Answer 1

Modern day Iberia is a peninsula in SW Europe which encompasses Spain, Portugal and others. Muslim Iberia would be an ancient empire I believe.

Answer 2

Muslim Iberia specifically refers to the period between 711 C.E. to 1492 C.E. when parts of the Iberian peninsula (now Spain and Portugal) were controlled by various Muslim States. From 711-1038, the Umayyad Caliphate was the only Islamic government in Iberia. Then the empire split into roughly 60 city-states (Taifas) for around 100 years. Then Muslim Iberia was conquered by the Moroccan Empires of the Almoravids and, after them, the Almohads. The Almohad Empire also broke down into city-state empires (Taifas) of which all except the Nazari Kingdom of Granada fell to the Christians by the 1290s.
