Abdel Hamid Ben Badis ,who was born in December 4th

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 had 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. The Association also published a monthly journal, the Al-Chihab and Ben Badis contributed regularly
to it between 1925 and his death in 1940. The journal informed its readers about the Association's ideas and
thoughts on religious reform and spoke on other religious and political issues.
On April 16th
, 1940, Ben Badis died in his birthplace of Constantine. He was buried in the presence of
20,000 people and his funeral took the aspect of a gigantic humanistic demonstration; anti-colonialist and
democratic; the very principles practiced in the life of this large Algerian hero. Algeria is proud to remember
this hero each year on April 16th, ―The Science Day‖.
