Abstract

This research aims to talk about the circumstances of the Almoravid prince Yusuf bin Tashfin’s passport to Andalusia four times starting in the year 479 AH/1086 AD, by mentioning the reasons and results that resulted from each crossing of this important geographical area.

In it, we address the following problem: Was Prince Yusuf able, during his repeated crossings to Andalusia, to stop the Crusader advance on Muslim lands? In this research, we discuss Prince Yusuf’s crossing of Andalusia four times, in which we mention the circumstances of the passport, its reasons, the most important actions he undertook in this country, and the results that resulted from each crossing.

Many results were achieved, the most important of which was the success of Prince Yusuf bin Tashfin in confronting the wars of reconquest in Andalusia, and in organizing his political and administrative affairs.
