Moulay Al-Rashid ibn Sharif (Arabic: مولاي الرشيد بن شريف), known as Moulay Al-Rashid or Moulay Rachid (also spelt Mulay, Mulai or Mawlay; b. 1631 – d. 9 April 1672) (Arabic: مولاي الرشيد), was Sultan of Morocco from 1666 to 1672. He was the son of the founder of the 'Alawi dynasty, Moulay Sharif, who took power in the Tafilalt region in 1631. In 1635 Moulay Rashid's half-brother Sidi Mohammed succeeded their still-living father. During his reign, Sidi Mohammed brought Tafilalt, the Draa River valley, Oujda and the Eastern Sahara region under 'Alawi rule. However, due to internal feuding, war broke out between the brothers and Sidi Mohammed was killed on the battlefield by troops of Moulay Rashid on 2 August 1664. From then on Moulay Rashid became Sultan of Tafilalt and went on to conquer Taza and assert power in Sijilmasa, capital of Tafilalt. He then became the first 'Alawi sultan of Morocco. He ended the rule of the Dilaites, a Berber movement which ruled the northern part of Morocco. After subjugating the northern coastal areas of Morocco, he also succeeded in capturing Marrakesh in 1669. He occupied the Sous and the Anti-Atlas, which solidified 'Alawi control over the entirety of Morocco except for the wild High Atlas Mountains. He re-subdued the Emirate of Tuat after their rebellion following the death of Sultan Muhammad ibn Sharif who conquered it in 1652.
