Shadhili Order

The Shadhili Order is a spiritual tradition within Sufism, founded in the 13th century by Sheikh Abu-l-Hassan ash-Shadhili in North Africa. It emphasizes a balanced approach to spiritual life, encouraging scholars and ordinary people to seek God through remembrance (dhikr), ethical conduct, and meditation. The order promotes living harmoniously in society while maintaining a deep inner connection with the divine. Its teachings focus on love, humility, and spiritual closeness to God, integrating devotional practices with active engagement in everyday life. The Shadhili Order has a broad following across North Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.
