From the beginning of the nineteenth century, Muslim groups such as the Marabouts of Wangara — who arrived with the exiled Hausa King of Katsina — were present in Maradi. As in Katsina, they acted as the religious authorities of the city. However, an alliance between Muslim groups in Katina and animist authorities of the Maradi Valley did not favour Wangara proselytizing in the nineteenth century. Only at the beginning of the twentieth century did Wangara religious expertise become known outside the group. Wangara Marabouts also headed the two major Sufi orders of the city, the Qadiriyya and the Umarian Tijaniyya. Nonetheless, their adherence to the Sufi orders was very superficial up to the middle of the twentieth century. Indeed, only in the 1940s did sufism begin to implant itself in Maradi — following the visit of Ibrahim Nyass. About that time, the Tijaniyya, which had predominated over the Qadiriyya, split into two antagonistic groups, the Umarians and the Nyassists. However, their quarrels faded away upon appearance of the izala Wahhabi reform movement in the 1980s which unified the Sufi Marabouts against it. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1686 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1080/00083968.1998.10751149 10.1080/00083968.1998.10751149 bibo:issue 3 bibo:pageEnd 557 bibo:pageStart 521 bibo:volume 32 --
