As a Senegalese who was born and raised in Thailand because I’m also Thai I’ve always seen the picture of bamba growing up whenever we would gather around the Senegalese community for Quran and some sort of dhikr. I visited Touba in 2011 as a kid and was invited into the home of the founder because my father was one of their best students. At that time I was still too young to communicate in foreign languages or innerstand the importance of where I was (they even bestowed a name upon me at that time which I try to reject,but for some time I start to accept it was Sohkna Amy Chiekh), but with the knowledge of Bambas system of education I now overstand how deeply I’m aligned to this path and how deeply it’s been resonating within me throughout my whole life. I am 20 now and yes i will livicate my actions towards a reform process that betters the world, but only Allah knows what impact I will make and how I will get there. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtzUfbHMoWE&t=981">16:21</a>

I shivered when I saw the thumbnail!! FINALLY someone knowledgeable other than a Senegalese with the right Youtube audience sharing the story of a such remarkable man -- he successfully achieved what no one ever achieved! His teaching and wisdom are perennial proof that Allah favors who He wants!

Mashalla brother! <br>Words can’t describe my satisfaction. You did a great job. Of course, a 40-minute video is not enough to describe such a great Sheikh and suffi like Khadim Rassul but as a native of Senegal and a proud disciple of Khadim Rassul, I can guarantee you that this video was amazing. Much respect for taking the time to do the proper research & exposing English-speakers to this great suffi since most of his writings are known by Arabic, French and Wolof speakers! Dieureuff! Now you are a Mouride lol
