Shadhiliyyah

The Shadhiliyyah is a prominent Sufi spiritual order founded in the 13th century by Sheikh Abu'l-Hasan al-Shadhili in North Africa. It emphasizes inner spiritual development, reliance on God's guidance, and practical practices like remembrance (dhikr). The order seeks to cultivate love for God, humility, and a balanced life by integrating devotion into daily activities. It encourages followers to nurture a close, personal connection with God while engaging positively with the world, emphasizing humility, kindness, and spiritual discipline as means to attain closeness to the divine.
