Senegalese religions are diverse, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage. The majority of Senegalese people practice Islam, which was introduced in the 11th century. Sufi brotherhoods, such as the Tijaniyya and Muridiyya, play a significant role in the spiritual life of many Muslims, emphasizing community and devotion. In addition to Islam, traditional African religions are practiced, often alongside Islamic beliefs. These indigenous faiths involve the worship of ancestors and spirits, with rituals that connect the community to their history and environment. This blend of beliefs creates a unique spiritual landscape in Senegal.
