The process of the renaissance was motivated by the Muslims who occupied the Andalusian region (Spain) in 771 AD under the caliphate of the Umawid State, namely Al-Walid bin Abdul Malik and the governor of North Africa Musa bin Nushair and commanders Tharif bin Malik and Thariq bin Ziyad. Andalusia (Spain) developed under the leadership of the Umawid State and the Abbasid State which carved a glorious civilization. Muslim scientists were born, one of which was Ibn Rushd, for his thoughts was born the bluff of Averroeism. The Renaissance first appeared in Italy by the bourgeoisie and the word renaissance was first introduced in France by Jules Michelet and popularized by Jacob Burckhardt. On the other hand, the renaissance also began with the Rusydian movement (students of Ibn Rushd) from among the Westerners themselves, among them Musa Ibn Maimun and Siger de Barbant. The contribution of Islamic Education to the renaissance can be seen from the existing education system or level of education such as, kuttab, mosque, book translation center and library.
