The State of the Monotheists was established in Morocco, and this group called for monotheism and the return of Muslims to the Quran and the Sunnah and rejected everything that offends the doctrine of monotheism, hence the name of the monotheists, and it was the fruit of the call that Ibn Tumart started in the province of Al-Sous in the year (514 AH / 1120 CE), and the state of the Almoravids rose In the rule of Andalusia and Morocco, the intellectual movement flourished in their shadow, and a genuine scientific movement was based on the launch of the freedom of research and thinking, in contrast to what the Almoravid State was in terms of rigidity and restriction of the movement of thought.
Hence, the Almohad state is the first country in Morocco that was rooted in Islamic philosophy, and among its merits was the emergence of a group of great philosophers such as Ayn Tufail and Ibn Rushd.
Perhaps among those reasons is what happened to its founder, Muhammad ibn Tumart, known as the Mahdi, who went to the East in his youth seeking knowledge (510 AH / 1116 CE) and ended up in Iraq. He mentioned to him what the Emir of the Muslims did with his books that reached Morocco, where he ordered that it be torn down, and Ibn Tumart attended that council, while others questioned the validity of this meeting. He is Abd al-Mu'min bin Ali Alawi al-Kumi, who was an influential scholar and a lover of them, a scholar, eloquent, a jurist, a scholar of origins, controversy and hadith, and in his days Ibn Tufayl contacted the court of the Almohads in Morocco and became a keeper of the secrets of Abu Said bin Abd al-Mu'min, the governor of his death and Tangier.
