Muhammad al-Shaykh

Saadian dynasty Sultan of Morocco (1490-1557) · Politicians · Died at 67

Mawlay Mohammed al-Shaykh al-Sharif al-Hassani, known as Mohammed al-Shaykh, was the first sultan of the Saadian dynasty (1544-1557). He was particularly successful in expelling the Portuguese from most of their bases in present-day Morocco. He also eliminated the Wattasids and resisted the Ottomans.

Muhammad al-Shaykh is read about 54 times a day, in 21 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 22 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
