The Darqawiyya, a Moroccan branch of the Shadhili order, was founded in the late 18th century CE by Muhammad al-Arabi al-Darqawi. Selections from the Letters of al-Darqawi have been translated by the Shadhili initiate Titus Burckhardt, and also by the scholar Aisha Bewley. One of the first tariqas to be established in the West was the Alawiya branch of the Darqawiyya,which was named after Ahmad ibn Mustafa al-Alawi al-Mustaghanimi, popularly known as Shaykh al-Alawi. A significant book about him, written by Martin Lings, is A Sufi Saint of the Twentieth Century.
