Abu Mohammed Abdallah al-Ghazwani (Arabic: أبو محمد عبد الله الغزواني) (died in 1529) was a Sufi saint from Morocco in the tradition of al-Jazuli and ash-Shadhili. He was the successor of Abdelaziz al-Tebaa. Some two hundred years after his death he became one of the Sabaatou rijales, the seven saints of Marrakesh. Abdallah al-Ghazwani wrote on the idea of the Tariqa Muhammadiyya.[1] Al-Ghazwani was also renowned for his skill in sinking wells and constructing channels.[2]
