He was initially the deputy of Musa ibn Nusair in North Africa, and was sent by his superior to the Iberian peninsula in order to intervene, at the request of the heirs of the Visigothic King, Wittiza, in the Visigothic civil war.
On April 30, 711, the armies of Tariq landed at Gibraltar (the name Gibraltar is derived from the Arabic name Jabal Tariq, which means mountain of Tariq).
The so-called Moorish armies swept through Iberia and, in the summer of 711, won a decisive victory when the Visigoth king, Roderic, was defeated and killed on July 19th at the Battle of Guadalete.
