Ekgan

Ekjan, in Arabic, means “House of Migration.” It is a city built by Abu Abdullah al-Shi’i in Mount Ikjan, located in the Beni Aziz region of the Beni Aziz district located in the Algerian state of Setif. Obaidullah al-Mahdi, the founder of the Fatimid state, resided there after his preacher prepared the ground for him. The eldest is Abu Abdullah al-Sana'ani, known as Abu Abdullah al-Shi'i. This region was the cradle of the Ubaid state (the Fatimid state), and Ikjan was the first capital of the Fatimid state. The first to pave the way for the establishment of this state (the Fatimid state) were preachers and preachers sent by Imam Jaafar al-Sadiq to Algeria.

It is said that Ubaid Allah al-Mahdi was a contemporary of Sidi Masoud al-Idrisi al-Hasani al-Qajjali, the founder of the Qajal Mosque, currently known as Zawiyat Ben Hammadouch (Zawiyat Qajal), located in the municipality of Qajal, District of Qajal, Setif Province, which is located southeast of the Algerian state of Setif.
