Abu Mohammed Abdallah al-Ghazwani (died 1529) was a Sufi saint from Morocco in the tradition of al-Jazuli and ash-Shadhili. He was the successor of Abdelaziz al-Tebaa. Some two hundred years after his death he became one of the Sabaatou rijales, the seven saints of Marrakesh, an institution founded by al-Yusi at the instigation of sultan Moulay Ismael (1672-1727).
Abdallah al-Ghazwani wrote on the idea of the Tariqa Muhammadiyya. Al-Ghazwani combined Ibn Arabi’s and al-Jili’s ideas of the saint’s absorption (or annihilation) in the Muhammadan essence (dhat) with an emphasis on the necessity of the saint’s involvement in society. Al-Ghazwani was also renowned for his skill in sinking wells and constructing channels.
