Before Moulay Ismail built Meknes and commanded the Black Guard, he needed a power base. That base was the Alaouite Zawiya in Tafilalt, a religious and military compound founded by his ancestor Moulay Ali Cherif. This episode traces how the Alaouite sultans used the zawiya as a spiritual anchor, a recruiting ground, and a launching pad for their empire. We explore the role of the shurafa (descendants of the Prophet), the zawiya's self-sufficient economy based on date palms and trade, and how the Saharan frontier shaped the dynasty's identity. Along the way, we meet Moulay Rashid, the brother who first conquered Marrakech in 1666, and Moulay Ismail himself, who turned the zawiya into a tool of centralization. The episode also examines the tension between the zawiya's religious roots and the makhzen's later imperial ambitions, and how Tafilalt—a remote oasis—became the cradle of Morocco's longest-ruling dynasty. #Alaouite #Zawiya #MoulayIsmail #Tafilalt #MoulayAliCherif #MoulayRashid #Shurafa #Sijilmasa #Makhzen #BlackGuard #MoroccoHistory #NorthAfrica #Sahara #DatePalms #Marrakech #Meknes #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
