الشيخ إبراهيم التازي و زاويته بمدينة وهران خلال القرن التاسع الهجري 15م

Abstract EN

This study seeks to investigate in a model of Sufi architecture in the eighth and ninth centuries AH / 14-15 AD, where the Sufi phenomenon emerged clearly in the Islamic Maghreb during the medieval era.

Indeed, the Sufi sheikhs had a prominent influence on the political, economic, social and cultural conditions, and this is through the Zawiya Foundation, whose spread increased with the growth of the Sufi movement in the Maghreb, beginning in the sixth century AH.

In the eighth and ninth centuries AH, the Central Maghreb witnessed the proliferation of the Zawiya Foundation in the urban areas and in the countryside, whether thanks to Sufi sheikhs or with the support and funding of the Zayan sultans, so that its profound impact appeared in the religious, scientific, intellectual, social and economic fields.

Among these zawiyas that emerged in the Zayani era is the zawiya al-Tazia, which was founded by the Sufi Sheikh Ibrahim al-Tazi in the city of Oran.

Accordingly, this research will attempt to reveal the historical course of this Zawiya, while tracing the conditions of its establishment, its functions, its urban architecture, its structural organization, and its sources of funding.
