Résumé

Abstract:The standard-bearer of the Maliki school in Algeria in his age, the erudite scholar Abu al-Abbas al-Wansharisi, exerted tremendous efforts in laying the legal (Shar'i) foundations of the concept of patriotism and in instilling the spirit of belonging to the homeland. He was likewise concerned with resisting everything that tears the homeland apart, threatens its unity, or corrupts its identity, by defending the homeland with life and treasure. At the same time, his faith and his pride in his homeland did not prevent him from dealing well with the Other; he established a legally grounded method for such dealings, founded upon combating the manifestations of religious excess and extremism and upon spreading a culture of tolerance, peace, and acceptance of shared life with the Other, in fulfilment of the common human ground. In the light of the foregoing, this paper sets out to highlight those efforts and to show how they may be projected onto our contemporary reality.
