الإنفصال المذهبي و السياسي لبني زيري في إفريقية عن الفاطميين في القاهرة

الملخص EN

This study deals with the sectarian and political separations of the Sons of Ziri in Ifriqiya from the Fatimids in Cairo, what historians called the great Shiite and Sunni divide in the Islamic Maghreb.

After the Fatimids moved to Egypt, the sons of Bologhine son of Ziri inherited the reign after him and they tried to manage their affairs as independently as possible, which was achieved during the reign of the fourth of his princes, Al-Muizz son of Badis Al-Sinhaji, whose reign saw massacres that killed large numbers of Shiites, including the 407 AH/1016 AD massacres in Kairouan, Then he declared his obedience to the Abbasid Caliph and prayed to God for him on the pulpits of the mosques of his country and put his image in the new coinage from which the names of the Fatimid Caliphs were removed.

This event had an echo in Cairo, as the Fatimid Caliph Al-Mustansir decided to punish Al-Muizz bin Badis for his act by allowing the Bedouins of the tribes of Bani Hilal and Bani Salim to cross Africa and the Maghreb and granting their permission to do so.

Then came the Bedouin crawl and the negative effects it brought, which historians exaggerated.
