The Almohads (al-Muwahhidun, “those who affirm the unity of God”) created an Islamic empire in North Africa and Spain inspired by the radical religious teachings of Ibn Tumart who proclaimed himself the Mahdi, a promised messianic figure. ‘Abd al-Mumin was Ibn Tumart’s selected successor and the first Almohad caliph. From Tinmel in the Atlas Mountains, the Almohads defeated the Almoravids in Morrocco, establishing their capital at Marrakesh in 1147. Almohad rule soon extended to al-Andalus and across the Maghreb, uniting both Spain and North Africa under one creed and one government. TERMS OF SALE We combine shipping!
