  IbnYasin
Thus 'Abdullah ibn Yasin disappeared, this reformer who had seen the conquest of Sijilmassa, the Sus, Aghmat and the desert, and whose greatest title to glory was this Maliki reform which he preached with such great conviction that it brought about the adherence of the great Sanhaja tribes of the desert.
He was killed fighting the Barghawata, shortly after he was elevated to the spiritual command of the Murabitun.
Therefore Abu Bakr ibn 'Umar became the Amir and the Imam of the Sanhaja confederation of Maghrib al-Aqsa.

Ibnu Yasin and Yahya led many battles against heretical beliefs and pagan tribes and they succeeded in converting them to Islam "Tawheed".
In 451 A.H. Ibnu Yasin, may Allah have mercy upon him, was killed in an attack on the heretical Barghawata tribal confederation on the Moroccan coast and was buried in Rabat.
He left a memorable message to his followers: "stay united as one Ummah, never fear your enemy, and never fight between you for Khilaafah".
