Islam– The Tijaniyya is the largest Sufi group in West and North Africa. In this groundbreaking examination of the Tijaniya’s origins and its growth during the second part of 18th-century Zachary Valentine Wright situates the group in the larger intellectual history of Islam in the period of early modern.

The founder of the group was Ahmad al-Tijani (1737-1815), Wright analyzes the wider network that al-Tijani played a part of, and shows that it was a true global Islamic revival, whose leaders controlled massive audiences, spread the most significant ideas, and published writings which were read by many all over all of the Muslim world.
