He was a major leader of the Tijani Sufi order in West Africa. His followers in the Senegambia region affectionately refer to him in Wolof as “Baye”, or “Father”.

In Wolof, the Tijani of Senegal call themselves Talibe Baye, meaning “Disciples of Baye”. Outsiders often refer to his disciples as Naseen, which in Wolof means “from the family of Nas”, although his dis
