Muhammad XII of Granada
Abu `Abdallah Muhammad XII (Arabic: أبو عبد الله محمد الثاني عشر Abū ‘Abd Allāh Muḥammad al-thānī ‘ashar) (c. 1460 – c. 1533), known to the Castilians as Boabdil (a Spanish rendering of the name Abu Abdullah), was the twenty-second and last Nasrid ruler of Granada in Iberia.
Sultan
Son of Abu l-Hasan Ali, sultan of the Emirate of Granada, Muhammad succeeded him in 1482.
Muhammad XII soon after sought to gain prestige by invading Castile. He was taken prisoner at Lucena in 1483. Meanwhile, his father returned to power and then in 1485, his uncle Muhammed XIII, also known as Abdullah ez Zagal.
He only obtained his freedom and support to recover his throne in 1487 by consenting to hold Granada as a tributary kingdom under the Catholic monarchs and not to intervene in the Siege of Málaga (1487), in which Málaga was taken by the Christians.
1487 saw the fall of Baza and Málaga. 1489 saw the fall of Almuñécar, Salobreña and Almería. By the beginning of 1491, Granada was the only Muslim-governed city in Spain.

Music Of The Sun
by: BabydollListen closely,
Hear the music playin',
Let it take you,
To places far away,
And relax your senses,
Just do what you wanna do,
No need for questions,
It's all there for you
And it's so amazing,
You can't escape it,
The movement takes you,
And never lets you go,
Can't you feel the music in the air,
Close your eyes let the rhythm take you there,
Doesn't matter who you are or where you're from,
Come and dance in the music of the sun,
Forget about your troubles it's alright,
Let go until we see the mornin' light,
Come and dance in the music of the sun (the sun),
Come and dance in the music of the sun (the sun),
Come and dance in the music of the sun (the sun)
So real, so right,
Can't explain the feeling,
Like a sunlight,
Brings the life new meaning,
No need for stressing,
Praying for another day,
No second guessing,
Just trust me when I say
