Our ancestors got their family names from the names of their hometowns . For

example, Al Halabi shows that this family was once from Halab in Syria and Haifawi shows

Parents usually choose their children's given names in different ways. For example, they often

hope their children will be like their names. If Arab parents call their daughter Nour, for

example, they hope she'll bring light into their life and make them happy. And when they call their son Khalid, they want him to be strong and brave as the Muslim leader Khalid Bin Al Walid.

Reading

4- Read the following passage then answer the questions.

The history of Spain tells us that East and West met for almost 800 years. They sometimes

fought, but there was real contact between cultures. When the Muslims arrived in 711, they took the

country over very quickly. They came with new ideas, and they completely changed the land that

they called Al-Andalus. With new crops and better ways of farming, Al-Andalus soon grew rich.

Muslims set up their capital in Cordoba. Here, they built beautiful mosques and palaces, and the

city became as important as Baghdad. Al-Andalus became a centre of the Islamic World and the

centre of civilization in Europe. Its science, medicine, architecture, arts and crafts became famous.

Al-Khatib found out how people pass diseases on. Here, Al-Zahrawi worked out many new medical

operations. Students in both East and West studied the work of people like these for centuries, and

we still remember them today. Spain is now a busy, modern country. But walk the narrow streets of

old Cordoba and visit Granada’s amazing Alhambra Palace and gardens, and you will find a

different Spain. Here, ancient Al-Andalus still lives.
