 Rise of Islam in Algeria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paradoxically, the spread of Islam among the Berbers did not guarantee their support for the Arab-dominated caliphate.
From its capital at Tunis, the Hafsid dynasty made good its claim to be the legitimate successor of the Almohads in
Berbers were quick to convert and assist the Arab invaders, not until the twelfth century under the Almohad Dynasty did the Christian and

 Almohads
The Almohad crusade to purify Islam did not succeed as it was intended.
The Almohads of course have many of the desert units that other Arab nations have.
          The central core of the Almohad movement – it could be called a rebellion against the Almoravids, actually – was the opposition against the position of the leaders of Almoravids as jurists.

 Islam
Although probably kidnapped and murdered by the Abbasid Caliph, he was believed by his followers to have gone into deathless "Occultation," preparing to return as the "Rightly Guided One," the Mahdî, to usher in the Apocalypse.
Maimonides, on the other hand, fled the Almohad persecution of Christians and Jews all the way to Egypt, where he found refuge at the court of Saladin.
The long Abbasid Caliphate ended when Hülägü killed the last Caliph, perhaps at the urging of his Christian wife.

 Itinerario VII.El Legado Andalusi
However, on the disintegration of the caliphate of Cordova, Qastilya Ibbira was so devastated by the endemic conflicts between Mozarabs, Muladids and the Arab aristocracy that the inhabitants of the area appealed for help to the Sanhaja Berbers, a group of mercenary contingents under the caliph al-Mansur.
However, unhappy with the latter's government, the people of Málaga appealed to the Almohads for help.
The latters' rule was short-lived, however, the Almoravids' arrival in Majorca causing the Christians to abandon the city, burning it to the ground before they left.

 Ibn Rushd [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Despite this tendency, public pressure against perceived liberalizing tendencies in the government led to the formal rejection of Ibn Rushd and his writings in 1195.
Ibn Rushd’s legacy as the commentator of Aristotle was also due to Abu Yaqub Yusuf.
Ibn Rushd’s relationship with the Almohad was not merely opportunistic, (considering the support his father and grandfather had given to the Almoravids) for it influenced his work significantly; notably his ability to unite philosophy and religion.

 Itinerario V.El Legado Andalusi
Niebla's ultimate submission to Almohad rule came in 1155 when, following a brief attempt to rise its inhabitants, the city was seized and subjected to a vicious massacre.
The city was founded and given the name of Batalyaws in the year 875 by Abd al-Rahman Ibn Marwan al-Yiliqi, a muladí or convert to Islam and member of an illustrious indigenous family.
Reaching its peak with the Almohads, Ishbiliya was transformed into the great capital city that, three centuries later, would project itself towards the New World.

Mohammed ibn Yaqub al-Nasir, the new Almohad Caliph of Morocco, sovereign of Al-Andalus from afar
The Christian forces have recaptured the northern regions of Iberia and the Reconquista is currently in full swing.
The Christian are now strong in the kingdoms of Galicia and Leon in the northwest, Catalonia in the north, Castile and Navarre in the central North, Aragon in the northeast, and Asturias (a region which was never conquered by the Moors.) Andalucia in the south is still under the control of the Almohad Dynasty.

 Averroes
His religious views were considered heretical by orthodox Muslims, however, and he was banished from the court by the caliph Mansur in 1195.
In 1182 he became chief physician to the Almohad caliph Abu Yaqub Yusuf, whose favor he enjoyed until Yusuf's death, in 1184.
Averroes studied medicine and law, then served as a judge in Seville and later at Cordoba.

 Destiny
Sometime after 1153, Averroës became closely associated with the noted Arab scholar and physician Ibn-Tufail, who introduced him to the Almohad Caliph of Marrakesh, in present-day Morocco.
Needless to say, Averroës will be the object of their most intense animosity, and the Caliph will be unable to shield him from their schemes.
The qadis were the most learned of men, intimate with the details of religious law, the sharia and the hadith, but also with the traditions of secular learning (including natural philosophy and medicine) that stretched back to the times of the ancient Greeks, preserved for centuries by Arab scholars.

 Muslim Scientists
Meanwhile the Emir Abu Yaqub had expressed the wish that someone would write a clear exposition of Aristotle; and Ibn Tu-fail recommended the task to Averroes.
The suggestion was welcomed, for Averroes had already concluded that all philosophy was contained in the Stagirite, who merely needed interpretation to be made contemporary with any age.
In 1194 he was banished to Lucena, near Cordova, to satisfy public resentment of his heresies.

 Historia, Vida y Civilización de Almorávides y Almohades. El Legado Andalusí
1195 The caliph Abu Yusuf embarks on an expedition to the peninsula and defeats the Christians at the Battle of Alarcos in Cordova.
1146 The Almohad caliph Abd al-Mumin begins to be recognised as part of al-Andalus' new sovereign, thus initiating a new historical period with the Almohads.
1155 Abd al-Mumin declares his son Abu Yaqub governor of Seville.

While a television crew arranged its lighting, several hundred ten-year- olds filed noisily into the chamber, girls costumed in makeshift veils and slippers, the boys sporting burnt-cork goatees and cardboard scimitars.
When Christians destroyed Yaqub's mosque, they spared his minaret and topped it with a belfry and the giant bronze weathervane, or giralda, that gives it its popular name.
Amid the chaos that followed, many Muslim rulers became clients of northern Christian princes, and religious boundaries often became obscured.

 Science, civilization and society
Between 1162 and 1169 Averroës wrote Kulliyat ("General Medicine;" Latin Colliget), which led to his introduction to the Almohad caliph Abu Yaqub.
He used Plato's model state to criticize feudal Almoravid and Almohad rule.
In his commentary on Plato's Republic Averroës agreed with Plato's position that the ruler of a state should be a philosopher or, as Aristotle said, at least be guided by philosophers and described Plato's state as the second best, inferior only to the ideal Islamic state.

 Reference
Averroës's view that reason takes precedence over religion led to his being exiled in 1195 by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur (reigned 1160?-99); he was restored to favor shortly before his death.
Averroës held that metaphysical truths can be expressed in two ways: through philosophy, as represented by the views of Aristotle, and through religion, which is truth presented in a form that the ordinary person can understand.
Averroës was appointed judge in Seville in 1169 and in Córdoba in 1171; in 1182 he became chief physician to Abu Yaqub Yusuf (reigned 1163-84), the Almohad caliph of Morocco and Muslim Spain.

 Averroës
In 1195 he was expelled by the new Caliph Mansur, as he claimed that reason must prevail on the cost of religious belief.
Averroës became judge in Seville in 1169, and in Cordoba in 1171.
In 1182 he became the chief physician of the Almohad Caliph Abu Yaqub Yussuf.

He held that metaphysical truths can be expressed in two ways: through philosophy and through religion, which led to his idea of the “double truth.” He studied medicine under Avenzoar, becoming chief physician to Abu Yaqub Yusuf, Almohad caliph of Morocco.
This philosopher wrote in objection to al-Ghazali and rejected the idea of creation, stating that god is the “prime mover.” His commentaries on Aristotle found their way into Scholasticism, though his main independent work was the Tahafut al-Tahafut, or Incoherence of the Incoherence.
