The Almoravids (448-541 A.H./1056-1146 A.D.) : The<br />

Almoravids were Berber descendants <strong>of</strong> the Limtunah, a tribe<br />

<strong>of</strong> Sinhajah. They founded an Islamic state in Morocco and<br />

ruled Andalusia and Tunisia. They were known for their<br />

covered faces and were called Al-Murabitin for living in<br />

secluded places for practicing acts <strong>of</strong> worship. Yusuf bin<br />

Tashfin was the most famous among their Sultans. He founded<br />

Marrakesh and made it the capital <strong>of</strong> his state. He defeated the<br />

Franks and put an end to the rule <strong>of</strong> Muluk Al-Tawa'if (the<br />

Kings <strong>of</strong> the Petty States). He left to `Ali, his son, a strong and<br />

vast state, but it was eventually destroyed by Almohads.<br />

Almoravid state. The Almohads ruled Morocco and extended<br />

their influence over Andalusia. Their state collapsed in<br />

Andalusia after the Battle <strong>of</strong> Al-`Aqab, (609 A.H./1212 A.D.)<br />
