الكاهنة و الفتح الإسلامي لبلاد المغرب الأوسط

Abstract EN

Dehia bint Matteh Ben Tifan, leader of the Garaoua tribe in the Aureas region of The Middle Maghreb, was said to have toldher people things from the unseen.

This was called El Kahina, and all Byzantines from Africa were afraid from her, and all the Amazighs were obedient.

This woman was known for the title of El Kahina, and resistance to the Islamic conquests in the Maghreb, has had Battles with the commander of the Muslims army Hassan Ben El Numan El Ghassani.

I will try through this research to shed light on this woman and her resistance, who defended her country with all her power, she refused to surrender and chose to fight to death, Although she resisted Muslims, we can not judge her becauses he did not know the value of the Islamic religion, She thought that Muslims are like Byzantine invaders coming to seize the goods of her country.
