Abd al-Mu'min ibn Ali al-Qumi

Abd al-Mu'min ibn Ali, of the Berber Kumiya tribe, met Ibn Tumart at Malala near Bougie, became one of his closest followers, and then succeeded him as leader of the Almohad movement, founding the Mu'minid dynasty. He ruled from 527/1133 to 558/1163, ended Almoravid power with the capture of Marrakesh, and added Ifriqiya and Almohad al-Andalus to Morocco.
