North Africa
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
The Muslim conquest of the Maghrib was the prolonged incorporation of North Africa into the Islamic political world between 642 and 711. It culminated in the campaigns of Hassan ibn al-Nu'man and Musa ibn Nusayr, the creation of provincial administrations, the submission and conversion of many Berber communities, and the establishment of Kayrawan as the region's governing center.

Le récit
The conquest of the Maghrib unfolded over several decades, beginning in 642 and ending in 711. Muslim authority was first organized in Ifriqiya, where successive commanders developed administrative institutions and military bases. The process combined warfare, negotiated submission, settlement, religious teaching, and the incorporation of local fighting men into Muslim armies.
Hassan ibn al-Nu'man strengthened Ifriqiya's administrative infrastructure and helped make Kayrawan the central base of Muslim authority. Musa ibn Nusayr then launched campaigns against communities in the central and western Maghrib, attacking Djabal Zaghwan, pursuing displaced groups into the west, occupying Tangier, and securing the submission of most Berbers in the region.
The conquest produced a new political geography. Tlemcen became the capital of the central Maghrib, Tangier the capital of the far western Maghrib, and al-Sus al-aksä a third province. Yet conquest did not end conflict: unequal treatment of Berber converts, fiscal grievances, and Umayyad centralization later contributed to Kharidjite resistance and the movement toward Maghribian independence.
