Diwan of the Lovers of the Beloved

Published under the spiritual guidance of Sheikh Khaled Bentounes, the Diwan of the Lovers of the Beloved is a major work of contemporary spiritual poetry. Bringing together more than three thousand verses, this volume compiles the mystical poems of Sheikh Mohammed Ben el-Habib al-Bûzîdî (1824–1909), Sheikh Ahmed Ben Mustapha al-‘Alawî (1874–1934), and Sheikh ‘Adda Bentounès (1898–1952), leading figures of the Alawiyya-Darqawiyya-Shadhiliyya spiritual path.

Rich in poetic, spiritual, and artistic expression, the *Diwan* celebrates divine love, the Prophetic presence, and the inner journey through a living tradition in which the written word becomes both invocation and contemplation.

The volume is enhanced with Arabic calligraphy, audio interpretations, and an interactive digital experience accessible through QR codes and a mobile application, creating a unique dialogue between intangible cultural heritage and contemporary artistic creation.

Through this publication, the ADLANIA Foundation contributes to preserving and transmitting a living spiritual and poetic heritage while fostering a space where tradition, art, and the contemporary world come together.

Extend your Dîwân experience with the dedicated mobile app, offering access to audio interpretations, interactive content, and digital resources related to the book.
