Alongside those bright aspects of Almohad rule, we find some other aspects that may not align with religious standards, thus representing a discord in the general political and social life of the Almohads. However, it is not right to consider every bad thing that might occur in Almohad rule as a result of Ibn Tumart's influence, necessarily because that rule is a fruit of his call. This is because reform movements often witness deviations from the principles and ideas upon which they were founded after their founders, due to factors and circumstances outside the scope of those principles and ideas. Therefore, objectivity requires us in this regard to limit ourselves to mentioning those negative impacts in Almohad rule that are clearly attributable to a principle established by the Mahdi, an opinion he held, or a path he took, or something he did not guard against.

Although historical accounts of the Almohads, like other extinct states, have mixed truth with falsehood, and exaggeration against them by their opponents and those who took over their ruins has arisen, the researcher can discern features of real shortcomings and errors in governance that are linked to the shortcomings and errors in the Mahdi's call and his opinions.

Perhaps the most prominent of these shortcomings was the violence and cruelty of some Almohads in dealing with enemies, and the swift brutality towards those suspected of disloyalty among relatives, aides, and friends.

In this context, we can mention the widespread killing practiced by Abd al-Mu'min ibn Ali of the Murabits and their supporters as he advanced towards them in villages and cities, heading towards the capital Marrakech, driven by his longing for ultimate victory. Anyone who stood in his way, did not pledge allegiance to him, or had a bad past and did not show remorse and sincere loyalty, was crushed in a terrible manner, and he moved on to those behind him towards the capital.

Among the most terrifying of these scenes was the death of the last Murabit king, who was a boy who had not yet reached puberty. The number of those killed is unknown. He drowns in describing the battles and what followed. See: Al-Baydaq - Akhbar al-Mahdi: (62) 204
