Ben Badis founded in 1931 the Association of Muslim Algerian Ulema. It is in the monthly al-Chihab he published, from 1925 until his death, his reformist ideas of both the religious and political. He died on 16 April 1940 in Constantine.
Ben Badis grew up in a pious family, which he learned the Koran at the age of thirteen.
Very young, he is placed under the preceptorship Lounissi Hamdan.

In 1908, Ben Badis decides to begin his first trip to the science to the mosque Zitouna Tunis who was then a major center of science.
At the mosque Zitouna, his horizon begins to expand. There, he met many scholars who have influenced his personality and orientation. Among them, Sheikh Mohamed Al Nakhli that it has rooted ideology of reform, as he showed him the proper way to understand the Koran. There was also Sheikh Mohamed Al Taher Ben Achour and was guided to the love of the Arabic language and tasting its splendor. As for Sheikh Bachir Al Safer, he pushed Ben Badis interest in history and contemporary problems of the Muslims and find a solution to repel Western colonialism and its aftermath.
After his return to Algeria, he began immediately to teach at the Al Kabir mosque Djamaa Constantine. But those opposing the Islamic reformist movement, wanted the ban, which has grown from new, but to the Middle East this time.
After completing the pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, Ben Badis stayed there three months to give way at masjid annabaoui.
He will meet thereafter his friend and one of the supporters of the reformist Islamic movement, Sheikh Bachir Al Ibrahimi.
