WELCOME
We are on a mission to spread the Light of authentic Sufism to every corner of the earth—through research and practice.
THE SHAYKH
Al-Karkari Institute is founded and led by
Shaykh Mohamed Faouzi al-Karkari, a
Moroccan contemporary master of Sufism.
HIS STORY
Shaykh al-Karkari has worked
tirelessly for nearly 20 years in guiding
disciples on the Path to God.
Discover his roots through excerpts
of his biography, At The Service of Destiny
written by his disciple, Jamil Zaghdoudi.
THE TARIQA
The Tariqa Karkariya, a revival of the
Shadhiliya, is distinct from other
spiritual paths by being centered
on the witnessing of the Light of God.
THE PRINCIPLES
The Tariqa is established on seven principles that guide the aspirant into the exalted presence of God.
Explore these foundational principles through excerpts from Shaykh al-Karkari's book, The Foundations of the Karkariya, a work dedicated to their detailed exposition.
THE LIGHT
Light is not a metaphor,
but the essential reality
to be witnessed.
The Sufi Path of Light,
written by Shaykh al-Karkari,
expounds on the centrality
of Light in the religion of Islam.
