Sufism is a fundamental human component that satisfies the needs of the soul and envelops it with tranquility and serenity. It has established a cognitive and ethical foundation based on mysticism, with its basis being the sacred text - the Book of God (the Quran) - and the noble traditions of His Prophet (Prophetic Hadith) - in understanding and practice. The pinnacle of its essence lies in morality. Since its ethical demand focuses on investing in human beings as the foundation for any construction and civilizational change, it has been embraced in specialized institutions known as "Zawiyas," which are framed by the Sufi Al-Tariqah.In the crucible of this triad - the approach (Sufism) + the institution (Sufi Al-Tariqah + Zawiya) + the individual (the seeker and recipient) - Algeria has had a strong and influential Sufi presence on a global scale through its Sufi luminaries, such as Sheikh "Mohammed Ali Al-Sanusi," Sheikh "Ahmed Al-Tijani," Emir "Abdul Qadir," Sheikh "Al-Hajj Mohammed Ben Yelles," and Sheikh "Ahmed Ben Mustapha Al-Alawi." They operated according to two complementary approaches: spiritual education and teaching, relying on elements inherent in this movement, represented by "the displacement of pilgrims" (geographical displacement) and "the displacement of the mystics" (existential displacement).
