Muhammad al-Maghili

Muhammad al-Maghili

Muhammad ibn Abd al-Karim al-Maghili, commonly known as Muhammad al-Maghili (died ca. 1505) was an Islamic scholar from Tlemcen,[1] a city situated in modern-day Algeria. Maghili led a campaign to expel the city's Jewish community, which had migrated there after the Roman Sack of Jerusalem, and was successful. Many of the Jews were indeed expelled from Tlemcen and their synagogue was destroyed.[2] He also served as an advisor for Muhammad Rumfa, Emir of the Hausa city-state Kano, and wrote a treatise on government, On The Obligations of Princes.[3]

Original manuscripts of his work are available from the United Nations World Digital Library.[4]
