A Shia Muslim Finds True Baraka

2007 Vol. 6: Nov/Dec

I was about twelve years old when I first saw the saint whom the Murids of Senegal call master, savior, and even god. I was just a city block away from our house, on my way to school, when out of nowhere, a crowd of Muslims rushed toward the Murid mosque nearby. I learned later that word had gotten out that the spiritual leader of the Murid Muslims had unexpectedly come there for prayer.
