Sharifism
Sharifism was the system in pre-colonial Morocco in which the ''shurafā—descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (through his grandson Hasan ibn Ali, in the case of Morocco)—held a privileged religious and political position in society. Those who claimed this lineage were regarded as a kind of nobility and were privileged, in the words of Sahar Bazzaz, "as political agents, as interlocutors between various sectors of society, and as would be dynasts of Morocco". They were additionally believed to possess ''baraka'', or blessing power. Claiming this lineage also served to justify authority; the Idrisi dynasty (788–974), the Saadi dynasty (1510–1659), and the 'Alawi dynasty (1631–present) all claimed lineage from Ahl al-Bayt. History The ''shurafā surfaced in the Marinid period as a loosely defined group with social and political privilege, gaining political prestige through their involvement in the jihad resistance to Iberian Catholic invasions in the 15th cen ...
