Saadi Dynasty
Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAA : Saadi Dynasty
The Saadi, Arabic Saˤdī (or Saadite Saadian) in Morocco and Spain began with the reign of Sultan Mohammed I in 1554 and ended in 1659 with the end of the reign of Sultan Ahmad II.
The Saˤdī family claimed descent from the Islamic prophet Muhammad through the line of ˤAlī ibn Abī-Tālib and Fatima Zahra (Muhammad's daughter). The Saˤdī claimed sharifian origins and rendered Sufism publicly respectable in Morocco.
