It emphasizes hard work, spiritual devotion, and the pursuit of knowledge, promoting a strong sense of community among its followers. The brotherhood is known for its unique practices, including the recitation of prayers and the celebration of religious festivals. The Mouride community is particularly recognized for its economic activities, including agriculture and trade, which support its members and contribute to the local economy. The annual Magal pilgrimage to Touba, the order's spiritual center, attracts millions of devotees, highlighting the brotherhood's significance in Senegalese culture.
