Aÿazzu MàYuá¹Âlab (), also known as al-ÿAqëda (, ), is a 12th-century book containing the teachings of Ibn Tumart, self-proclaimed mahdi and founder of the Almohad Caliphate. According to the text of the book itself, it was compiled by a scribe to whom Abd al-Mu'min dictated his notes from Ibn Tumart's teachings.
Aÿazzu MàYuá¹Âlab contains a variety of topics, commentaries, summaries, and essays representing the foundation Ibn Tumart's movement. It deals with hadith, fiqh, usà «l ad-din, tawhid, politics, jihad, calls for reform, and promoting beneficence and discouraging maleficence.
At the basis of Ibn Tumart's message and teachings is the concept of "tawhid," from which the Almohads got their name: al-muwaḥḥidà «n ().
al-ÿAqëda was translated into Latin by the deacon Mark of Toledo in 606/1209âÂÂ10, after Almohad military successes in al-Andalus, especially the Battle of Alarcos.
The Hungarian Orientalist Ignác Goldziher studied the book and published an introduction to it in 1903 (please note, however, that this work was not a French translation of Ibn Tumart's E'az Ma Yutlab) .
The original text is preserved in two manuscript copies, dated 579/1183 and 595/1199.
