General Gibral Tariq, commonly known as Tariq ibn Ziyad, was a Berber Muslim general who led the Umayyad conquest of Hispania in 711 AD. He is best known for his role in the Battle of Guadalete, which marked the beginning of Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula. Tariq landed at Gibraltar, which is named after him, and his military campaigns significantly influenced the history and culture of Spain and Portugal. His legacy remains significant in both Islamic and Spanish history.
GIBRALTAR comes from the Spanish mispronunciation of the Arabic Jabal Tariq (جبل طارق) which means "mountain of Tariq", named for Tariq ibn Ziyad, the Amazigh Muslim conqueror of Spain.
