The Investigation of the Effects of the Presence of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in the Islamic Maghre

Some members of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) entered the Maghreb after the conquest of the land; and due to their attribution to the Messenger of God (S), they came to the attention of the Maghreb people, mainly Berber tribes. Friendship and affection towards the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) existed among all inhabitants of the Maghreb from the first years of the Muslims entering. Attribution to the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) was considered an honor for the Maghreb tribes. The arrival of the descendants of the Messenger of God (S) had a profound effect on the political, religious, cultural, and social situations of the Maghreb. This library-based research aims to study the effects of the presence of the Alawites and the followers of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in the developments of the Maghreb and answers the question of what the political, religious, cultural and social consequences of this presence were. It concluded that the Alawites and the followers of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) were one of the influential factors in the developments in that area. The results of the presence of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) can be mentioned in the spread of Shiism, especially in its affection dimension, the tendency of the Berber tribes to the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), the awakening of the Berber tribes towards the performance of the Umayyad and Abbasid governments, the expansion of the justice-oriented ideals, the increase of the Sadat generation, and the survival of the children of the lineage of prophecy.
