Abstract
The research dealt with valuable and great information about the Arab ‎Islamic conquest in the country of Andalusia, the Sharia obligated ‎Muslims to fight in the way of Allah and spread the Islamic religion, but ‎according to a standards and limits, Nevertheless, the religious motive ‎had an important impact in pushing the Muslim Arabs to join the Arab ‎armies and participate in The Islamic conquests, as for the economic ‎factor, Not denying that it encouraged jihad for the sake of Allah and at ‎the same time brought back economic revenues to the Arab Islamic ‎state, but not as described by the Orientalist Montgomery Watt who ‎worked to distort the image of the conquerors who carried the most ‎important meanings of justice and equity. Many of the ideas and ‎opinions that he adopted were an explicit expression of the grudges he ‎harbored against Muslims.‎
