Presentation
Sidi Abderrahman established in the Casbah of Algiers this zawiya in 1460 CE, according to the Qadiriya tariqa, in order to recommend the murids and the saliks.[3][4]
When he died during the year 1471 CE, corresponding to the year 875 AH, he was buried in a room inside his corner.[5][6]
A mausoleum of his own was built immediately after his death to protect his grave from any damage resulting from the influx of visitors, the blessed and the supplicants.[7][8]
