He was a member of the Walad Sidi Abdalla tribe, and was a sharif tracing his descent from Fatimah , the daughter of Mohammed . He studied at a madrassa in Fez , then traveled in the Sahara preaching a purifying reform of the faith in Tunisia and Tripoli , gaining many adherents, and thence moved to Cairo to study at Al-Azhar University . Unable to cross Algeria because of the French occupation, he established his capital at Jaghbub , in Cyrenaica .
