The Great Tijaniyya Zawiya in Fez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Tijaniyya Zawiya in Fez (الزاوية التيجانية الكبرى بفاس) is a Sufi zawiya, mosque, and Sufi religious landmark located in the city of Fez, Morocco, in the neighborhood of Humat al-Dardas, currently known as Al-Balida.[1] It is considered one of the main centers of the Tijaniyya order, founded by Abu al-Abbas Ahmad al-Tijani in the late 18th century. The zawiya houses the tomb of Abu al-Abbas al-Tijani, which is a pilgrimage site for followers of the order during the period of Mawlid al-Nabi from all over the world, including Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and Sub-Saharan Africa, especially Senegal.[2][3] Since 2007, the zawiya has periodically hosted an international forum for the Tijaniyya order, which in 2014 included Sufis affiliated with the order from 47 countries.[4]
