“ Don’t be fooled by my status of a black man to not take advantage of my works…” Masaalikul Janaan ( Ways onto heaven ) Ahmadou Bamba, Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba Mbacké (1853–1927) Bamba Sheikh Aḥmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ḥabīb Allah also known as Khadīmu l-Rasūl or The Servant of the messenger, was a Muslim Sufi religious leader in Senegal and the founder of the large Mourid Brotherhood (the Muridiyya). Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba was a mystic and religious leader who produced a prodigious quantity of poems and tracts on meditation, rituals, work, and Quranic study estimated over 7 tons. In all the stages which he crossed and everywhere where rebuilding of Islam led him, the work accomplished by Ahmadou Bamba took down positive appreciations unanimously. The universal dimension of this Servant of the Prophet, authenticates Qutb1 (pole of its time) was not long in appearing and one visited him from all the horizons, as it was the case of this Cherif of Medina, Mawlay Ahmad Tibri who made print specimens of Masaalik-ul Jinaan (Ways onto Heaven a treaty of Sufism of the Sheik) or of this descendant of Abu Bakr Siddiq (Caliph of Islam) who came from Mecca to visit the Holy Man. Today, Ahmadou Bamba has over 3 millions followers and parades occur around the world in his honor, including in various cities in the USA. In 1925 when the saint city of Madina was on the verge of being attacked by the Wahhabis, the religious authorities of the saint city including the most notorious Imams and muezzins wrote a letter to Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba seeking his blessed prayers against the enemies.
