Tijaniyya
The Tijaniyya is a Sufi order founded in the late 18th century by the Moroccan scholar Ahmad al-Tijani. It emphasizes direct personal experience of God and the importance of spiritual practices, including regular prayers and remembrance of God. The order is known for its inclusive approach, welcoming followers from various backgrounds and promoting unity among Muslims.
Members of the Tijaniyya often engage in communal gatherings and recitations, fostering a sense of community and shared spirituality. The order has a significant presence in West Africa, where it has influenced local cultures and religious practices, contributing to the broader landscape of Islam in the region.
