Detailed explanation-1: -The Almoravids aimed to spread the Islamic traditions throughout Northern Africa and Al-Andalus which was Islamic Spain at the time. The dynasty was initiated and first led by Yahya ibn Ibrahim from the Lamtuna tribe of the Sahara in 1040.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Almoravid movement started as a conservative Islamic reform movement inspired by the Maliki school of jurisprudence. The writings of Abu Imran al-Fasi, a Moroccan Maliki scholar, influenced Yahya Ibn Ibrahim and the early Almoravid movement.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Almohad empire, like that of the Almoravids, was a Berber tribal state in which the Maṣmūdah tribes, previously united in the community of Tīnmallal, constituted the ruling class. Unlike the Almoravids, however, the Almohads did not have a clear religious orientation.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Almohad movement was founded by Ibn Tumart among the Berber Masmuda tribes, but the Almohad caliphate and its ruling dynasty were founded after his death by Abd al-Mu’min al-Gumi. Around 1120, Ibn Tumart first established a Berber state in Tinmel in the Atlas Mountains.
