History
Legend tells that Allal al-Qairawani was a trader who came from Qairawan to Anfa (Casablanca) around 1350 during the reign of the Marinid Sultan Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Othman and settled to do business along with his wife or daughter "Lalla Baida" (White Lady).{{Cite book|first=André|last=Adam|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/479295174|title=Histoire de Casablanca '(des origines à 1914) '.|date=1969|publisher=Ophrys|pages=67|oclc=479295174}} The Mausoleum of Allal al-Qairawani is considered the oldest of the zawiyas of Casablanca, as those such as that of Sidi Belyout are much more recent.
The Mausoleum of Allal al-Qairawani was renovated in 2016, after which King Muhammad VI made a visit.{{Cite web|date=2020-12-27|title=الاهتمام المغربي بالتراث اليهودي يعزز قيم التعايش بين الديانات السماوية|url=https://www.hespress.com/الاهتمام-المغربي-بالتراث-اليهودي-يعز-756581.html|access-date=2021-03-16|website=Hespress - هسبريس جريدة إلكترونية مغربية|language=ar}}
