| Return to Allah of Serigne Touba Serigne Saliou Mbacke
 Serigne Saliou departed from us. when we heard the tiding this evening everyone was in a state of shock, not only Murid disciples around the world but also Senegalese people, all confessions confounded, for he was the light illuminating each and every member of the community as he was cherished by everyone. But no doubt “to Allah (SWT) we come from so to Him we will return” without exception. His spirit will remain with us forever.
His return to Allah (SWT) is more felt by the innumerable young boarding students in his numerous Koranic schools whom he loved and cherished a lot, he was seen as a father, a mother, a friend, a confident and a grandfather so on and so forth; everything symbolizing in their eyes a role model and an archetype as young as they are ,could be found in their namesake Serigne Saliou . He has dedicated his entire life to the perpetuation of his venerated father’s legacy, which could be summed in two words-Teaching Islam, the Sunnah and helping the indigents and poor people. his return to Allah (SWT) should'nt be mourning moments for us , but instead moments of thanks and praises for his peacefull rest in the company of the blessed in Heaven. He was the embodiement of the perfect sufi, a complete ascetic, detached from the matters of this worldly life. We all remember him stating in his first inaugural speech that: beside perpetuating the legacy of Khadimou Rassoul, his venerated father ,and Islam, norhing would be of his concern let alone incite his least comments. He has been faithful to this sacerdoce in his accomplished lifetime in defending Islam, the religion of Prophet Muhammad, in fulfilling his mission as the fifth heir of Murridiyya and leader of the murid community. He has immortalized the concept of Qidma- or work, in his farms at Khelcom, the fruit of which help to feed thousands of families and students every year. One cannot count his many achievements since he ascended the caliphate after the short ministry of his brother and friend Serigne Abdul Khadre in 1990. Sopey Cheikhoul Khadim and the Murid community in New York are presenting their saddened condolences to his family and to all the Murid community. Imam Bachir Lo is summoning all Muslims specially Murid disciples in New York and vicinity to attend the Koran Recital, and prayers, tomorrow starting 9 AM at the Residence Serigne Touba located At Edgecombe Avenue and 137 St. in Harlem, NY.

| Affectionately called El Hadji Bara, he is the namesake of Serigne Muhamadu Lamine Bara MBACKE Ibn Khadimu-r-Rassul, for he came to this world when the latter was visiting Serigne Muhamadu Fadilou Mbacke. His father entrusted him to his namesake at an early age, who gave him an excellent education. Moreover he taught him the Quran and consequently calligraphy writing style. From the same source his excellent training in religious sciences was completed. After spending many years with the later he returned to his father in order to follow his spiritual training. At 82 years old Serigne Bara is the sixth Caliph of Muridiyya since the passing of the late Serigne Saliou Mbacke ( May Allah increase his favors) on December 28th , 2oo8. Following his father’s steps with regard to Serigne Touba, he traded in with him his filial bond with that of an exceptional disciple. He was his right-hand-man. He was also well known for his loving care and indescribable affection for his father and spiritual guide. He became soon committed to his father’s service; he has played several roles as his official representative, or right hand man in many tasks requiring tact, honesty and commitment. He has performed several times the Umra (little pilgrimage) in Mecca, very fluent in Arabic and French, Serigne Bara is also well known for his insightfulness and open-mindedness. He has a great spirit of organization; his skills have been put to the tests on several occasions as the leader of Serigne Fallou’s family. Very entrepreneurial, he was very close to Serigne Saliou and has been even been his chauffeur for seven years. In the same way he had tight relationships with Serigne Abdu Qadr Mbacke and would escort him to lead Friday mass prayer at the Grande Mosquee of Touba. Serigne Muhamadu Lamine Bara was well renowned through his remarkable interventions in the farms of Serigne Saliou Mbacke in Khelcom, with his disciples and the entire family of Serigne Fallou Mbacke (clearing the fields, maintenance or harvesting). He is well known for his regular attendance of Friday Mass prayers at the Grande Mosquee since its grand opening of the on Friday June 7, 1963. His kind-heartedness, generosity and sincerity are well known. Serigne Bara Mbacke is very attached to the family of Khadimu-r-Rassul and has great respect, gratitude and exemplary devotion for his predecessors and wants to be the worthy successor of the message of Serigne Touba. Hard working and great unifier, Serigne Bara has always been working for the perpetuation of Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba legacy. Since he ascended the caliphate he took the Kazzu Rajab celebration to a more significant level, with the support of his brothers, family and disciples. May Allah (SWT), by the grace of the Elected (Pbuh), the benediction of his illustrious grand-father Cheikhoul Khadim, and the Baraka (favors) of his spiritual master, Serigne Fallou Mbacke, give him a longer life and ultimately give a happy ending to all his projects.
