The presence of the Tijaniyya path in the United States is closely connected to the spiritual influence of Sidi Ibrahim Niass. Several of his disciples played an important role in introducing and spreading the path within Muslim communities in North America.

There are also disciples belonging to spiritual chains linked to Sidi Malik Sy and Sidi Omar Fouti Tall. This diversity reflects the various spiritual lineages that contributed to the establishment of the tariqa in the Western context.

A remarkable aspect of this presence is its connection with the academic world. Some disciples occupy important positions in prestigious universities such as Harvard, Columbia, and other major institutions. Through their research, teaching, and publications, they contribute to the broader understanding of the intellectual and spiritual heritage of the Tijaniyya.
