Les Chorfa: Les nobles du monde musulman is a historical and genealogical study examining the social and religious significance of the Chorfa—descendants of the Prophet Muhammad—in North African Muslim societies. Authored by Hachlef M and Sidi Ali Hachlaf, the work traces the lineage and societal roles of these noble families, exploring how religious heritage intersects with social status and identity. Drawing on genealogical records and cultural analysis, the book provides insight into the enduring influence of prophetic descent in shaping community structures, religious authority, and familial prestige across the region. Published in 1995 by Publisud, this French-language volume contributes to broader understandings of Islamic social history and the interplay between spirituality and aristocracy in the Muslim world.
