الخلاصة:
During the period of Muhammad al-Sheikh al-Saadi, Morocco witnessed
conflicts and opposing movements that prevented him from achieving his goal
of expanding the areas of his influence and controlling Morocco politically and
militarily However, these movements opposing his rule caused him great
problems that led to the instability of his rule and confronted him militarily, like
movement of Abu Hassoun Al-Wattassi, supported by the Ottoman Turks in
Algeria, and the movement of the Atlas Mountains tribes that rebelled against
him and launched revolts against him, then the scholars and jurists objected, and
they did not recognize his rule and did not offer him the pledge of allegiance,
which prompted him to abuse them, such as the jurists Abdul Wahhab Al-Zqaq,
Abdul Wahid Al-Wahhab Al-Zuqaq and Abi Hassan Ali Harzouz Al-Meknasi,
and his conflict with the Ottoman Turks, who believed that they were not worthy
of the caliphate, considering them foreigners, the caliphate was not valid for
them, and he called their successor Sultan of “boats and sailors”, which led to
his assassination in 1557.
