A strong relationship between “Bodhichi and Moroccan kings”
Sheikh Hamza al-Qadiri Boudshishi, the sheikh of the Sufis of Morocco and the sheikh of the Qadiriyya al-Budshishiyya order, had a strong relationship with the Alawite family that ruled the Maghreb countries. The kings of Morocco always viewed this order as a national Sufi order par excellence, as all its disciples love their country and are loyal to their homeland, and sacrifice precious and precious things in sacrifice for the Alawite throne. The glorious disciples of this order came out in support of the king on more than one occasion or demonstration.

“The Qadiriyya al-Budshishiyya” is a Sufi order that crosses continents
The Qadiriya Budhishiya order is a transcontinental Moroccan Sufi order, as it moved from the continent of Africa to other continents of the world such as “Europe, Asia, America and Australia,” which made it acquire a global character. Its headquarters are located in the village of Madagh in the Berkane province of eastern Morocco in the Beni Yaznassen Kabylie region. Budhishiya is affiliated with the Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani, who appeared in the fifth century AH. As for the title of Budshisha, he acquired it through Sheikh Ali bin Muhammad, who bore the title “Sidi Ali Budshisha” because he used to feed people in times of famine – food from the dishisha – in his corner.
Among the sheikhs of the Qadiriyya al-Budshishiyya order in Morocco are Sheikh Sidi al-Mukhtar ibn Muhyiddin (d. 1914) and Sheikh Sidi Abu Madin ibn al-Munawar (d. 1955). He is the one who brought the method out of its blessed stage into educational behavior, and he obtained permission for education, which he obtained after arduous spiritual research and struggle.
After him, this educational function was continued by Sidi Hajj Al-Abbas, then his son Sidi Hamza and Sidi Jamal, as they were considered the spiritual heirs of Sidi Abi Madian. They worked to renew the method and it spread widely.
Before the death of Sidi Abi Madian in 1955, he informed Sidi Al-Abbas that he was the heir of his secret. The latter was an example of humility and self-denial. He did not announce this matter, and he continued his service to the path for years, until he was forced to undertake the tasks and requirements of the sheikhdom.
Sidi Hamza Ibn Al-Abbas was qualified and authorized by Sidi Abi Medin to carry out the tasks of education and guidance, as confirmed by his father, Sidi Al-Abbas. However, he remained a disciple of his father, being polite to him and complying with his advice to hide the matter until the time came, and after the death of Sidi al-Abbas in 1972, Sidi Hamza became the sheikh of the order, the educator, as stipulated in the written will of Sidi al-Abbas and signed by the senior sheikhs of the order at that time.
