Abu Shu'ayb ad-Dukkali

Abū Shu'ayb ad-Dukkālī as-Sadīqī (Arabic: أبو شعيب الدكالي الصديقي; 1878–1937) was a Moroccan scholar, minister, educator, and pioneer of Salafism in Morocco.

[4] He was born in 1878 to a modest family from a rural area called as-Sadiqat (دوار الصديقات) near al-Gharbiya in Dukkala.

[1] His family was affiliated with the Darqawi Sufi order and studied Ibn Ata Allah al-Iskandari's Al-Ḥikam al-Aṭāʾiya  [ar].

[5] Among his students were Muhammad al-Mukhtar as-Susi[5] and Mohammed Belarbi Alaoui [fr].

He headed the program of study in the royal palace under Sultans Abd al-Hafid, Yusuf, and Muhammad V.[5] He was among a number of Moroccan scholars—including Allal al-Fassi, Muhammad al-Mukhtar as-Susi, and Muhammad Bin al-Arabi al-Alaoui [es]—that led a nationalist, reformist Salafi movement that was intellectually affiliated with the Moroccan Nationalist Movement opposed to French colonialism.
