Tijaniyya

The Tijaniyya is a prominent Sufi Islamic spiritual order founded in the 18th century by Sheikh Ahmad al-Tijani in North Africa. It emphasizes deep devotion, remembrance of God (dhikr), and personal spiritual development through disciplined practices. The order seeks to cultivate a close, loving relationship with God and often involves communal prayers, rituals, and teachings. With millions of followers across Africa, the Tijaniyya plays a significant role in religious life, promoting unity, ethical behavior, and spiritual growth within the Muslim community.
