Abu Qurra, a member of the Sufrite tribe Banu Ifran of Tlemcen, was the founder of the indigenous Berber Muslim movement in North Africa in the first step of the Umayyad dynasty.[1] He is the founder of Kharidjism[citation needed]. Between 767 and 776, Abu Qurra organised an army of more than 350,000 riders in the north of Africa.[2] It is the first head of state of the Berber Muslim Maghreb. Ibn Khaldun described him in his book Kitab El Ibar.
