Muslim brotherhoods of Senegal

This is a list of Muslim groups in Senegal (and also The Gambia). They are active Muslim organizations founded in past centuries by alleged "messengers" or "prophets" of Allah.

The three largest are:

• The Xaadir (Qadriyya) , the oldest, originally founded by the Sufi mystic Abdul Qadir al-Jilani in the 12th Century, now pan-Islamic, spread to Senegal in the 18th Century.
• The Tijaans (Tidianes), the largest in membership, founded in Fez, Morocco by the Algerian born marabout Al-Tijaniyya who called himself a Prophet of Al'lah and more.
• The Mourides, the richest and most active, founded by marabout Amadou Bamba (1850-1927) of French West Africa, now Senegal.
