Al Akbariyya was a secret Sufi society founded in Paris in 1911 by the wandering Swedish Sufi Abd al-Hadi Aguéli. Amongst its first members was René Guénon. Its purpose was to promote the teachings of Muhyeddin Ibn al-Arabi among the "scholarly, educated and freethinking classes..." ^[1] through the practice of the Shadhili and Malamati Sufi paths. The only time this society is mentioned is in a letter written by Aguéli in September 1911 to an unknown address in Cairo announcing its founding, ^[1] not much more is known.
