Andalusia, as this state was able to restore the health of Islamic civilization through the cultural and scientific development and prosperity that the country witnessed during that era. This scientific revolution was not born of natural circumstances, but rather several factors helped it to arise, and perhaps the most important of these factors, which comes at the forefront, is the role of the rulers in the Kingdom of Granada. It is known that this interest was not limited to the Nasrid rulers and the stage of their state, but rather dates back to the beginnings of the Umayyad era, but what the Nasrid rulers gave it had a special distinction in a critical and sensitive stage. At a time when all the Andalusian cities had collapsed and the Kingdom of Granada was in danger, that state was able, thanks to its rulers, to preserve the entity of that state politically and militarily, and at the same time to establish an intellectual, cultural and scientific glory from which the generation of that era drank and left a great scientific legacy for those who came after them.
