In the name of God, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful
And prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
On the occasion of the commemoration of the fifteenth centenary of the birth of the Prophet, Seal of Prophethood ﷺ, the Tariqa Qâdiriya Boutchichiya, under the supervision of its cheikh Sidi al-Hajj Mouad al-Qadiri Boutchich (may God preserve him), is organising, during the last ten nights of the blessed month of Ramadan 1447 AH, the first edition of:
“Majâlis al-Anwâr fî Dhikr as-Salât ‘alâ an-Nabî al-Mukhtâr – The Assemblies of Lights in the Remembrance of the Prayer upon the Chosen Prophet”, under the theme:
“Moroccans at the heart of the prophetic virtues and the Muhammadan prayers: fidelity to meaning and renewal of form”
This initiative comes within the framework of the celebration of the fifteenth centenary of the birth of our master Muhammad ﷺ, a great commemoration called for by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful (may God grant him victory, glory and firm establishment).
It constitutes a major milestone of faith in the consciousness of the nation, and a blessed occasion for Moroccans (rulers and people) to revive the depth of the spiritual bond that unites them with the honourable prophetic presence: a bond nourished over the centuries by sincere love, steadfast loyalty and an attachment founded on veneration and respect.
This love, rooted in the Moroccan consciousness, has never been a mere abstract emotion: it has taken shape in conduct, in values, in spiritual education, in inner purification, in a constant effort to conform to the noble prophetic character ﷺ, in taking inspiration from his guidance in the building of the human being and the reform of society.
In this context, the Sufi schools have assumed an essential role in rooting this luminous bond with the Muhammadan presence ﷺ: they have made the prayer upon the Prophet a daily provision, a path of spiritual knowledge, of inner taste, of deep attachment, of purity of love and of sincerity in following, so that hearts may be made clear by the lights of his remembrance and souls set upright upon his Sunna.
Proceeding from this profound meaning, the Tariqa Qâdiriya Boutchichiya, under the supervision of its noble cheikh Sidi al-Hajj Mouad al-Qadiri Boutchich (may God preserve him), announces the organisation of a series of spiritual, scholarly and prophetic activities in the last ten days of the blessed month of Ramadan, those days when lights multiply and souls rise towards nearness.
These activities aim to deepen knowledge of the prophetic virtues, to multiply the prophetic prayers transmitted through Moroccan history, to revive the meanings of sincere love and conscious following, in a dynamic of purification and reform, fidelity to the path of the virtuous and renewal of the commitment to God and His Messenger ﷺ, in accordance with the words of the Most High:
“The Messenger of God is an excellent model…” (Qur’an 33:21)
