Summary/Abstract: In the context of more and more frequent mutual negations of accuracy amongst different Muslim groups, the main Alawy tekke from Mostaganem (Algeria) has issued a statement in January 17th 2016 in which they remind on understanding of tasawuf in the Islamic sources and among credible scholars. The immediate motive for this was attack by members of Neo-Khawarij Movement on one of their tekke in Gaza (Palestine). ‘Alawy tekkes are related to the Sufi order of the same name that was founded by Sheikh Ahmed ibn Mustafa el‘Alāvi (1869–1934).45 The order is the most spreaded in the Islamic countries of Maghreb, and its centre is in Mostaganem (Algeria). UNESCO paid tribute to this order in November 2013 by stating: “This order shows how to serve to humankind in the best possible manner as well as how to make the world more harmonized and better place. It recognises and acknowledges all that can bring a material comfort to a man, but always in close connection with internal dimension, in the constant harmony between worldly and sacred.”
