Sant Serigne Saliou Mbacke,Thaksgiving Day

 In the framework of its activities the Foundation Khadimou Rassoul North America (FKRNA) is pleased to invite you to its annual SANT SERIGNE SALIOU MBACKE on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 22nd , 2007 from 7 AM till 11 PM.

"O you true believers, constant in virtue, take great care when picking a name for your children." which can be of great importance in their destiny. According to Imam Al Ghazali, naming one’s child after a saint man who received God’s graces is a way of making the aura of the namesake reflect on him and at the same time make him gain some of his distinguishable qualities in the sight of Allah. Shaykh Ahmadou Bamba, thus, did not depart from the rule by naming his son, born in 1915 in Diourbel and who will become the fifth caliph of the Muridiya community, SALIOU. A predestined name, SALIOU which means VIRTUE fits greatly to our hero.

 

 

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.
