All is well that ends well. After several months of negotiation with the owner, the Dahira Khidmatul Khadim of Raleigh, NC has closed the deal on the property broadening, thus, the list of Residences (Keur) Serigne Touba in the American soil.
The Murid disciples are once again proving the saying “ many hands make light work” putting into practice one important aspect of the teachings in the philosophy of the Shaykh: self-autonomy, and financial independence- that he first set in motion when he planned to build the mosque of  Diourbel, by requesting each disciple to bring his or her own contribution in order to start the project. He was teaching his disciples that they have to first look help from within their selves before turning to their neighbors.

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.

Serigne Ndam Abdu Rahmane Lo (1853- 1942) will be remembered, on January 20th, 2007 by his family, under the aegis of the caliph, Serigne Bassirou Abdu Rahmane Lo, together with the rest of the Murid community in Senegal and around the world.
In 1892 Serigne Ndam was asked by the Shaykh together with Serigne Massamba Diop, Serigne Ibrahima Sarr and Shaykh Ibrahima Fall, to reunite with their families, for he was satisfied with them as well as Allah (SWT) and His prophet Muhammad (SAWS). That decision of the Shaykh coincided with the birth of Mouhamadu Lamine Bara Mbacke.

The list of Residence Serigne Touba in the U.S just added another one to itself thanks to the determination of the members of Touba Baltimore Dahira. In fact they received the house’s keys on New Year’s Eve, coinciding with the prayer day for our late master and guide Serigne Saliou Mbacke Khadimou-r-Rassoul, which was a good opportunity for its opening.

The prayer session, Quran Recital and Qaçâids Chanting, took place at the residence under the leadership of Serigne Khassim Mbacke, accompanied by Serigne Mame Mor Mbacke, who gave their blessings to the projects intended to be realized there: Mosque, Quranic School, Day Care etc…

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.
