As soon as he ascended to the Caliphate in 1990, after the short ministry of SERIGNE ABDOUL KHADRE, he immediately set the tone, by clearly putting forward guidelines that would imprint his course of actions as the new leader of the Muridiya community. In his memorable inaugural speech, he stated straightforwardly, that beside Islam and subsequently perpetuating the legacy of Serigne Touba Shaykh Ahmadou Bamba, nothing else would be of his concern or preoccupation, and let alone incite his least comments or recommendations in whatsoever. Things were clearly set and everyone knew what kind of leader they were dealing with. Faithful to his pledge, he remained constant in his position, with one only concern, promoting Islam and developing the legacy of his illustrious father.
In this colossal enterprise, Serigne Saliou is endowed, fortunately, with a profound knowledge of the Qur’an and related Islamic Sciences, an immeasurable generosity, and humility. Very brilliant and cultivated man, who is very aware of the challenges entailing his mission of caliph, and over all he pays quite enough attention to the international situations’ drawbacks on the future of Islam, of which he is one of the most ardent defenders.
