Berber nomads were exposed to Islam during the spread of the religion across North Africa starting in the 7th century. Many Berber tribes eventually converted to Islam, with some resistance and conflicts along the way. The process of Islamization among the Berber nomads varied depending on the region and historical context.
Berbers spread Islam through conquest and trade, particularly during the Arab conquests in the 7th and 8th centuries. The spread of Islam was also facilitated by the intermingling of Arab and Berber populations in North Africa, leading to the conversion of many Berbers to Islam. Additionally, the establishment of Muslim states in the region helped solidify the presence of Islam among the Berber communities.
Berbers are native to North Africa mainly Libya. Till today they are living in North Western Libya at the Nafusa mountains. Their language remains intact and they live separately from the rest of the Libyan population. There are also some Berber people living in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. The dialect of Berber people contains some Arabic as well as the Arabic language being spoken by Berber people besides the Berber language itself due to the spread of Islam to these regions.
The two successive Berber Dynasties of Morocco were the Almoravids (المرابطون) and the Almohads (الموَحدون) controlled the entirety of Morocco and ruled it as Islamic Dynasties.However, the dynasty that united Morocco under Islamic Rule was the Arab Umayyads. The first Islamic Moroccan Kingdom was the Arab Idrissids (الأدارسة). Not soon after the foundation of the Idrissid Caliphate, a small Berber region of Tamesna revolted an established the Barghawata Emirate (إمارة بورغواطة). While this was the first Berber Kingdom in Morocco, it never unified Morocco.
Some Berbers resisted the Arab conquest, while others collaborated with the Arab rulers. Over time, many converted to Islam and integrated into Arab society, while others maintained their distinct Berber identity and cultural practices.
The Berbers played key role in establishing Muslim Cailiphate in Spain by helping Abdul Rahman-1, the young Umayyad prince who escaped from the Abbasids. The Berbers were the Maternal Uncles of Abdul Rahman.
