Ha-Mim (Arabic:حا میم) is the short form of the nameHa-Mim ibn Mann-Allah ibn Harir ibn Umar ibn Rahfu ibn Azerwal ibn Majkasa (Arabic:أبا محمد حاميم بن من الله بن حرير بن عمر بن رحفو بن أزروال بن مجكسة), also known asAbu Muhammad; he was a member of the Majkasa sub-tribe of theGhomaraBerbers who proclaimed himself a prophet in 925 nearTetouan inMorocco. He was named after a well-known combination ofQur'anic initial letters.[1]
His claim was widely accepted among the Ghomara of the time, and he established rules for them. He said that he received arevelation in theBerber language, portions of which historianIbn Khaldun quotes in Arabic: "O You who are beyond sight, who watches the world, release me from my sins! O You who savedMoses from the sea, You believe in Ha-Mim and in his father Abu-Khalaf Mann Allah..."
He died in 927 fighting theMasmuda Berbers nearTangier, and was succeeded politically by his son Isa, who sent an embassy to theUmayyadCaliphAbd-ar-rahman III an-Nasir. His religion's later history is unclear, but it vanished well before even Ibn Khaldun's time.
