Le récit
The Qadiriyya is described as the oldest of the Muslim brotherhoods discussed in relation to Senegal. Its founder was the Sufi mystic Abdul Qadir al-Jilani, who established the brotherhood in the twelfth century. The passage presents Qadiriyya as a pan-Islamic order rather than a movement confined to Senegal.
The brotherhood spread to Senegal in the eighteenth century. This transmission formed part of the wider development of Sufi Islam in Senegal, where organized brotherhoods became influential in religious and social life. The excerpt does not identify the specific route or institutions through which Qadiriyya reached the country.
Qadiriyya also became important through its relationship to Mouridism. Amadou Bamba M’Backé established Mouridism as an offshoot of Qadiriyya in the late nineteenth century, giving the older brotherhood a direct place in the genealogy of one of Senegal’s most influential religious movements.
