Mohammed VI of Morocco

Mohammed VI is king of Morocco, reigning since 23 July 1999. A member of the Alawi dynasty, he was born at Rabat on 21 August 1963 during the reign of his father, King Hassan II, and began taking part in public engagements on his father's behalf at an early age. On ascending the throne at his father's death he introduced several reforms, among them a change to the family code granting more rights to women in Morocco. ^{1 2}

He took a bachelor's degree in law at Mohammed V University at Agdal in 1985, and in October 1993 a doctorate from the French University of Nice Sophia Antipolis for a thesis on EEC–Maghreb relations. He has also received an honorary doctorate from George Washington University. ¹

In foreign policy Mohammed continued the moderate tradition established by his father, diversified Morocco's ties with the United States, the European Union and China, prioritised relations with African countries and international recognition of Morocco's claim to Western Sahara; Morocco became the sixth Arab League country to normalise ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords. The Arabic article gives extended treatment to his restructuring of Morocco's religious field from the first years of his reign — reorganising the Supreme Council of Scholars and the training of imams — as a matter of the kingdom's religious governance. ^{1 2}

He has vast business holdings across several economic sectors in Morocco; in 2015 Forbes estimated his net worth in the billions of dollars, and leaked diplomatic cables of 2010 led to allegations of corruption in the royal court implicating him and his closest advisors. ¹

No text in any edition names a school for Mohammed VI personally. Both article infoboxes give only Islam in general; the one school attestation anywhere is the single Wikidata value of Sunni Islam. His direction of the kingdom's religious field is state policy, and his Alawi descent and Commander-of-the-Faithful style are headship, not attestation, so his faith is recorded as unknown. ^{1 2 3}
