<< Hargha, Hintata, Tinmel, Gedmiwa, Genfissa, Urika, Hazraga >> ====== E. Lévi-Provençal records among the Hargha a ribât which Ibn Tūmart had built, and gives its name as Iguiliz (means " mountain peak " in Tamazight), it was known as place of pilgrimage by Ibn Tūmart's followers during Almohad rule.

After the recognition of Ibn Tūmart by the Hargha, the Almoravids tried to seize the Mahdi while he was in Igiliz, by taking the tribe from the rear, but their attempt failed (1122), After a second attempt by the Almoravids against igiliz in 1123, Ibn Tūmart finally abandoned his ribât in order to settle at Tinmel which he made the capital bastion of his movement circa 1124. hence Igiliz was no more than a place of pilgrimage which the Almohad caliphs visited from time to time.
