The term "Mourid" refers to a follower of the Mouridiyya, a Sufi order founded in the late 19th century by Ahmad Bamba in Senegal. This spiritual movement emphasizes the importance of devotion to God, community service, and the pursuit of knowledge. Mourids often engage in various religious practices, including prayer, meditation, and the recitation of the Quran. Mourid culture is characterized by its unique rituals, festivals, and a strong sense of brotherhood among its members. The annual Magal celebration commemorates the exile of Ahmad Bamba and attracts thousands of followers, showcasing their commitment to faith and unity.
