Budshishiyya
The Budshishiyya (Arabic: بودشيشية) is a Moroccan Sufi order (tariqa), a branch of the Qadiriyya.[1] Abu Madyan ibn Munawar al-Budshish established the order in northeastern Morocco in the 1940s.[1] It is the largest tariqa in Morocco, with several hundred thousand followers.[2] Outside of Morocco, France is home to the greatest number of adherents, including both Maghrebi immigrants and French converts.[3] In France, the politician Bariza Khiari and the rapper Abd al Malik are among its members.[4]
