'''Senousiyya''' is an Islamic revival movement that has been present in Libya and Sudan. Muslims in North Africa have always been persecuted by the despotic and oppressive Turkish, local and Western colonial rulers. This kind of treatment of Muslims is the main reason for the rise of liberation movements in North Africa, one of which is the Senousiyya movement. | |||
This movement was founded in Mostaghanem in western Algeria in 1837 by Sheikh Muhammad bin Ali Senousi, and then in 1843, it was established in Libya in the city of Al Bayda.
