Mouridism

The book entitled Mouridism: Iman, Islam and Ihsan is a compilation and synthesis of the teachings of Shaykh Ahmad Bamba who also goes by the names of Khadim Rasoul (Servant of the Prophet) and Serigne Touba (Master of Touba) that have been gathered together from a variety of his works. This is an introduction to his writings and the beginning lessons for initiation upon his path.



Khadim Rasoul explains the three (3) Pillars of the Mouride Way (Mouridism) as Faith in the Oneness of ALLAH (Iman by Tawheed), Submission to the Recommendation of Islam (Islam by Fiqh) and Perfection through Initiation (Ihsan by Tasawwuf).

The finality of this 3 fold path is the FACE of ALLAH.



The origin of the path of Khadim Rasoul begins during the time of the Hijra of the Prophet Mohammed, Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) and it still exists today. It is the esoteric path of the Muslim, Mumeen and Muhsan, wherever they may be. This path came into West Africa through the teachings of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani, Shaykh Abu Hasan Shadhili and Shaykh Ahmad Tijani, may Allah be pleased with all of them...
