The Arabic article gives formation, not membership: her religious and social upbringing was in the Rahmaniyya way, her grandfather was a Rahmaniyya muqaddam, and her brother was muqaddam of the Rahmaniyya zawiya where she studied. The English article likewise gives only her father's madrasa attached to a Rahmaniyya zawiya — family and schooling, which never count. Wikidata carries no religion value.
