Tariqnaut 

(noun) A Muslim spacefarer intended specifically to advance conquest or colonization of other worlds. Derived from "Tariq", the Arab conqueror of Spain, and "Nautes", the Greek suffix indicating the navigators of a vessel. Compared to Astronaut, Taikonaut, Najmonaut, Angkasawan, Cosmonaut, etc.
While many Muslim countries have sent Najmonauts into space over the past forty years, only the United Arab Emirates has pledged to put Tariqnauts on Mars as part of their current program.
