لسان الدين بن الخطيب
Moroccan literature is written mostly in Arabic, Berber, Hebrew, and French. Particularly under the Almoravid and Almohad empires, Moroccan literature was closely related to the literature of al-Andalus, and shared important poetic and literary forms such as "zajal", the "muwashshah", and the "maqama". Islamic literature, such as Quranic exegeses and other religious works such as Qadi Ayyad's "Al-Shifa" were influential. The University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fes was an important literary center attracting scholars from abroad, including Maimonides, Ibn al-Khatib, and Ibn Khaldun.
