The impact of the crescent migration of Arabs to the Maghreb on the economic and social aspects

Abstract

This study attempts to reveal the effects left by the crescent men who migrated to
the Middle Maghreb, despite the exaggeration of many Orientalist and Arab studies on the
devastation it has left on the economic and social structure, while we see that the
jurisprudential texts have dealt with this phenomenon in some cases harsh and soft in some
periods , Resulting in their integration into the social system of the Islamic Maghreb, and
formed part of the Moroccan society revealed by many sources later.
The tribes also negatively affected the construction of the Central Maghreb,
especially in the early stages of migration from looting and banditry, and it was negatively
reflected on the roads and commercial routes. Fear spread within the civil and rural
communities, the impact of this on agriculture, and in that they took control of the suburbs,
the countryside and the areas, which led to the gradual withdrawal of the barbarian
population from them towards the fortified cities and taking shelter in the castles and
mountains and settling in them, in addition to shrinking a lot of the lands of the inhabitants
of the Central Maghreb, and they only had what was left in their hands The city walls and
fortresses throughout the history of the Middle East in the Islamic Maghreb. This affected the
economic and social life. These conditions helped the Hilal groups to settle and settle, and to
re-establish commercial relations between the inhabitants of fortified cities, mountains, and
Hilal groups. We note this through what was written in Journey Books and Geography about
the parameters of stability and coexistence.
Therefore, we saw that we address these events according to what the sources wrote,
searching for the historical truth that was subjected to the ruin of economic cities, and
coming up with fair results about semicircular migration.
