While football fans await tonight's England vs Senegal World Cup match with nervous anticipation, at Cambridge Muslim College we reflect on one of Senegal’s most exemplary scholars – Shaykh Ahmadou Bamba.
After enduring imprisonment for his resistance to French rule in Senegal, Shaykh Ahmadou Bamba went on to establish the holy city of Touba in modern day Senegal. Writing extensively on Islamic matters to strengthen the faith of the Senegalese people, a legacy which remains to this day.
In this instalment of our Paradigms of Leadership Lecture Series, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad explores how this 19th century scholar kept the Islamic tradition alive in Senegal despite great internal and external challenges.

Muslim history brims with detailed accounts of incredible leaders. Some are better known than others but they all demonstrated a range of beautiful leadership qualities that we can learn from today.
