Hamza al Qadiri al Boutchichi
Hamza al Qâdiri al Boutchichi was a murshid and the spiritual guide of the Qadiriyya Boutchichiyya Sufi order.
The Boutchichi branch of the order originated in the eighteenth century in northwest Morocco. Its main zaouia is found in the small village of Meddagh, near Berkane, but al-Boutchichi built another near Naima, in the province of Oujda. The disciples of al-Boutchichi regard him as the heir of the spiritual secret received from the prophet Muhammad through Abd al Qadir al-Jilani, as well as the spiritual pole of his time.
Al-Boutchichi died on January 18, 2017, at the age of 95.
