Meaning and definition of almoravids (1046-1157 a.d.)  :

 

A dynasty of Berber origin that ruled North Africa and Spain. Also known as al-Murabitun, their name literally means those who lived in a ribat. In the case of Almoravids, it was those who lived in a ribat at the mouth of the Senegal River. They were instigated by Abdallah ibn Yasin, a noted Moroccan scholar, and then led by Yusuf ibn Tashfin who founded Marrakesh as his capital in 1062 A.D. Their position in North Africa weakened with the rise of a new power, that of Almohads in the early years of the twelfth century A.D. The descendants of Yusuf ibn Tashfin succeeded him to the throne one after the other until the dynasty of Almohads overruled them. Almoravids are responsible for the unification of Morocco and the rapid assimilation of the Andalusian culture through their patronage of architecture, poetry and philosophy. During their rule they spread a simple and fundamentalist form of Islam, advocating close adherence to Islamic law, and were opposed to theology and Sufism.
