The Algerian Sufi presence in the city of Al-Kef in the 19th century

Abstract

The Tunisian city of Kef formed an appropriate and fertile environment for the growth of popular Islam during the nineteenth century, which represented the century of Sufi organizations that became frameworks for regularity with their own laws and structures, as the city was a major station and an important port. In it, many Sufi orders focused their feet as a vital tool for spiritual communication ... similar to the Rahmani, Qadiriya and Amariya order that entered from Algeria ... as they were spiritual organizations that were able to sweep their field and encircle it within the framework of distinct belief systems that reflect the importance of scientific links and Spiritual areas bordering Ealatian.
