Rustamids

They established a powerful kingdom centered around the city of Tahert, serving as a political and religious authority in the region. The Rustamids played a key role in promoting Islam and engaging in trade, culture, and military endeavors. Their reign helped shape the history of North Africa during the early Islamic period, laying foundations for subsequent empires. Overall, they were influential in integrating Berber culture into the broader Islamic civilization.
