Casablanca: Where History, Medicine, and the Supernatural Converge
Moroccan supernatural traditions in Casablanca center on the belief in djinn—spiritual beings mentioned in the Quran that are believed to inhabit the unseen world alongside humans. Certain locations throughout the city, particularly old cemeteries, abandoned buildings, and natural water sources, are considered djinn territories. The shrine of Sidi Abderrahman, located on a rocky outcrop off Casablanca's coast, is a renowned center for 'ruqyah' (spiritual healing) where practitioners treat those believed to be afflicted by djinn possession through Quranic recitation and ritual. Gnawa music, originating from sub-Saharan African spiritual traditions brought to Morocco through the slave trade, is performed in 'lila' ceremonies specifically to communicate with and appease spirits. Many Casablancans visit 'fqih' (religious healers) for protection against the evil eye ('ain') and sorcery ('sihr'), practices that coexist with modern urban life.
Casablanca's medical history intertwines Moroccan traditional healing with French colonial medicine and modern healthcare development. During the French protectorate (1912–1956), the French established hospitals and medical schools that introduced Western medical practices alongside Morocco's centuries-old tradition of herbal medicine and spiritual healing. Ibn Rochd University Hospital, the city's principal medical center, was built during this era and remains Morocco's largest healthcare facility. Casablanca has become a growing hub for medical tourism in Africa, with its private clinics attracting patients from across the continent. Morocco's traditional pharmacopoeia, developed over centuries and influenced by Andalusian, Berber, and Arab medical traditions, continues to be practiced by herbalists ('attarin') in the medinas alongside modern pharmaceutical care.
