Sheik El Miloud Al Mahaji

The Sheik El Miloud (Al Mahaji) was born with Oran, more exactly in the popular quarters of Dined Me Jdida in 1909.

Sheik Miloud Al Mahaji, which was Grand Imam with Oran, is resulting from a family belonging to the large tribe of Me hadja, originating in El Gaada, in suburbs of Oran. This family settled near the Bey Mohamed El Kébir, in Oran towards the end of the XIXe century. Sheik el Miloud learned Coran, then studied various religious sciences. He made conspicuous himself while being first student Algerian west of the Sheik Abdelhamid Ben Badis with Constantine, where he found his way through the Islah which aimed at restoring with Islam its size and its original purity by releasing it from the obscurantism and sectarianism. During 70 years, Miloud devoted its energy to training and education in accordance with the principles of Islam. Its religious proselytism was doubled of a deep patriotic feeling. This led a great number of pupils to join the rows of the FLN, then of the ALN until the national release.

El-falah association was created in 1937 in Oran under the aegis of sheik El Miloud Al Mahaji, president of association, as well as other personalities of the city such as Souyah Houari, Tayeb Tsouria-Belaid, Baghdad Abou-kébir, Ahmed Semghouni, Hamou Nafi, Habib Charfaoui, Habib Rekik, Sheik Hafiz Lakhdar, Houari Bendjebar, Abdelkader Mekki, Houari Kandsi, Benguesmia And Chadli Baghdadi… In 1954, the day before the war of independence, Medersa El-falah was a core of revolutionary activists and much of its disciples contributed to the release of the hostilities to French colonialism. The first victims were Zeddour Brahim Belkacem, Zahana Ahmed (zabana) and Cheriet Ali Cherif.
