It states in the article that Ahmed ordered infrastructure to be destroyed however there was a reason for this, the Church specifically was used as a military garrison by the Ethiopians. Perhaps someone can find sources on that as Islamic law forbids destruction of buildings for no apparent reason.

@
Magherbin Well he did destroy numerous Christian buildings. That is a fact. But if you do find a source stating that the churches were used as a military garrison (which actually might be accurate considering that Dawit and his predecessor camped around these sites to oversee their construction) then you can add them.

The subject appears to be linked with the
Ba 'Alawiyya order, I remember reading an article about this published by a university which appeared on google searches. I am unable to locate it now however if editors do find it please include it in the article. Thanks.

I'm sorry but no. His name was Imam Ahmad al-Ghazi. That was the sole title he was referred to by authors such as Richard Pankhurst, J.Spencer Trimmingham, Paul B. Henze and virtually every single secondary source. These are known experts in this field, not some random Arabic primary sources you've found. Per
WP:PRIMARY "Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so."

1. Firstly تاريخ شحر في القرن العاشر is a secondary source,
2. Secondly The first source is the Futuh Al Habesha anotated by Pankhurst himself and I’m not making an interpretation of the primary source I am literally saying exactly what it says
3. Thirdly, I'm not sure how well your reading comprehension is but I never said his name was Al Mujahid or that Al Mujahid was a part of his name I said that Al Mujahid was one of his titles as historical figures can have multiple titles. Unless any of those authors you list state that “Imam” was his only title then my source doesn’t contradict those authors.

His proper honorific was the "Imam", this is what the primary sources and secondary sources universally refer to him as, there is no need to add on to this. Per
MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE, as infoboxes are just a brief summary of the article; they are not for every little fact. A single passing mention in the Futuh is insufficient to justify inclusion.

Nope, that's not sufficient enough, you added a
WP:PRIMARY source again. I suggest you stop edit warring (as you appear to do on multiple pages). His sole honorific was just the "Imam", and until you find a reliable secondary source stating otherwise then stop bringing back those edits.

I literally sent you تاريخ شحر as a secondary source

Try using some proper scholarship on the topic.

I was initially referring to the
WP:SCHOLARSHIP (you didn't provide specific quotes, page numbers, and authors so I doubted its reliability.) But I just spent the past half an hour or so reading this book and I'm pretty confident your assertions have absolutely no grounds in the sources. On page 187 the author refers to him as "Imam Mujahid", on page 298 the author refers to him as "Imam Ahmad" and on page 306 the authors calls him "Imam al-Mujahid". So even your own sources gives him the honorific of the Imam. Yet on this edit
[1] you claimed that Arab Faqih gave him the title of Amir al-Mu'minin and al-Mujahid which is absolutely preposterous. Your assertion that these were his titles is based on nothing. Absolutely nothing except for your own original research. The sources disagree with you.
