Skiredj Library of Tijani Studies
The esteemed scholar and judge Sidi Ahmed Skiredj, may God have mercy on him, left behind three children: Abdelkrim, Mohammed, and Mariam, each of whom made a unique impact and led a distinguished life.
1- Abdelkrim Ben Ahmed Skiredj: Known for his purity of heart, sincerity, and generosity, Abdelkrim had a jovial and straightforward nature, along with a dignified and respectable presence. Born in Fes in 1322 AH, he grew up moving through various cities in Morocco with his father, which provided him with a refined education in both Arabic and French, as well as a deep appreciation for art and calligraphy. He passed away in Casablanca in 1403 AH at the age of 81, leaving behind nine children.
2- Mohammed Ben Ahmed Skiredj: The scholar’s second son, born in Tetouan in 1329 AH, was raised by his grandfather, Zubair Skiredj, with whom he memorized the Quran and excelled in language studies. He later attended the medical school in Granada before returning to practice medicine in Tetouan. He authored several medical works, including “The Child” and “Diabetes.” He passed away in 1421 AH, leaving two sons.
3- Mariam Bint Ahmed Skiredj: The only daughter and youngest of the scholar’s children, she was born in El Jadida in 1346 AH. She married Mohammed Al-Kabir Glaoui and lived in Rabat until her passing in 1436 AH. Known for her piety and noble qualities, she was an example of a humble, generous woman devoted to Islamic teachings. She left behind five children.
These three children of the scholar Skiredj carried on their father’s legacy, upholding his values and traditions in the realms of scientific, literary, and social life.
