Lalla Halima al-Sufiyaniyah ( Arabic: حليمة السفيانية) was one of the wives of Moulay Ismail and the mother of Prince Moulay Zeydan [1] (not to confuse with Prince Moulay Mohammed Zeydan, the latter's older half-brother). Lalla Halima was very active in the socio-political life of Morocco during the reign of her husband, she oversaw army salaries, gifts protocol to the Ulamas, issued donations for schools [2] and left a building heritage to Morocco. [3]
Halima's father was Sheikh Ali bin Hussein al-Sufiyani, upon his death he left his daughter a considerable personal inheritance in Fez, great furniture which would have made anyone among the richest. [4] She married Moulay Ismail around 1707 and henceforth became known as Princess Lalla Halima. [3] she lived in the Palace of Sherrers, the royal harem where wives and concubines lived with their children. [5] Around 1715, Thomas Pellow recorded Lalla Halima as Moulay Ismail's favorite wife [5] and she remained so until her death. [6] He also describes Lalla Halima as being particularly kind. [7]
Kasbah Boulaouane was a fortress built by Moulay Ismail, it was also his palace of retreat from the court of Meknes as Inside the kasbah is a residential neighborhood called Dar al-Sultan. [8] He spent his days at this kasbah regularly every year accompanied by his favorite wife Lalla Halima who was a noble lady of the Sufiyani tribe whose territory is where this fortress was built in Dukala. [6] He would leave her there when court obligations required his return. When Lalla Halima died, her husband Moulay Ismail was so overwhelmed with sorrow that he never visited the Kasbah again. [6]
