Résumé
Ibadite religious reform in the M’zab, is precocious and internal. It starts from the established fact that the Ibadite rite in its initial version doesn’t correspond to the demands imposed by XXth C changes. In this sense it is closer to, the renaissance (Nahda) which germed in the orient at the end of the 19th C early 20th C. It shares many principles with the Badissian reform to which it is allied.However, the Ibadite community’s particularity, imposes the respect of community preservation on its reformers .It also finds there a powerful factor for legalizing to captivate innovations for economic and material modernization. The advancement of the religious reform doesn’t happen without offending conservators of the rite in its purity and its references judged as untouchable.This contribution intends to draw a picture which shows how little by little this reform is outlined, takes shape then takes root, opening an alternative, adapting to change, which is captivated and used as a conservation tool by this particular community.
