ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Muṣṭafā ibn Makkī ibn Bādīs (Arabic: عبد الحميد بن مصطفى بن المكي بن باديس), better known as Ibn Bādīs (Arabic: بن باديس) was an Algerian Salafi educator, exegete, Islamic reformer, scholar and figurehead of cultural nationalism. In 1931, Ben Badis founded the Association of Algerian Muslim Ulema, which was a national grouping of many Islamic scholars in Algeria from many different and sometimes opposing perspectives and viewpoints. The Association would have later a great influence on Algerian Muslim politics up to the Algerian War of Independence. In the same period, it set up many institutions where thousands of Algerian children of Muslim parents were educated. Read more on Wikipedia
