Statement of the Tariqa Qâdiriya Boutchichiya, under the supervision of its cheikh, Sidi al-Hajj Mouad al-Qadiri Boutchich, on the occasion of the holding of the Council of the Tariqa.
In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May prayer and peace be upon the Mercy offered as a gift, sent as a mercy to the worlds, and upon his family and all his companions. That being said:
By the grace of Allah and with His help, on Saturday 27 Dhou al-Hijja 1447 AH, corresponding to 13 June 2026, a meeting of the Council of the Tariqa was held at the Mother Zaouïa of Madagh, under the supervision of its cheikh Sidi al-Hajj Mouad al-Qadiri Boutchich, in the presence of the coordinators of the various bodies, the mouqaddamin and the members of the councils of the zaouïas spread across the various regions of the Sharifian Kingdom. The gathering took place in an atmosphere marked by a spirit of responsibility and by the commitment to preserve the spiritual trust of the noble Tariqa, to safeguard its educational identity, to root its constants and to watch over the legitimate foundations that are its own.
The participants, gathered from among the elders of the Tariqa, its educators, its coordinators and those close to it, among those who accompanied its chuyûkh and drew for a long time from their educational source, bore witness to their full adherence to Sidi Mouad al-Qadiri Boutchich, in his capacity as sole cheikh of the Tariqa and heir to its educational Secret. They affirmed that this position rests on what they received from their chuyûkh through direct attestations and indications passed on without interruption, and on what they themselves witnessed within their spiritual gatherings, which has firmly established in them a resolute certainty as to his legitimate inheritance of the trust of the noble Tariqa, the pursuit of its mission, the continuity of its message and its constant progress along the authentic path traced by its founding guides. He watches over the education of the disciples towards the noble virtues of character and the values of the Islam of tolerance, and over fidelity to the constants of the nation, under the high leadership of the great Imamate embodied by our master the Commander of the Faithful, protector of the community and of the religion.
In the same context, the participants also stressed that the gatherings of dhikr, the prayers upon the Prophet and all the acts of worship organised by the noble Tariqa have no other purpose than to turn, at their core, towards Allah the Most High, through a sincere supplication for our master the Commander of the Faithful, for his preservation, his victory and his firm establishment, and for our country, for its security, its stability and its prosperity, out of fidelity to the religious and national constants to which the noble Tariqa remains attached, redoubling its efforts in their service.
The participants expressed their sincere zeal for the Tariqa, their firm attachment to its constants and to its legitimate, educational and behavioural foundations, and their constant concern to preserve its authentic path and to ensure the continuity of its message and the unity of its ranks, affirming that Sidi Mouad al-Qadiri Boutchich represents the educational continuation in which the features of fidelity to the method of the noble guides are embodied, through what is known of him in his attachment to the foundations of the Way, to its virtues and to its aims, and through his constant progress along their method in the education, guidance and service of the disciples.
The gathering saw a large attendance, marked by the presence of disciples from the traditional Qur’anic schools of Souss and of the faithful who came from several countries of sub-Saharan Africa, among them Senegal, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso. This presence bears witness to the spiritual reach of the Way beyond the borders of the Kingdom and to the attachment of its disciples, here as elsewhere, to its teaching.
The participants rejoiced at what the Tariqa shows of its reach, through the opening of new official zaouïas in several places in the Kingdom of Morocco, regarded as spaces of dhikr, education and purification of the soul, which help to spread tranquillity, serenity and love, and to serve the educational and spiritual cause of the disciples and the faithful. They also confirmed that this effort will continue with the opening of new zaouïas in other places, within Morocco and abroad, including sub-Saharan Africa, in the coming days.
Within the framework of its organisational responsibilities, the Council is examining a set of questions relating to the affairs of the Tariqa, in particular those concerning organisational and structural aspects, ways of strengthening coordination between the various councils and bodies, and the development of working methods in the service of the educational and spiritual objectives of the Tariqa, so as to consolidate its presence and its reach in the various fields.
At the close of the meeting, the participants renewed their fidelity to the principles on which the noble Tariqa has been established throughout its blessed course, affirming their unwavering attachment to them and their readiness to continue serving the Way so as to preserve the aims of education and reform, and to safeguard the legacy of the noble cheikhs within this noble Tariqa, in the shade of the religious and national constants of our Sharifian Kingdom.
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
