Abdesslam Yassine

Abdesslam Yassine (; 1928 – December 13, 2012) was the leader of the Moroccan Islamist organisation Al Adl Wa Al Ihssane (Justice and Spirituality).

Biography Abdesslam Yassine was born in Marrakesh on 3 September 1928. He worked as a teacher and a school inspector for the Ministry of Education, and from 1965 on, was a member of one of the most famous Moroccan Sufi brotherhoods, the Budshishiyya.Aïssa Kadri, Parcours d'intellectuels maghrébins, Karthala Editions, 1999, p. 129-164 Yassine reportedly fell out with the leadership of the brotherhood over its refusal to engage more directly in political matters, and founded his own organisation.

Yassine was jailed in a mental asylum for three years for publishing an open letter to King Hassan II denouncing his rule as un-Islamic. Following his release he was kept under house arrest for many years, before eventually being released in the early years of the rule of King Mohammed VI.Henry Clement M., Globalization and the Politics of Development in the Middle East , p. 225

Yassine's many publications include L'Islam ou le Deluge (Islam or the Flood),Malika Zeghal, Islamism in Morocco: religion, authoritarianism, and electoral politics, p. 99 probably the best known of his works.

Yassine died on 13 December 2012. He was married to Khadija Al Malki who died in late March 2015 and is the father of Nadia Yassine who leads the women's branch of Al Adl Wa Al Ihssane.
