Aṣ-Ṣaqāliba al-Mutaqaddimūn

We raise the first generation of the revived corps, the mutaqaddimūn who came before. We name them the aṣ-Ṣaqāliba al-Judud, the New Ṣaqāliba, to set them apart from the al-Qudamā' of Cordoba's lost golden age. Bound to the dār and to the household, they owe nothing to the frontier clans or the old Arab families.
