caption_attribution_description: This is the single remaining photo of Ahmadu Bamba and was most likely photographed before 1923. Apparently, no one owns a copyright and it has come down to us through being reproduced in countless photo labs and by photocopying.
context_page_description: Ahmadou Bamba Mbacke also known to followers as Khādimu 'al-Rasūl or "The Servant of the Messenger" and Serigne Touba or "Sheikh of Tuubaa", was a Sufi saint and religious leader in Senegal and the founder of the large Mouride Brotherhood.
  Mbacke produced poems and tracts on meditation, rituals, work, and Quranic study. He led a pacifist struggle against the French colonial empire while not waging outright war on the French like several prominent Tijani marabouts had done.
