Sidi Chiker Meeting of Adherents of Sufism: Opening at Marrakesh of the Proceedings of the 2nd edition of the World Meetings.

Marrakech: Initiated by the Ministry of Religious Endowment and Islamic Affairs, the three days global meeting aims to foster links and contacts between members of Sufism in Morocco and the rest of the world, especially since the Kingdom is one of the cradles of Sufi thought, based on supreme human values from the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Sidna Mohammed (pbuh).

After a first Conference held in 2004, the international meetings of Sidi Chiker's Adherents of Sufism will now be held every two years.
