Aissawa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aissawa or Aissawiyya (sometimes also spelled as Issawa or Issawiyya) are the members of a Moroccan Sufi order founded by Sidi Mohamed Ibn Issa Al-Maghrebi (born in Fes in 872 of the Hijri calendar and died in 1524 and buried in Meknes). The order has its origins in the order of the Jazouliyya, who in their turn have their origin in the Shadhiliyya. The Aissawa order is especially known for its use of vocal and instrumental music as paths to mystical enlightenment.
