Ahmad Zarruq also known as Imam az-Zarruq ash Shadhili (A?mad ibn A?mad ibn Mu?ammad ibn ‘Isa) (1442–1493 CE) was a Sunni, Ashari Muslim scholar and Sufi sheikh from Fes, Morocco.
He is considered one of the most prominent and accomplished legal, theoretical, and spiritual scholars in Islamic history, and is thought by some to have been the renewer of his time (mujaddid).
He was also the first to be given the honorific title "Regulator of the Scholars and Saints" (muhtasib al-‘ulama’ wa al-awliya’).
His shrine is located in Tripoli, Libya, however unknown militants exhumed the grave and burnt half the mosque.
