حركة الإصلاح الديني السلفي في الجزائر

الملخص EN

The call for religious reform stemmed from the needs of the stage in which the Arab and Islamic countries lived and where it was urgent to return to the historical and religious origins that constitute the true identity of the Islamic nation in general and Algeria in particular.

On the verge of the collapse of the Islamic world in the clutches of colonialism, backwardness and polytheism, many religious reform movements appeared, which were led by Muslim scholars and thinkers in many Arab and Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Algeria, and who took upon themselves the message of the first generation represented in spreading Islam, preserving it and achieving its continuity with future generations, and the preservation of the national, social and cultural identity, which can only be achieved by preserving the religious identity.

The Association of Eminent Scholars appeared in Algeria as the most important religious, cultural, social and national revolutionary institution, which was the mouthpiece of the Algerian people, and it contributed with distinction to the steadfastness of the Algerian people in the face of colonial missionary campaigns on the one hand, and the fight against polytheism and heretical manifestations on the other hand.
