After the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, passed on to the Supreme Companion, may He be glorified in His glory, after he conveyed the message and fulfilled the trust, as he carried the banner of Islam from every generation, his justice, illuminating the paths of the nation and preserving its religion, which is the source of its existence and the guarantee of its stability.

These just and righteous people are the scholars of the nation from the heirs of the prophets, peace be upon him, through whom people are reformed and societies are guided. They are the ones who illuminate the path of life and guide the nation to the straight paths. They enjoin good and forbid evil

And since the scholars are the keepers of this religion and were among its trustees and leaders, as they clear the night by inspecting the subjects, explaining the ways of guidance if matters are suspicious, advising them, and striking at the hands of those whose heart deviates from this correct approach, and saving the ship of goodness that has sailed since the time of the Prophethood from sinking. Those scholars who were the ideal that the nation follows, as their appearance in all parts of the Islamic countries are guiding by word and deed, and the countries of the Islamic Maghreb had an abundant share of this group of scholars, so they influenced its history and became its events since Islam entered this country starting from the year 20 for the honorable migration of the Prophet.

Since the operations of conquest and what accompanies it after the military operations, the extension of influence, education and urbanization, its fruits and fruits cannot be borne except through education at the hands of the working scholars, so we see Hassan bin Al-Numan, who was entrusted with completing the conquest operations between the years 73-85 AH, as the jurists are distributed to the rest of the country To teach the Berbers the rules of religion and spread the Arabic language, the language of the Qur’an, where we see that the Berbers accepted Islam with unparalleled enthusiasm, and the same thing we see with Musa bin Naseer, who undertook the conquest operations between the years 86-96 AH, because when the conquest of Al-Maghrib Al-Aqsa was completed with the conquest of the city of Tangier and what Otherwise, Tariq bin Ziyad resided on it and left with him 17 men of Arab jurists teaching the Berbers the laws of the Islamic religion and the Noble Qur’an, as Islam began for the people of Al-Aqsa Morocco at the hands of these people, and there is no doubt that he did this in other regions of Morocco.

This approved methodology continued to send scholars to the parts of the land that were liberated from slavery and oppression by the West, and when Ismail bin Ubaid Allah became governor of Morocco in the year 100 AH, he also sent scholars from the followers of knowledge and virtue to teach the Berbers to understand their religion so that Islam could be established in the hearts. And among these followers are Abdullah bin Yazid Al-Ma’afari, Saad bin Masoud Al-Tajibi Abu Masoud, Abu Al-Jahm Abd Al-Rahman bin Rafi Al-Tanukhi, Abu Saeed Jathal bin Ha’an bin Omair Al-Ra’ini, Hayan bin Abi Jablah Al-Qurashi, and others. The followers in all parts of Morocco and the conversion of the Berbers, and thanks to these and their likes, the Berbers entered Islam, and there was nothing left other than Islam in Morocco except a group of Romans and a group of Jews.
