For Inquires: Please, contact Professor Fallou Ngom ([email protected])The material is a collection of Arabic and Wolofal (Wolof Ajami) poems by Serigne Samba Diarra Mbaye (1870-1917). There are more Arabic poems than Wolofal in the material. Wolofal poems include page 208-211, 364-369, and 387; Arabic and Wolof poems include 374-376; and Arabic poems include 212-363, 370-373, and 377-386, among others. The themes discussed in the material include praises dedicated to Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, his spiritual stature, his traits, and blessings and miracles, among others. Based upon the interview with Serigne Abdoulaye Sarr, the current owner of the material, these poems were written in Mauritania around 1903 when the poet visited his spiritual guide (Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba) who was exiled there by the French colonial administration from 1903 and 1907.
Serigne Abdoulaye Sarr is an eminent Murid scholar with a school in Guet Ndar, Saint-Louis, Senegal. He was was born in 1939 in Saint-Louis and did his quranic and Islamic studies in Guet Ndar, Saint-Louis. He was a disciple of the leading Murid scholar Serigne Bara Diaw Sarr of Guet Ndar. Serigne Abdoulaye Sarr has also studied under Serigne Mouhammadou Lamine Diop-Dagana, one of the prominent disciples of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba in Diourbel. He worked as a civil servant in the water management department of the Senegalese goverment before resigning to devote his life and efforts to his Murid school in Guet Ndar, Senegal. He is a teacher, writer, and specialist of Murid Ajami poetry, especially of Serigne Mbaye Diakhate and Serigne Samba Diarra Mbaye. He received the materials from Serigne Ahmadou Diop-Murid, a fellow Murid disciple and scholar.

For Inquires: Please, contact Professor Fallou Ngom ([email protected])The material is a program description of an international gathering of Murid organizations and disciples written in Wolofal (Wolof Ajami). The document is written in Wolofal because it is the primary means of written communication among Murids. It describes various religious, educational, and cultural activities in the program, including speeches, instructions (ndigal), conferences, films, and discussions on three key Sufi tenets (tarbiyya, tarqiyya, and tasfiyya).The material provides information on the organizations that took part in the meeting such as ASEM (Association des Etudiants Mourides) based in France, and the key leaders who participated in it such as Serigne Cheikh Ahmadou Mbacke, son of Serigne Moustapha Mbacke; Serigne Sarr Diop, President of ASEM; and Serigne Saliou Salam, among others.
Based on the events discussed in the material, it was likely written in the 1980s.
