Abstract

This scientific article discusses two important aspects of the personality of the scholar and polymath Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Mughili Al-Tlemceni, who died in 909 AH (1505 CE). The first aspect is an attempt to introduce his works, which cover various fields of knowledge and sciences, by referring to published, unpublished and lost manuscripts. The second aspect presents the Sheikh's connection with the Qadiriyya Sufi order, highlighting his role in spreading this order in the Tuat region, along with the methodology he followed in Sufism and the impact he left behind, which was later transmitted by his followers in both Morocco and Western Sudan.
