The Inviolable Lineage: Ahl al-Bayt, Sharīfian Authority, and the Architecture of Moroccan Holiness
Why does prophetic lineage outrank scholarly excellence in Moroccan Islam — and what happens to a civilization that forgets the difference?

The Wasiyya That Was Never Written — and What Al-Dabbāgh Saw in Its Place
Ibn ʿAbbās called it the greatest of calamities. A Ḥasanī sharīf in eighteenth-century Fez names it from direct vision — and his compiler writes it down, argues against half of it, and cannot suppress any of it. Al-Ibrīz is the most canonical text of Moroccan Sufism and its most conflicted.
