[6] This zawiya, which opened its doors in 1714, has an important place in its fields of formation, as it had annually graduated about 70 male and female Hafiz of the Quran with its rulings and the Hadith that he depends on in framing the various mosques of the province.

[19] This is how this zawiya took part in giving the Algerians a popular collegial direction through Allegiance to Mohamed ben Zamoum [ar] by the murids of the outskirts of the Algérois region.

[20] Popular resistance against the French military occupation of Mitidja and Kabylia would then begin under the patronage of the Sheikhs of the Zawiyas, including Hammou ben Abdelkrim al-Boumerdassi.

[22][15] But this stratagem could not go beyond the course of Oued Boudouaou [ar] towards Kabylia until after the Emir Abdelkader installed his power in the region of Zawiyet Sidi Boumerdassi in 1837 and began to attack the farms of settler farmers in Réghaïa.

[27] The buds of settlements began to emerge in Boudouaou, Corso, Tidjelabine, Thénia, Souk El Haad, Beni Amrane and Lakhdaria, and the zawiya saw the noose tighten on living space and the villages in its obedience.
