Ha-Mim (Arabic: حا میم) is the short type of the name Ha-Mim ibn Mann-Allah ibn Harir ibn Umar ibn Rahfu ibn Azerwal ibn Majkasa, otherwise called Abu Muhammad; he was an individual from the Majkasa sub-clan of the Ghomara Berbers who broadcasted himself a prophet in 925 close Tetouan in Morocco. He was named after a notable blend of Qur'anic introductory letters.[1]
His case was generally acknowledged among the Ghomara of the time, and he built up rules for them. He said that he got a disclosure in the Berber language, bits of which antiquarian Ibn Khaldun cites in Arabic: "O You who are past sight, who watches the world, discharge me from my transgressions! O You who spared Moses from the ocean, You have confidence in Ha-Mim and in his dad Abu-Khalaf Mann Allah..."
He passed on in 927 battling the Masmuda Berbers close to Tangier, and was succeeded politically by his child Isa, who sent an international safe haven to the Umayyad Caliph Abd-ar-rahman III a Nasir. His religion's later history is hazy, however it disappeared a long time before even Ibn Khaldun's time.
