The Murid Brotherhood is a Sufi Islamic order founded in the late 19th century in Senegal by Amadou Bamba. It emphasizes spiritual development, education, and hard work, promoting a peaceful and disciplined lifestyle among its followers. The Murids are known for their devotion to Allah and their veneration of Bamba, who is considered a saint and a key figure in Senegalese history. The brotherhood has a significant cultural and social influence in Senegal, particularly in the city of Touba, which is the spiritual center of the Murid community. The annual pilgrimage to Touba, known as the Magal, attracts thousands of followers and celebrates Bamba's legacy, reinforcing the values of unity and community among Murids.
