The Tijaniyya is the largest Sufi order in West
and North Africa. In this unprecedented analysis
of the Tijaniyya's origins and development in the
late eighteenth century, Zachary Valentine
Wright situates the order within the broader
intellectual history of Islam in the early
modern period. Introducing the group's founder,
Ahmad al-Tijani (17378211185), Wright focuses
on the wider network in which al-Tijani traveled,
revealing it to be a veritable global

Islamic revival whose scholars commanded large
followings, shared key ideas, and produced
literature read widely throughout the Muslim
world. They were linked through chains of
knowledge transmission from which emerged vibrant
discourses of renewal in the face of perceived
social and political corruption. Wright argues
that this constellation of remarkable Muslim
intellectuals, despite the uncertainly of the
age, promoted personal verification in religious
learning. With distinctive concern for the
notions of human actualization and a universal
human condition, the Tijaniyya emphasized the
importance of the realization of Muslim
identity. Since its beginnings in North Africa in
the eighteenth century, the Tijaniyya has
quietly expanded its influence beyond Africa,
with significant populations in the Middle East,
Southeast Asia, and North America. We are proud
to offer this book in our usual print and ebook
formats, plus as an open-access edition available
