Abstract

L'ordre soufi Tijāniyyah fut fonde au XVIIIe siecle en Afrique du nord par Ahmad al-Tijānī. Pendant le XIXe siecle, il s'etendit dans toute l'Afrique occidentale. L'A. examine ici les effets sociaux de la pensee Tijāniyyah dans les communautes musulmanes d'Afrique occidentale et les met en relation avec la theologie mystique fondamentale de Tijāniyya qu'il expose, ainsi que le role d'Ahmad al-Tijānī, ces deux elements ayant suscite un elitisme typiquement Tijānī.
