	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Le Gall and Perkins, The Maghrib in Question
		In the Maghrib itself, a somewhat larger cadre of historians had emerged in the years since European political control had ended, but with only a handful of exceptions, the work of these pioneers was difficult to obtain and was not widely known outside the Maghrib, even among their historian colleagues.
		The varieties of the history and historiography of the Maghrib reveal the limits of this earlier dialectic, largely because the region has been both victim and beneficiary of the interaction of numerous political and cultural legacies from the Berbers to the Byzantines, from the Muslims to the officials of metropolitan France.
		Part One groups several general pieces on the nature and scope of the historiography of the Maghrib; Part Two delves into a series of specific issues related to the modern history of the Maghrib; and Part Three explores the range of possibilities offered by the sources for Maghribi history.

	Why combine Namaz Zuhr-Asr and Maghrib-Isha? Combining Salat (Salah), Salaat (Ritual Prayer), Namaaz
		It is useful to state that the timing of Maghrib Namaz and Iftar of fasting differ between Shias who are followers of Real Islam through Ahlul bayt (A.S.) and other Muslims who mainly follow either Abu Hanifa, Shaafeie, Mealik, or Ibne Hambal.
		This again proves that time of Maghrib Namaze is beginning of the night, which exactly is the time considered by Shia Muslims.
		But we will not refer to these books because they are Shia books and we want to prove the fact to the Non-Shia, far that we will prove it from their own books which are considered by them as the main source of Shariat after Quran.

	Did you know: Food History
		Couscous is a staple food in the Maghrib that requires very little in the way of utensils for its preparation.
		These very early references to couscous show that either it is not unique to the Maghrib or it spread with great rapidity to the Mashraq (the eastern Arab world).
		I believe it is unique to the Maghrib and was invented there and that its appearance in the Levant is a curiousity.

		The pioneer filmmakers of the Maghrib, as this region is known, are aiming to express, above all, the social realities of their nations-in contrast to the past, when the region served only as an exotic locale for Western films that ignored local culture.
		Until now, the films of the Maghrib-as with Arab cinemas generally-have been largely relegated to what film critic Hala Salmane calls "the festival ghetto" in the United States, unable to penetrate the mainstream of America's Hollywood-dominated industry.
		The Maghrib has some 800 film theaters in a population of about 60 million, yet directors and critics alike decry the lack of a local market, which is flooded with foreign films.

		He emphasises the factors which led to the adoption of Islam by practically the entire population, the geographical position of the area, which made it the main trade link between the Mediterranean world and the Sudan and led to its involvement in the confrontation between the Christian and Islamic worlds.
		In Morocco, this confrontation led to the emergence of a distinct religio-political community ruled by sharifian dynasties and, in the rest of the Maghrib, to integration in the Ottoman empire.
		The political and economic developments of the ‘piratical’ regencies of Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, the establishment of European colonial rule, the nationalist movements and Islamic religious reform are all treated in detail.

	Islamtoday.Com - Combining Maghrib & `Ishâ’ in summer — extreme northern latitudes
		The scholars of the European Fatwa Council have unanimously decided that it is permissible to combine between these two prayers under current prevailing circumstances, since the time for the Maghrib prayer currently falls between nine-thirty and ten o’clock PM and the time for the `Ishâ’ prayer begins somewhere between eleven-thirty PM and twelve midnight.
		Accordingly, if the European Fatwa Council has ruled it to be permissible for people under such circumstances to combine between the Maghrib and `Ishâ’ prayers, then you may sit for a while after completing the combined prayers at Maghrib time, in the manner that you have described in your question.
		This is because if you had been obliged to go to sleep immediately after Maghrib, this would be itself a source of difficulty, and combining between two prayers is permitted for the express purpose of alleviating difficulty.
