Abdullah Ibn Yacine's Ribat And His Role In Changing The Situation In The Islamic Occident.
Authors : َsaffedine Mahieddine .
Abstract
The Almoravid State (432–542 AH / 1040–1147 CE) is attributed to the ribat (religious fortress) established by the jurist Abdullah ibn Yasin among the camps of the Sanhaja tribes in the southern region, which today lies between Mauritania and Senegal. Despite the difficulties he faced, Abdullah ibn Yasin—who arrived in this region alone—transformed the Berbers of these tribes from marginalized groups on the fringes of the desert into a state that controlled the western Islamic world for about a century. Abdullah ibn Yasin succeeded in spreading knowledge among these tribes to the point that some of them became scholars. He also formed from them an army that managed to bring al-Maghrib al-Aqsa and a significant part of the al-Maghreb al-Awsat under Almoravid authority, unifying them doctrinally. The Almoravids also crossed into Al-Andalus, where they defeated the Christians and delayed the fall of Al-Andalus by approximately four centuries.
