He was a member of the Nafzawah tribe of Berbers and lived in Kairouan. In addition, he served as the Imam (spiritual leader) of one of the mosques' that followed the Maliki School tradition. Al-Qayrawani was the leader of the Maliki school in Kairouan (present day Tunisia) and was also an active proponent of Ash'ari thought.[6]
