Sidi Rahal Al-Boudali
He is Abu Al-Azm Sidi Rahal Al-Badali Al-Samlali Al-Tamdolti Al-Soussi originally, in reference to the extinct city of Tamdolt Al-Soussi, and he is called locally Bouya Rahal, and he is attributed to the Al-Sharaf Al-Hassani according to the following lineage: He is Rahal bin Ahmed bin Al-Hassan bin Al-Qadi Abdul-Wasie bin Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Sufyan bin Jaber bin Ali bin Suleiman (brother of Imam Idris I) bin Abdullah Al-Kamil Al-Hassani Al-Alawi
His early ancestors lived in Tamdoult in the southeast of Sous, then some of them moved to the Idaousmlal tribe, and from there to the city of Marrakesh. In this city, Sidi Rahal was born in 890 AH / 15 AD, and grew up and studied there.
knowledge, his soul longed to follow the path of his peers, so he joined the zawiya of Sheikh Abdulaziz al-Tabbaa in Marrakesh (died in 914 AH / 1509 AD) and became one of his special followers and disciples, along with his colleagues Sidi Abdullah al-Ghazwani, Sidi Abdel Karim al-Falah, and Sidi Said bin Abdel-Moneim al-Hahi. He is therefore a Jazuli of the Sufi order and of the second class in it, as there is only one intermediary between him and the founder of the order, Sheikh Sidi Muhammad bin Suleiman al-Jazuli. Rather, Sidi Rahhal is considered one of the pioneers of this order and its first great poles, in asceticism, fame, and many followers, and the position of pole leadership in the Jazuli order, succeeding his Sheikh Abdulaziz al-Ba’a, the inheritor of the state of Sheikh al-Jazuli

Sufi saints or wali (Arabic: ولي, plural ʾawliyāʾ أولياء) played an instrumental and foregrounding role in spreading Islam throughout the world.[1] In the traditional Islamic view, a saint is portrayed as someone "marked by [special] divine favor ... [and] holiness", and who is specifically "chosen by God and endowed with exceptional gifts, such as the ability to work miracles."[2]
