The Role of the Islamic Maghreb Scholars in the Written Explanation of the Virtues of Recourse and Pilgrimage to the Prophet (S)

Recourse to the Prophet (S) and pilgrimage to his tomb have always been the stable sirah of the Companions, followers, and religious leaders since the beginning of Islam and these issues have also been considered by Muslim writers. However, in the 7th century and with the advent of Ibn Taymiyyah and after him Ibn Abd al-Wahhab, one of the most important issues criticized was the appeal to the Prophet (S) and pilgrimage to his tomb. Belief in the sanctity of appealing to the Prophet (S) after his demise and traveling to visit his shrine is one of the issues that Wahhabism is still trying to expand. Against them, Shiite scholars and some Sunni ones emphasize the approval of recourse to the Prophet (S) and his pilgrimage. The purpose of this article is to get acquainted with the efforts of the scholars of the Islamic Maghreb in this regard.  Enumerating the writings of the Islamic Maghreb scholars with the focus on the recourse and pilgrimage to the Prophet (S), the article will lead the readers to be acquainted with their works in this field.
