Serigne Abdou Ahad Mbacké

Abdou Ahad became caliph-general of the Mourides on 6 August 1968, on the death of his elder brother Fallou Mbacké, succeeding him at the head of the order. Under his caliphate Touba expanded rapidly: a hospital, a gendarmerie, a bus station and a market were built, the Great Mosque was enlarged and decorated in Moroccan style at a cost of 1.5 billion francs, and a library holding 170,000 volumes was created. He restructured the Occass market to fight smuggling and to restore a code of conduct for the talibés, and he called on his followers each to keep a residence at Touba.¹²

Both articles describe him by office and descent: the English article names him third caliph of the Mouride brotherhood and son of Amadou Bamba, its infobox is an officeholder infobox with no religion field, and Wikidata carries no religion value for him; no source states his own initiation or affiliation.²³

Abdou Ahad Mbacké died at Touba; the French article gives 19 June 1989, while the English article and Wikidata give only the year 1989. He was succeeded by his younger brother Cheikh Abdou Khadre Mbacké, imam of the Great Mosque of Touba.¹²³
