Biography
Mohammed al-Hadi ben Issa was a distant descendant of Idris I of Morocco, and he came from the tribe of Awlad Abi Sebaa.[2] He spent most of his childhood as an orphan; his father and brothers fought against the Portuguese but were killed by their commander, Afonso V of Portugal.[3] In his teenage years, he was initiated into the Sufi order of Muhammad al-Jazuli, and lived on to succeed him in such matters.[2] He was a very patient and calm person as he grew older, with more reliance on his god.[3] He became a popularity amongst the people around him, and he took advantage of this to start his own Sufi order, the Isawiyya.[2] Mohammed al-Hadi ben Issa died in 1526, and he was buried in Meknes, where a shrine was established over his grave.[2][1]
