The Association of Algerian Muslim Ulama (Arabic: جمعيّة العلماء المسلمين الجزائريّين, French: Association des Oulémas Musulmans Algériens, AOMA), commonly known as Jam'iyat al-'Ulama (Arabic: جمعيّة العلماء), was an Islamist and Arab nationalist cultural and religious movement in French Algeria led by Abdelhamid Ben Badis. Its motto was "Islam is our religion, Algeria is our homeland, Arabic is our language".[1]
The association emphasised the Arab-Islamic national identity of Algeria by encouraging education and the use of the Arabic language instead of French.[2] They became the strongest defender of Arab and Muslim culture and a major provider of education in Arabic.[3]
