Algiers, November 10, 2025 – The Tidjaniyya Order has released a statement affirming that spiritual and intellectual values are an inseparable part of Algeria’s national identity.
The statement, issued earlier today, underscores the vital role that faith and knowledge play in shaping the Algerian character and preserving the nation’s cultural heritage. The Order highlighted the importance of upholding these values in the face of modern challenges.
“Spiritual and intellectual values are the bedrock upon which our nation is built,” the statement read. “They are the guiding principles that inform our actions and shape our understanding of the world. To neglect these values is to undermine the very foundation of our identity.”
The Tidjaniyya Order, a prominent Sufi order with a significant following in Algeria and across Africa, has long been a proponent of education and spiritual development. Its emphasis on these values reflects a deep commitment to fostering a society that is both grounded in tradition and open to progress.
The statement comes at a time when Algeria is actively engaged in efforts to strengthen its national identity and promote its cultural heritage. The Order’s reaffirmation of the importance of spiritual and intellectual values is seen as a timely contribution to this ongoing dialogue.
Observers note that the Tidjaniyya’s intervention is significant, given its historical and cultural influence within Algerian society. The call to preserve spiritual and intellectual values resonates with many Algerians who see them as essential to the nation’s continued stability and prosperity.
The statement concludes with a call to all Algerians to embrace and promote these values in their daily lives, ensuring that they continue to be a source of strength and inspiration for generations to come. The Order reiterated its commitment to working alongside other institutions and individuals to achieve this goal.
