الشيخ عثمان بن فودي القادري (1754- 1818م( وتأثره بالفكر الإصلاحي للمغيلي من خلال مخطوط "أصول العدل لولاة الأمور وأهل الفضل".

Shaykh Uthman ben Fuddi el Qadiri (1754-1818) and the influence of the reformist thought of el Maghili through the manuscript of “The Principles of Justice”: Shaykh Uthman ben Fuddi el Qadiri el Fullani (1754-1817) is considered among the most important reformists in the region of Western Sudan during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries Hegira, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries A.D. He was influenced, to a large extent, by the thoughts and reformist way of Shaykh Muhamad ben Abdulkareem el Maghili el Tilimsani (died in 909 Hegira, 1504 A.D.). This influence can be clearly noticed in the works of Shaykh ben Fuddi, particularly in his book Ussul el Aadl “The Principles of Justice”. The paper focuses on this influence through a comparison between this book and el Maghili’s book Taj ed Dine fi ma Yajib ala el Muluk wa Es Salatin “The Crown of Religion on the duty of Kings and Sultans”.
