Abstract

The city of Granada is one of the cities of Andalusia and its kingdoms, which played a major role in the number of the end of strife and the formation of the states of sects, and the location of the city of Granada had a distinguished role in shaping its history during that era, so it was the capital of the State of Islam in Andalusia and its gate towards the Andalusian outposts, alternated to rule by Banu Ziri, who tried to restore the glories of Muslims in Andalusia through their state.Zawy bin Ziri is the leader of Banu Ziri in that period, as he is credited with establishing the state of Bani Ziri in Andalusia for his sacrifices for the purpose of achieving his goal, and when things stabilized, he returned to Morocco and lived his last days there, leaving the king.Then he took over the rule of one of the most famous kings of Granada, a prince (Badis bin Habous) has expanded in the era of the Zirid state to become a big matter, and despite the firmness of Badis and severity, but it is reproached by bringing it closer to the Jews, making them ministers as well as their involvement in governance, and they have worked to manage intrigue to the extent that they killed the Crown Prince (Belkin bin Badis).The rule was taken over after him by his grandson Prince (Abdullah bin Belkin) as the state of Bani Ziri fell during his reign at the hands of the Prince of Muslims and Almoravids Abu Yaqoub (Yusuf bin Tashfin) has descended Ibn Belkin from power and exiled him to the Maghreb in the city of Aghmat to live what he spent his life there.The importance of such research lies in the fact that it focuses on the stage of establishment and civilizational development of the Kingdom, although the subject was addressed by more than one researcher partially, but this research provided a comprehensive vision of the geographical subject of the region, naming it and highlighting its rulers.
