Editing Abd al-Mu'min (section)

== Final years ==

The Almohad empire was built by Abd al-Mu'min and effectively ruled by his family (known as the Mu'minids). This plus his ongoing military activity angered those who considered themselves the founders of the Almohad movement. These founders made an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Abd al-Mu'min in 1160.<ref name="books.google.co.uk">[https://books.google.com/books?id=CurSh3Sh_KMC&pg=PA6 Dictionary of World Biography: The Middle Ages]</ref>

Abd al-Mu'min returned from Al-Andalus to the Maghreb in 1162. Over the next year he stayed in Ribat al-Fath and began to gather troops within its walls with the intention of launching another expedition to Al-Andalus. However, he fell ill and, after long period of sickness, died there in May 1163 ([[Jumada al-Thani|Jumada II]] 558 [[Islamic calendar|AH]]).<ref name="EI2" /><ref name=":23" />{{Rp|90}} His body was transported to Tinmel, where he was buried, following a ceremony, next to Ibn Tumart in the religious complex (which was centred around the [[Tinmal Mosque|Great Mosque of Tinmel]]) he had built there years earlier. His son [[Abu Yaqub Yusuf|Abu Ya'qub Yusuf]] succeeded him.<ref name=":23" />
