| Abstract: | The circa 220-year-long period between the years 870 and 1091 of the Christian Era (CE) comprise over two centuries during which the Maltese islands were subjected to Arab domination. To be precise, the Arabs continued living here for many years after 1091, when the Normans first established their suzerainty over Malta and subjected the Muslims to the annual payment of tribute. Though the exact day of the Arab conquest has remained a matter for academic discussion, it is generally accepted that Malta passed into Muslim hands in August 870 CE. |
