    Fascinating. I met Shadhili fuqara in the Netherlands in Utrecht and in Germany in Frankfurt. Sheikh Khaled Bentounes is well known in France. Sheikh Muhammad al Yaqubi from Syria also. In China you can find Shadhili, Indonesia, Java, Malaysia.The Commor Islands too. Thank you for your inspiring video. Have you read the book The Meaning of Man by Sidi'Ali al-Jamal of Fez? 🙏🤗

    I have a few clarifications:
    1- I would argue that the Shadhilli order is not only the largest order in North Africa, but in all of the Arab world. While there are certainly other orders in the Levant, based on my personal experience of engaging with these orders, I believe the Shadhilis are the most numerous by a fair margin, followed by Rifais and Qadiris. In the Gulf and Yemen, the Ba Alawi order is the largest, followed by Shadhilis and Rifais, while in Iraq Rifais and Qadiris are the most numerous. Nevertheless, between North Africa, Egypt, and the Levant, I believe that the Shadhili order is the largest.
    2- While it's true that the Shadhili order is "sober" compared to the ones you mentioned + the Chishtis, the Naqshbandis, Ba Alawis, and some Qadiri orders are far more "sober" since they don't do the Hadhra dancing dhikr--which is not considered a "sober" practice by those paths or most non-Sufi Muslims. The Alawi-Shadhili orders, and some others, also have ritual seclusion (khalwa) practices that some orders would not consider "sober." Finally, Shadhili himself called his path a path of gratitude (shukr) rather than a path of patience (sabr) in that there is more focus on "seeing Allah in everything, before everything, with everything, after everything, at all times" and being joyful and grateful in that realization and remembrance than on asceticism, which is/was a big part of other paths and is a hallmark of more "sober" paths. I think the Shadhilis strike a good balance.
    Also, the other measure of "sobriety," is in publicly showing one's intoxication/ ecstatic union with God, Shadhilis generally advised and taught to hide it and be "normal" in society, externally, while being in that state internally. Some other tariqas are find with their dervishes being internally and externally in such states and don't teach them how to properly integrate the two states.
    3- I think it mainly spread in the West because of the figures you mentioned, which made it more accessible. A further figure I would also mention is Al-Alawi's contemporary, Muhammad Ibn Al-Habib Al-Buzaidi, and the orders that spread from his followers like the controversial Murabitun (followers of Ian Dallas / Abdul Qadir Al-Sufi), the Bewleys / Habibiya, and contemporary author, Michael Sugich--whose most recent 2 books have been popular.
    4- Other than his Hizb Al-Bahr litany, there are several other litanies that he wrote and which some Shadhili paths still read today like his Hizb Al-Kabeer, Hizb An-Nur, and Hizb An-Nasr. Ibn Ata'illah mentions these and many of Al-Shadhilis words of wisdom and guidance in his biography of Al-Shadhili and his other works. The Shadhili Order litany book that Sh. Nuh Keller prepared and translated has these and other main litanies in it, as well, and should be accessible.
    5- One of the hadhras you showed had people swinging side to side, that's not a Shadhili hadra. It's most likely a Rifai one. Shadhili Hadras are usually a bit more controlled than those of the Rifais and tend to be either up and down or back and forth bending.

    The Royal House of al-Saadi, the dynasty ruling Morocco prior to the current one, was closely intertwined with al-Jazuli and, in fact, were probably related. It was through the Shadhiliyya/Jazuliyya that their earliest Hasani sheiks (as they were known at the time) gained power and prestige. The Sufi orders of Morocco are fascinating and, in fact, warranted their own appendix in my recently published work "Footprints in the Sand: History of the Maghreb from the 7th to 17th centuries" (Lulu Publishing; 2023). The Hasani distanced themselves from the order proper as their political power grew yet relied on the order through most of their rule in the 16th & 17th centuries.

    The Sufi ascetic mystic spiritual masters who had the greatest influence on western tradition of Sufism were Abul Abbas al Mursi, Abul Hasan ash Shadhili and Ibnu Ataillah as Sakandari. The Sufi ascetic mystic spiritual masters who had the greatest influence on eastern tradition of Sufism were Abdul Qadir al Jaylani, Abu Hamid al Ghazali, Abdul Karim al Jaylani, Ahmad ar Rifaii, Shah Naqshband, Ahmad as Sarhandi and Muiinuddin al Jishti.
    The Shadhiliyya Sufi Order is one of the most famous western islamic Traditions of North Africa with European western islamic especially Andalusian Origins because the famous Sufi ascetic monk Abul Abbas al Mursi (from Mursiyya/ Marseille in Andalusia) was the spiritual master of the Shadhiliyya Master and Monk Ibnu Ataillah as Sakandari (as Sakandari/from Alexandria) ash Shadhili.
    Therefore we can see some similarities between the Shadhiliyya mystic order and Jewish European Western especially Andalusian mystic orders and even between them and some Christian Catholic Western European mystic orders like the Franciscan Order.
    On the other side we can see the influences of Eastern Asian mystic tendencies of Eastern and Asian Jewish, Eastern and Asian Christian Catholic and Orthodoxian, Asian Zoroastrian, Asian Manichaeistic, Asian Buddhist, Asian Hinduistic and other Eastern mystic tendencies on the Eastern and Asian Sufi ascetic mystic orders of Islam like the Naqshbandiyyah, Rifaiyyah, Bektaşi, Qadiriyyah, Jishtiyyah and other similar Orders.
    In general we can see even far from all this the similar way of life between north African and western European and the similar way of life between Turkey and Eastern European and the similar way of life between Turkey, Iran, India, China, Korea, Japan and the East in general.
    It's really interesting to watch all this and to discover similarities and differences between cultures and Civilizations, therefore we can say that the Western Civilizations (Western and Central Europe and North Africa) are Roman Latin Greek Hellenic Phoenician Germanic Celtic Etruscan Tamazighian Cultures and that the Middle Civilizations (Turkey, Caucasian and Eastern Europe) are Greek Hellenic European Asian Persian Turkic Slavic Caucasian Cultures and that the Eastern Civilizations (Iran, Afghanistan, the Turkic and Tatar Regions, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia and the greatest rest of Russia and the rest of Asia) are Asian Indian Persian Greek Hellenic Turkic Mongolian Tatar Caucasian Chinese Japanese Korean Thai Malayo-Polynesian and Indo Chinese Cultures.
    It's really interesting to make such great Theories about the East, West and the Middle.
