Tijaniyyah The Tijāniyyah (Arabic ,ﺔﻴﻧﺎﺠﺘﻟﺍ ﺔﻘﻳﺮﻄﻟﺍ : transliterated: Al-Ṭarīqah al-Tijāniyyah, or The Tijānī Path) is a sufi tariqa (order, path) originating in North Africa but now more widespread in West Africa, particularly in Senegal, The Gambia, Mauritania, Mali, Guinea, and Northern Nigeria and Sudan. Its adherents are called Tijānī (spelled Tijaan or Tiijaan in Wolof, Tidiane or Tidjane in French). Tijānī attach a large importance to culture and education, and emphasize the individual adhesion of the disciple (murīd). To become a member of the order, one must receive the Tijānī wird, or a sequence of holy phrases to be repeated twice daily, from a muqaddam, or representative of the order.Contents [hide] Sīdī Aḥmad al-Tijānī (1737–1815), who was born in Algeria and died in Fes, Morocco, founded the Tijānī order around 1781 (see Triaud, 2000). Tijānī Islam, an Islam for the poor, reacted against the conservative, hierarchical Qadiriyyah brotherhood then dominant, focusing on social reform and grass- roots Islamic revival. During the first period, some of Shaykh Tijanis appointed khalifas established new Tijani centres abroad and developed ramifications of their own: the centres of Sidi Mohammed al-Ghali Boutaleb (d. 1829) and Sidi Alfa Hachim al-Futi (d. 1934) in Medina Munawwara the centres of Sidi al-Mufaddal Saqqat, Sidi Mohammed b. Abdelwahid Bannani al-Misri (d. after 1854), and Sidi Mohammed al-Hafidh al- Misri (d. 1983) in Egypt the centres of Shaykh al-Islam Sidi Ibrahim Riyahi Tunsi (d. 1851), Sidi Mohammed b. Slimane Manna’i Tunsi, Sidi Mohammed Ben Achour (d. before 1815) and Sidi Taher b. Abdesaadiq Laqmari (d. after 1851) in Tunisia the centre of Sidi Uthman Filani Aklani (d. after 1815) in the Sudan; the centres of Sidi Mohammed Alawi Chinguiti (d. 1830), Sidi Mawlud Fall (d. 1852) and Sidi Mohammad al- Hafid b. al-Mokhtar Beddi in Mauritania the centres of Sidi Mohammed b. al-Mishri Sibai (d. 1809) –author of al-Jami’a li-ma f-taraqa mina-l ‘ulumn (The Absolute in What Has Separated from the Sciences) and al-Qutb Sidi Abul Hassan Ali b.
