Sidi Boushaki or Ibrahim Ibn Faïd Ez-Zaouaoui (Arabic: إبراهيم بن فايد الزواوي) (1394 CE/796 AH – 1453 CE/857 AH) was a Malikitheologian born near the town of Thenia, 54 km (34 mi) east of Algiers. He was raised in a very spiritual environment with high Islamic values and ethics within the Algerian Islamic reference.
His extended lineage is Abu Ishaq Ibrahim bin Faïd bin Moussa bin Omar bin Saïd bin Allal bin Saïd al-Zawawi.
Biography
He began his studies in the village of Thala Oufella (Soumâa) in Thénia in 1398 CE, before joining Béjaïa in 1404 CE, very young, to continue his studies.
Béjaïa was then at the beginning of the fifteenth century a religious center and a place of influence of Sufism.
He made his destination in 1415 to Tunis, where he deepened his knowledge of MalikiMadhhab.
There he studied the tafsir of the Quran at the judge Abu Abdallah Al Kalchani, and he received the Maliki fiqh from Yaakub Ez-Zaghbi.
He was a student of Abdelwahed Al Fariani in the foundations (Oussoul) of Islam.
He returned in 1420 to the mountains of Béjaïa where he deepened in Arabic at Abd El Aali Ibn Ferradj.
He went to Constantine in 1423 where he lived for many years, and he received the teachings in the Muslim faith (Aqidah) and logic in "Abu Zeid Abderrahmane", nicknamed "El Bez".
He studied prose, verse, fiqh and the majority of the theological sciences of the time at Ibn Marzuq El Hafid [ar] (1365 - 1439), the Maghreb and Tlemcen scholar who had visited Constantine to preach his knowledge, not to be confused with his father Ibn Marzuq El Khatib (1310 - 1379).
This zawiya was a place of intellectual and spiritual influence throughout the lower Kabylia by its teachings and initiation courses provided in this region surrounded by Oued Isser and Oued Meraldene in front of Mediterranean Sea.
The Sufi order of Qadiriyya was hardly followed in this zawiya for three centuries until the tariqa Rahmaniyya took over in the Algérois region and Kabylia as a model of the ascetic course.

His works cover several aspects of the Islamic sciences, including:
Facilitating the Path for an extract of the flowers of Rawd Khalil is an explanation of Mukhtasar Khalil's summary of Maliki jurisprudence (Arabic: تسهيل السبيل لمقتطف أزهار روض خليل).
