Opis

In 1894, on the eve of the French conquest of Morocco, Muhammad al-Kattani decided to abandon his life of asceticism to preach Islamic revival and jihad against the French. In 1909 he met a violent death at the hands of the same Moroccans he had empowered through his activism. This book narrates his story.
