The "Community of the Divine Flood," established by Ibrahim Niasse within the Tijaniyya Sufi order in West Africa, is among the most successful Islamic movements of the twentieth century. This book provides a fascinating analysis of its emergence, its teachings and practices, and its dramatic expansion during the late colonial period.
