On Friday 29th March he gave a beautiful talk at Rumi's Cave in Kilburn London in which he talked about our Master Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his amazing qualities masha'Allah. The atmosphere was wonderful and everybody sang along to qaseedas that were sung by him and two other brothers.
Over 40,000 people from all over the world have travelled to Medina Baye, in Koalak, Senegal for the Great Mawlid at the Grand Mosque.

This September London was blessed and honoured to receive the Imam of the Grand Mosque in Madinah Baye, Senegal- Imam Sheikh Tijani Cisse . He arrived from Paris on the Eurostar at London's St Pancras Station. The murids who came to meet him couldn't contain their excitement, elation and gratefulness to Allah and immediately burst into live melodious thikr in one of the many West-African thikr styles.
He gave an interview for a cable and Internet TV channel, from his hotel room, and spoke about the deen of Islam, Sheikh Ahmed Tijani (r.a) d.1815, Sheikh Ibrahim Niass (r.a) 1975 and the blessings of Tariqa Tijaniyya. The interview was also filmed by Sidi Ibraheem Raji and can be viewed below.
One small piece of advice from Imam in this video is to make thikr 'Hasbunallahu wa ni mal wakeel' and 'Salatul Fatih'
May Allah bless Imam Sheikh with good health, long life and more knowledge to share.
