XIᵉ siècle – XIIᵉ siècle
Maghrib and al-Andalus
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
The Almoravid regime was the political order opposed by Ibn Tumart and the early Almohad movement. In the excerpt, its religious establishment is associated with Malikite jurists and resistance to Ibn Tumart's theological criticism. The movement's growth was aided by Almoravid pressure in the Atlas and by difficulties the regime faced in Spain, but the passage does not define the regime's full chronology or territorial extent.

Le récit
The Almoravid regime appears in the account as the dominant political power challenged by Ibn Tumart. Its capital was Marrakesh, where Ibn Tumart debated the court jurists before the amir Ali ibn Yusuf. The encounter demonstrated the political risks of attacking both the ruler's religious advisers and the doctrinal order they represented.
Ibn Tumart condemned the Almoravids for anthropomorphic interpretations of God's attributes and held them responsible for the religious condition of the Maghrib. He also criticized their doctors for relying on applied jurisprudential treatises and neglecting, or even scorning, hadith traditions. These accusations supplied the theological basis for declaring a jihad against the regime.
Almoravid pressure forced Ibn Tumart and his supporters to withdraw from their earlier position to the more defensible settlement of Tinmallal in 1123. The early Almohad movement subsequently benefited from difficulties the Almoravids encountered in Spain and from the hostility of mountain kabīlas. The excerpt therefore portrays Almoravid weakness and pressure as simultaneous factors in the Almohad rise.
