Abu Abdallah Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Qaim bi-Amr Allah,[1] (Arabic: القائم بأمر الله السعدي) often shortened to Abu Abdallah al-Qa'im[2] or Muhammad al-Qa'im,[3][4] was the first political leader of the Saadi Dynasty of Morocco. He ruled the Sous and other parts of southern Morocco from 1510 to 1517, setting the stage for his sons to lead the dynasty to power over the rest of Morocco in the decades after his death.[4][1]
