Ahmad Zarruq also known as Imam az-Zarrūq ash Shadhili was a 15th-century Moroccan Shadhili Sufi, jurist and saint from Fes. He is considered one of the most prominent and accomplished legal, theoretical, and spiritual scholars in Islamic history, and is thought by some to have been the renewer of his time (mujaddid). He was also the first to be given the honorific title "Regulator of the Scholars and Saints". His shrine is located in Misrata, Libya, however unknown militants exhumed the grave and burnt half the mosque.
