Description
Summary:This article discusses the role of some Sufi orders and some of their sheikhs who are members of the Higher Council of Egyptian Sufi Brotherhoods in the project to ‘renew religious discourse' (tajdīd khitab al-dīnī) launched by President al-Sissi in 2015. In particular, it raises the question of the extent to which contemporary Sufi ulemas reclaim concepts belonging to the Islamic mystical tradition, such as that of tajdīd (renewal), in order to adapt it to the needs of the country's political agenda. Finally, based on the case of the al-'Azamiya brotherhood, this article aims to question the role played by Sufi identity as a factor of political mobilisation.
Cet article aborde le rôle de certains ordres soufis et de quelques-uns de leurs cheikhs faisant partie du Conseil supérieur des confréries soufies égyptiennes, dans le projet de « renouvellement du discours religieux » (tajdīd khitab al-dīnī) lancé par le président al-Sissi en 2015. Il pose en particulier la question de savoir dans quelle mesure des oulémas soufis contemporains se réapproprient des concepts appartenant à la tradition mystique islamique, tel celui du tajdīd (renouvellement), pour l'adapter aux besoins de l'agenda politique du pays. Enfin, à partir du cas de la confrérie al-‘Azamiya, cet article vise à questionner le rôle joué par l'identité soufie en tant que facteur de mobilisation politique.
