Youssef Carter explores Sheikh Amadou Bamba’s commitment to peaceful resistance as a central tenet of his Sufi teachings. Rooted in personal piety, patience, and devotion, Bamba’s oath of nonviolence—made during a spiritual encounter with the Prophet Muhammad—shaped his response to French colonial oppression. Stories like his prayer at sea while in exile to Gabon illustrate his unwavering faith and resistance through spiritual strength. Celebrated annually at the Magal of Touba, Bamba’s legacy continues to inspire Mourides and others committed to justice through nonviolent means.
