About this product
Product Information
The book first traces the genesis and evolution of Sufism in order to explain the circumstances that permitted the emergence of Sufi brotherhoods. Next, brotherhoods that are currently active in Senegal, are described as to the means and manner of their diffusion, the lives of their founding figures, their basic teachings, their internal organization, the links they maintain with each other, and the role they play in the country's cultural, economic, social and political life. Sufism, an expression of the faith focused on spirituality, was the principal format of Islam in Senegal in the 19th and 20th centuries. The major Sufi leaders there were Ibrahim Niasse of the Tijaniyya brotherhood (tariqa), and Muhammad (or Ahmad) Bamba, who established the Murid tariqa, joined by thousands of Senegalese, many of whom later migrated to Europe or America; and major Murid communities still exist in Milan and New York. The book examines both of these major Sufi tariqas in Senegal, as well as the Qadiriyya, and the semi-Sufi Laayeene movement, from their initiation to the late 20th century, showing their influence on Senegalese societies, and on the country's political life, both in the French colonial era and after independence. Until quite recently the average Senegalese citizen was incapable of conceiving Islam outside of a Sufi affiliation. However, the leaders (the shaykhs) who, succeeded the founders, have been more concerned with the management of inherited material interests than in the spiritual education and guidance of the masses of followers. Nowadays, Senegal's shaykhs are more similar to traditional West African chiefs than to the dedicated Islamic educators their ancestors were, and most of their followers are content with this situation as they benefit materially from it. The study of the state of Islam in Senegal, and the religious factors that influence it, can help those concerned with this matter to reflect upon the future of Islam in that country in light of its past.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
