Overview
Ibrahim ibn Ali al-Marini, titled Abu Salim al-Mawla, one of the sultans of the Marinid state. He came after his brother Abu Inan. 1
The road to power
Ibn Khaldun relates that when Abu Inan died, he hoped for his brother's kingdom and asked Ridwan, lord of Granada, for passage, but Ridwan refused. He then turned to the king of Castile, who ferried him in his fleet to the Maghrib. 1
When Marrakesh refused him, he threw himself on the land of the Ghumara, whose tribes took him in and gave him the allegiance to the death. He took Ceuta and Tangier. 1
He entered the new capital in the middle of Sha'ban 760 AH, killed Mansur ibn Sulayman, and appointed Mas'ud ibn Masai as vizier. 1
