Abd al-Rahman ibn Mu'awiyah fled Damascus following the Abbasids' conquest and the massacres they perpetrated against the princes of the Umayyad dynasty.
Abd al-Rahman was a teenager when he fled the massacre. He embarked alone on a bloody and bitter journey westward, a journey filled with persecution and siege, with rewards offered for anyone who provided information about him.
But Abd al-Rahman managed to reach Andalusia, earning himself the title of "Al-Dakhil." There, he began a new phase in an attempt to fulfill his grandfather Musallam's prophecy about the young Umayyad who would restore the Umayyad kingdom in the western Islamic world.
Al-Dakhil would defeat the Qaysi Arabs, then the Yemenite Arabs, then the Berbers, and finally the Goths. He would consolidate his grip on the country, becoming the "Falcon of Quraysh." During his reign, Andalusia would become the most prominent beacon of knowledge and civilization in Europe.
