This article explores how the revival of the Tijaniyya and the Salafi movement shaped public discourse about Islam in Ghana. Examining the debates which characterised the religious sphere in the 1990s re-democratisation, the article highlights the power struggle which shaped the relations between the contending Muslim groups. It argues that the recognition of the Tijaniyya movement as a representative for all Muslims during Ghana’s re-democratisation in the 1990s emboldened its sympathisers to adopt repressive measures against the Salafi minority. While the local success of Salafism was often linked to locally specific forms of ethnic, political or generational self-assertion, the shared experience of political disadvantage during this period led to a consolidation of Salafi activities at the national level. Thus, as the Tijaniyya influence was politicised by Government, the ensuing conflicts between Sufi and Salafi groups also led to a politicisation of Salafism from below. Illustrating that intra-Muslim debates and disagreements cannot be divorced from their political context, this study demonstrates that learning to be Muslim in Ghana is deeply embedded in political, ethnic, and intergenerational dynamics.

本文探讨了蒂贾尼耶（Tijaniyya）的复兴和萨拉菲（Salafi）运动如何塑造了加纳关于伊斯兰教的公开言论。文章回顾了1990年代重新民主化过程中宗教领域的典型辩论，强调了权力斗争，这场斗争塑造了相互竞争的穆斯林团体之间的关系。它辩称，在1990年代加纳重新民主化期间，承认蒂贾尼耶运动是所有穆斯林的代表，这使其同情者采取了镇压措施来打击萨拉菲少数民族。萨拉夫主义在当地取得的成功通常与当地特定形式的种族，政治或世代相传的自信心有关，但在此期间，由于政治劣势的共同经历，萨拉菲在国家一级的活动得到了巩固。因此，由于政府对蒂贾尼（Tijaniyya）的影响进行了政治化，因此苏菲派和萨拉菲集团之间随之发生的冲突也导致了萨拉菲主义从下而上的政治化。这项研究表明，穆斯林内部的辩论和分歧不能脱离其政治背景，该研究表明，在加纳学习穆斯林已深深植根于政治，种族和代际间的动态中。
