This paper describes the influences of Islam on life and society of Spain. It highlights some key areas of economy and culture in which the Muslim rule in Spain had its longest impact. The influences lasted long, the paper argues, due to the Muslim rulers' respect for 'diversity', 'tolerance' for other religions, and patronization for the development of science and knowledge. The influence, the paper concludes, is still visible in daily life in contemporary Spain.
