Image Buzidi.jpg thumb Al Yazid al Buzidi Bujrafi born 1925 is a prominent Moroccan Sufi poet and shaykh of the Darqawa Alawi Darqawi order, a branch of the Shadhili order. He lives at his Zawiya in Zaghanghan, Nador. Biography He was born as al Yazid Bujrafi in Bani Shikar, in the Rif region of North East Morocco, in 1925. He memorised the Quran under the tutelage of his father, who in 1934 took the 19 year old al Yazid to Sidi Muhammadi Bil Hajj, Sheikh of the Alawi order, to take the litanies of the order from him. Sheikh Muhammadi instructed al Yazid to continue his spiritual instruction under Sheikh Moulay Suleiman ibn al Mahdi, also of Bani Shikar, whom al Yazid maintained a close relationship with until his death in 1970, marrying his daughter and serving as Imam in his Zawiya. It was Moulay Suleiman who changed al Yazid s name to al Buzidi, in reference to two great masters of the Darqawi brotherhood, Muhammad al Buzidi al Ghimari, disciple of Moulay al Arabi al Darqawi and Muhammad ibn al Habib Hamu al Buzidi, Sheikh of Ahmad al Alawi, founder of the Alawi order. Following Moulay Suleiman s death in 1970, Sheikh al Buzidi assumed leadership of the brotherhood in Morocco, and shortly afterwards established a new Zawiya in Zaghanghan, Nador, which remains the head Zawiya of the brotherhood in Morocco to his day.
