The Moroccan mystic and theologian Ah mad b. Idris (1749-1837) was one of the most dynamic personalities in the Islamic world of the 19th century. Through his teachings and the activity of his students important Sufi orders were founded which exerted wide-ranging social and political influence.
In the present work an Arabic edition and translation with commentary of two texts are made available which throw light on Ibn Idris' attitude towards the religious-dogmatic questions of his day and age.
