Abstract

This ancient Zawiya, whose impact did not stop in the city of Zliten, which was founded by Sheikh Sidi Abdul Salam al-Asmar in 912 AH, but its impact went beyond Libya to reach the countries of Islam in various continents of the world, as a source of Islamic and Arabic sciences and a beacon of knowledge and literature, and today it still maintains its position as the most prominent and largest beacons and strongholds of science, and one of my motives was to write this research: Introducing the importance of the work of the Sheikh Sidi Abdul Salam Al-Asmar Al-Fitouri Lighthouse for memorizing the Holy Quran and teaching its sciences in Zliten from memorizing the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, as the memorizer, teacher, judge, historian, doctor, engineer and mujahid have graduated from the lighthouse, which has been in operation for five centuries and is still playing its role until now, as well as introducing the Asmarian lighthouse, its founder and educational institutions, and in this research I followed the inductive method.
