Guidance and Devotion: The Legacy of Bamba and Fall
This video explores the legacy of Sheikh Amadou Bamba and Sheikh Ibrahima Fall, founders of the Mouride Sufi brotherhood in Senegal. Revered for nonviolent resistance to colonialism and spiritual teachings on humility and peace, Sheikh Bamba’s image is seen throughout Dakar as a symbol of protection and inspiration. Alongside Fall’s dedication to service, their teachings continue to shape post-colonial identity, civic life, and global Sufi practice.
