ISLAM
Islam is regularly gaining ground all over Western Africa and has become the religion of more than 95 % of the Senegalese population.
The islamization of the present territory of Senegal began during the XIth century when the Almoravides arrived (the Almoravides were a moslem sect and dynasty that reigned on the Nort West of Africa and part of Spain during the XIth and XIIth centuries).
That islamization continued round the end of the XIXth century with the arrival of great moslem brotherhoods : the Mourides and the Tidjanes.
The Mourides autonomous school was founded by Ahmadou Bamba, marabout. This brotherhood had a congregation of 400,000 talibes (faithful) when Ahmadou Bamba died in 1927.

The word "mouride" means "who is longing for" in Arabic.

Ahmadou Bamba was buried in Touba. The town has now become a major place of pilgrimage.
The Tidjane brotherhood was founded at the beginning of the XXth century by El Hadj Malik Sy.

This brotherhood's sensibility (i.e.: their attitude to perceive moral, emotional impressions) has gathered the largest congregation in Senegal..

The "gamou" is the annual pilgrimage which commemorates El Hadj Malik Sy's birth. It takes place at Tivouane.
