Muhammad al-Hafiz al-Tijani spread the Tijaniyya path in Egypt and beyond, and the zawiya he founded in Cairo became a home for students of al-Azhar. The path is named after Ahmad al-Tijani, who passed away in Fez in 1230 AH, and is known for its Friday gathering of tahlil from the afternoon prayer until sunset. Muhammad al-Hafiz passed away on 29 Jumada al-Akhira 1398 AH. He is buried with his son in the large Tijani zawiya in al-Mugharbilin, south of Bab Zuwayla.
