About this person
Aḥmad al-Badawī, also known as al-Sayyid al-Badawī, was a 13th-century Arab Sufi Muslim mystic who became famous as the founder of the Badawiyyah order of Sufism. Born in Fes, Morocco to a Bedouin tribe originally from the Syrian Desert, al-Badawi eventually settled for good in Tanta, Egypt in 1236, where he developed a posthumous reputation as "one of the greatest saints in the Arab world". As al-Badawi is perhaps "the most popular of Sufi saints in Egypt", his tomb has remained a "major site of visitation" for Sufis in the region.
