Shadhili

The Shadhili is a major Sufi spiritual order founded in the 13th century by Sheikh Abul Hasan ash-Shadhili in North Africa. It emphasizes a practical approach to spirituality, combining prayer, remembrance of God (dhikr), and community service. The order encourages followers to cultivate inner peace, love, and devotion, while staying engaged with daily life. It promotes a balanced spiritual path that integrates inner purification with active participation in the world, aiming for closeness to God through heartfelt practice and moral discipline. The Shadhili order has influenced many Sufi traditions across the Muslim world.
