Abstract

This article was formulated based on testimonies and interviews conducted with some local actors in the religious field in the city of Relizane, where a group of preachers belonging to the same generation, who had a religious framework and message from some professors and sheikhs, helped them to follow the path of preaching, focusing on a group of local preachers, national and international references, after preparing the atmosphere by some sheikhs who graduated from the schools of the Association of Algerian Muslim Scholars, as there were Quranic and regular schools spread throughout the city, supervised by sheikhs with a reputation in the local religious field, and these young people also consider that the break with the first local religiosity and the beginning of the (correct) and actual preaching was with the arrival of Sheikh Adel Hassouna (1968-1970).
