Biography

He was born in 1878 to a modest family from a rural area called as-Sadiqat (دوار الصديقات) near al-Gharbiya in Dukkala.[1] His family was affiliated with the Darqawi Sufi order and studied Ibn Ata Allah al-Iskandari's Al-Ḥikam al-Aṭāʾiya .[1]

He studied at Al-Azhar University in Cairo[3]: 46  and lectured at Al-Azhar and at az-Zaytuna in Tunis.[5]

Among his students were Muhammad al-Mukhtar as-Susi[5] and Mohammed Belarbi Alaoui. He headed the program of study in the royal palace under Sultans Abd al-Hafid, Yusuf, and Muhammad V.[5]

He was among a number of Moroccan scholars—including Allal al-Fassi, Muhammad al-Mukhtar as-Susi, and Muhammad Bin al-Arabi al-Alaoui—that led a nationalist, reformist Salafi movement that was intellectually affiliated with the Moroccan Nationalist Movement opposed to French colonialism.[6]
