There are quite a few contemporary accounts and records of the expulsion of the Moors from Spain and the 1499-1501 and 1568-71 rebellions of Muslim peasants against their Christian rulers in the Granadan region of Alpujarras from a Christian/western perspective, but I've never seen or heard of a firsthand account by an Iberian Muslim who was expelled, or who took part in the rebellions and what their experience was like. I'm wondering if anything like that exists, perhaps in the former of a letter or a journal or something, because the perspective of the Moorish expellee or rebel is something I'd be absolutely fascinated to read and learn about.

It depends on which groups that ended up where. As I've written here, Barbary states were highly variable in their welcome and their capacity to integrate and accommodate the Moriscos.
To start with, you can read the highly-cited work of K. Garrad, The Original Memorial of Don Francisco Nunez Muley, Atlante (No. 2, 1954), 203, n. 4, 5, 6. The subject of this study is a Morisco (lower) nobleman, writing to authorities in Granada, lamenting how things were turning against them. He wrote in 1567, just around the time of the second rebellion.
When natives of this kingdom converted to the faith of Jesus Christ, there was no condition that obliged them to give up their way ..... the conversion was done by force, contrary to the provisions of the treaty signed by the Catholic monarchs ....
He then complained that somebody from the Morisco community had written negatively about the local priests and clergymen, thus the priest complained to his superior that the Moriscos were still Moors (to mean, religiously Muslim), and that they should be made to abandon their culture and old religion.
And speaking of the argument around religion and culture,
We see Christian clergymen and laymen from Syria and Egypt dress in the Turkish style ... the habit does not make the monk.
Our weddings and festivals and the pastimes to which we are accustomed do not in any way prevent us from being Christian. I do not even see how these things can be considered Moorish ceremonies; good Muslims were never found doing these things, and the holy men left as soon as the zambras and the singing and music began .... These zambras do not exist in Africa or Turkey; it is a local custom, and if it were a religious ceremony, it would have to exist in the same form everywhere ...
As far as accounts from those who had to leave Spain, check out Rodriguez and Wiegers' The Expulsion of the Moriscos of Spain -- a Mediterranean Diaspora, which has chapters on Moriscos after the expulsion. They cite diaries, and journals, which in the English language includes Joseph Lincoln, An itinerary for Morisco refugees from 16th century Spain, Geographical Review 129 (1939), 283–487; and of course, Monroe's A Curious Morisco Appeal to the Ottoman Empire, Al-Andalus 31–1 (1966), 281–304; A. C. Hess' The Moriscos: an Ottoman Fifth Column in Sixteenth-Century Spain, American Historical Review 74–1 (1968), 1–25. This last one goes into good detail on the political and security dilemma that the Spanish monarchs faced viz-a-viz the expulsions.
