A Sufi building in Jerusalem established by the Ottoman governor Muhammad Pasha in 1633. Located in Jerusalem’s Old City, on the northern side of Tariq Barquq, between Bab al-Ghawanima and Tariq al-Wad, this zawiya hosts gatherings of dhikr.
It is also known as Zawiyat al-Qadiriyya, after the Sufi sheikh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (d. 1156), founder of the Qadiriyya Sufi order. The zawiya, however, is not exclusive to Qadiris, and members of different Sufi orders attend gatherings there.
For the last few decades, Jerusalem-based Afghans have been living there and managing the building. It is largely financed by the waqf set up by Muhammad Pasha in the 17th century.
