THE SEVEN SAINTS OF MARRAKECH

December 24, 2022 /Posted byadmin / 196 / 0

During his reign (1672-1727), the great Sultan Moulay Ismail, wishing to counter the growing influence of the Seven Saints of Regraga, whose tombs were located in the hinterland of Essaouira, decided to select seven saints who shared the commonality of being buried in the ochre city. The sultan entrusted this task to Hassan El Youssi, a great scholar and historian of Morocco during that period.A square is dedicated to them in Marrakech, in the Bab Doukkala district; it is one of the city’s most famous sites.

In this square, a platform was built in 2005 by the Marrakech city council, comprising 7 large towers erected in homage to each of the 7 saints who are all buried there, and each topped with an olive tree.They are aligned and spaced approximately 20 meters apart. The beautiful paved square is reddish in color, respecting the aesthetics of the ochre city.The value of the place is understood through the knowledge of the 7 saints to whom it is dedicated, each of them is visited on a day of the week, this is called a “ziraya”.

5 Things You Didn’t Know About XStore

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself.

To take a trivial example, which of ever undertake laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses enjoy a pleasure that has
no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain produces.
LES SEPT SAINTS DE MARRAKECH
On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation & dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belong.
