The Sanhaja were at this stage only superficially Islamicised and still clung to many heathen practices, and so Ibn Yasin preached to them an orthodox Sunnism. After a revolt of the Godala he was forced to withdraw with his followers. In alliance with Yahya ibn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
