'Īsāwī

The Īsāwī order was founded in Meknes by Muhammad al-Hadi ben Issa, who lived from 1465 to 1526. His teachers included followers of the Shadhili and Jazuli traditions, the latter associated with the Moroccan mystic Muhammad al-Jazuli, author of a widely used prayer book.

Ben Issa built his own mausoleum in his Meknes lodge. Some followers attributed the development of the order's trance ceremony to a seventeenth-century disciple, while others placed it in the eighteenth century.
