His Tariqa has found many followers outside his native region, and today has outposts throughout Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.
He was hagiographed by 18th-century Moroccan historian Ahmed ibn al-Mahdi al-Ghazzal in his book an-Nour al-Shamil (النور الشامل).

As his father was a follower of Imam al-Jazuli, he was born in the region of Safi amongst the Mukhatar clan of the Shaym tribe and travelled as a youngster with his father to Fes

Descendents

One of his grandsons has a mausoleum in Jamat Shaim, where it is referred to locally as Sidi Issa ben Makhlouf.
