Tariqa Inheritors

Sidi Hajj Muhammad is the son of the esteemed ʿĀrif Billāh, Sheikh Muhammad Bel-Qurshi bin Hassani bin Ahmad bin Bouziane al-Idrissi. He was born in 1944 in Tourug, Errachidia, Morocco.  

Raised in the Zawiya of Tourug, he grew up in an environment rich in knowledge and spiritual refinement, as his father was among the most devoted companions and Muqaddams of Sidi Muhammad ibn al-Habib. Under the guidance of the renowned jurist Muhammad ibn al-Maki al-ʿAlawi of Tizguirine, he memorized the Qur’an at a young age.  

He accompanied his father to Sidi Muhammad ibn al-Haabib, where he sought spiritual guidance and formed a blessed connection that allowed him to receive the Noble Wird directly. After the passing of the Sheikh, he renewed his allegiance with his father, who served as the Khalifa of the Habibiya Tariqa.  

Today, Sidi Hajj Muhammad continues to faithfully oversee the affairs of the Habibiya Tariqa, supported by the grace and blessings of Allah. May Allah preserve his life and grant him abundant reward.

Hajj Muhammad al-Ghawth was born in 1944 in Khenifra, Morocco, into a blessed household with a rich Islamic lineage. His father served as a Muqaddam of Sheikh Muhammad ibn al-Habib during the Sheikh’s lifetime, positioning Hajj Muhammad at an early age within the heart of the Habibiya Tariqa tradition.

As a young child, he dedicated himself to studying in the mosques, immersing himself in the memorization of the Noble Qur’an. His formal education began in primary school in Azrou, continued through secondary school in Khenifra, and advanced to higher studies at Moulay Ismail High School in Meknes. He completed his baccalaureate in Rabat, focusing on Arabic, French, and English.

In 1970, following a visionary indication from Sheikh Sidi Muhammad ibn al-Habib, Hajj Muhammad was entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the noble Zawiya. That same year, he had the honor of accompanying the Sheikh on his third and final journey for Hajj. Along the way, Sheikh Muhammad ibn al-Habib peacefully returned to his Lord. Fulfilling the Sheikh’s wishes with utmost care and devotion, Hajj Muhammad ensured that he was laid to rest in the Zawiya.

May Allah bless the guardian of the Zawiya, prolong his life, and allow the community to continue benefiting from his spiritual guidance and wisdom.

Sidi Hajj Bashir ibn Ismail comes from an esteemed Islamic lineage, tracing back to the Wali and Faqih, Abdul Rahman Al-Faqiqi. His ancestry originates from the region of Faqiq in Morocco, later settling in Laghouat. He is connected to the noble Prophet through the Idrissi lineage.

Born in 1946 in the city of Laghouat, Sidi Hajj Al-Bashir dedicated many years to teaching the Arabic language. He had the honor of serving Sheikh Muhammad ibn al-Habib's appointed Muqaddam, Sidi Hajj Ali bin Manad, from whom he took the Habibiya Tariqa, becoming one of his closest mureeds.

After the passing of Sidi Hajj Ali bin Manad in 1991, Sidi Hajj Bashir took on the role of Muqaddam of the Tariqa and received the allegiance of the fuqara in Laghouat.

To this day, he remains the devoted Muqaddam of the Habibiya Tariqa. Sidi Hajj Bashir is celebrated for his humility, compassion, generosity, and profound love for the Fuqarah. His primary focus is on providing spiritual guidance and promoting the Habibiya Tariqa, overseeing the beautiful Zawiya Habibiya in Laghouat.

We pray to Allah to grant him and us success in all endeavors. May he continue to spread light and blessings as the Muqaddam, guiding the Fuqarah and nurturing their connection with Allah.
