The desert taught me endurance before empires ever did. From the sands of the Sahara, I rose to unify tribes into the disciplined Almoravid movement, where ribāṭ and zuhd tempered sword and state. At Zallaqa, when Al-Andalus cried out, I crossed the sea and struck a blow that echoed across Christendom. Yet even in victory, I wore wool instead of silk, knowing kingship without humility is a curse. Ride with me through battlefields and prayer tents alike, where every step echoes with dhikr of Allah.
