Ahmed Ou Moussa

Sidi Ahmed Ou Moussa (; His name in Arabic manuscripts was given as Aḥmad ibn Mūsā al-Jazūlī al-Samlālī.) was a Moroccan Sufi saint and spiritual leader of Tazerwalt in the Sous region of Morocco. The date of his birth is unknown. His father was Sidi Musa u-Driss and his mother Lalla Tawnut. According to Soussi oral tradition, his ancestors came from Tamdoult n-Waqqa. He founded the Tazerwalt dynasty, and he established an Islamic zawiya, attracting hundreds of followers to his religious mystical teachings.

Sidi Ahmed maintained good relations with the ruling Saadian dynasty and was able to use his religious standing to carve out an enclave of power within the Saadian state. Following his death in 1563, his grave became a pilgrimage site, and his offspring inherited much of the wealth and status he had acquired as a spiritual leader. His descendant Bu-Dmia continued as the emir of Tazerwalt, a short-lived dynasty centered in Iligh before its fall to the Alaouites.

Since the early 20th century, his name has been associated with groups of acrobatic entertainers called Oulad Sidi Ahmed ou Moussa or Ayt Sidi Ḥmad u Musa, They are mentioned by George Borrow in The Zincali.
