Zawiya of Sidi Muhammad Ben Sliman al-Jazuli

About

The Zawiya of Sidi Muhammad Ben Sliman al-Jazuli is a zawiya (Islamic Sufi religious complex) in Marrakesh, Morocco. It is centered around the tomb of Muhammad al-Jazuli, a 15th-century Muslim scholar and Sufi saint who is one of the Seven Saints of Marrakesh.

The complex was established around 1523–4, when the Saadian ruler Ahmad al-'Araj transferred al-Jazuli's body here. It was subsequently restored and modified in later periods. The complex consists mainly of a mosque and a mausoleum chamber, with other smaller elements including an ablutions facility, a street fountain, a hospice, a residence, and a school room. A small cemetery next to the complex contains the tombs of Ahmad al-'Araj and other members of his family.
