Sidi Boushaki or Ibrahim Ibn Faïd Ez-Zaouaoui (Arabic: إبراهيم بن فايد الزواوي) (1394 CE/796 AH – 1453 CE/857 AH) was a Maliki theologian 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.

Sidi Boushaki Ez-Zaouaoui was born in 1394 CE in the Col des Beni Aïcha, at the village of Soumâa within the region of Tizi Naïth Aïcha, in the Khachna massif, an extension of Djurdjura.

His extended lineage is Abu Ishaq Ibrahim bin Faïd bin Moussa bin Omar bin Saïd bin Allal bin Saïd al-Zawawi.

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.

There he studied the Quran and the Maliki fiqh as a pupil with Ali Menguelleti [ar], a recognized theologian from Kabylie.

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 Maliki Madhhab.

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.
