- Scope & Content:
-
The manuscripts are the originals handwritten by Serigne Mouhammadou Masokhna Lo. Based on the interview with him, they were written in the 1980s. Red, green, and black ink are used in the manuscripts. The red and green ink are used to highlight key words and phrases. There are frequent insertions of Arabic phrases, which include Qur'anic quotations, and opening and closing formulae in Arabic. The manuscripts contain several poems written by Serigne Mouhammadou Masokhna Lo, including a biographical eulogy of Serigne Mor Mbaye Cisse, a renowned Murid scholar and educator who lived and taught in Diourbel, criticisms of social problems such as the lack of discipline and good behavior, disorderly conduct, adultery, the negative consequences of alcoholism among men, women, young and old, and among leaders and their followers. The materials also include historical accounts of the five year-construction of the mosque of Diourbel (Jumaay Ndiaareem) using chronograms, the discussion between Serigne Modou Moustapha (who led the effort) and the French engineer responsible for the construction on the equipment needed, the construction of the railway between Diourbel and Touba, the personal qualities of Serigne Bassirou Mbacke, a tribute to Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba and to Serigne Mbacke Madina, the motivation of 28 kaamil (copies of the Qur'an) written by Serigne Fallou Mbacke for his father and spiritual guide Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, and a tribute to Serigne Bousso, among others. The materials also contain a poem on coffee and its benefits.
