Serigne Babacar Sy

Senegalese scholar (1885-1957), son of El Hadj Malick Sy and his first khalifa-general over the Tijaniyya in Senegal, from 1922 until his death. At Tivaouane he founded the dahira associations (1932) that organised the order's followers, and he wrote poems and works on the Prophet's life, on Ahmad Tijani and on his father.
