The domestic resistance of barbarians of North Africa and the effect on Muslims conquests in Maghrib (Case study: Kahina of Uras resistance 73-81 AH/692-700 AD)

The expansion of the Islamic conquest and the presence of the Islamic army upon new territories faced new obstacles. The formation of the local resistance of the rural people of the newly conquered lands counted as the most important of the obstacles, in this case Maghrib where Kahina of Uras rebelled against Muslim conquerors. The objective here is to evaluate the 9 years conflict (73-81AH/692-700AD) between Kahina's and Muslims and present a precise image of her personality, then to answer the important questions regarding her involvement in the political activities that took place in Maghrib, and finally to evaluate the outcomes, and to state the reasons for the hardship and time spent on conquering Maghrib in comparison with easily concurred territories by Muslims in the same period.
