- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2020
- We Are The Baye Fall follows three extraordinary characters, all dreadlocked Senegalese Muslims identifying as Baye Fall, who join five million followers on a pilgrimage called The Grand Magal. Join characters, Ami, Bara, and Bas, as they embark on a spiritual journey to the holy city of Touba, revealing a kaleidoscopic human spectacle almost completely unreported in the global press.

Modu, a learned Baye Fall who lives under a French colonial cannon on the former slave port of Gorée Island, narrates the fascinating history of The Grand Magal and the story of its founder, Cheikh Amadou Bamba. Bamba was a 19th Century spiritual icon who was banished from Senegal for leading a pacifist Muslim revolution calling for independence against the French. Bamba taught that the way to achieve self-sufficiency is to work hard to help other people. These lessons in non-violent community organisation are still vital to Senegalese identity to this day. The Grand Magal is a large-scale demonstration of this philosophy, as every single one of the five million who arrive to pay tribute to Bamba receive free food and accommodation, provided by the sweat, hard work and service of the Baye Fall.
This annual event brings together an ever-expanding global movement, which offers an alternative way of living to individualist capitalism by putting the values of
equality and unity into positive community action.
Correction The Grand Magal commemorates Cheikh Amadou Bamba going into exile, not his return.
*Note: All footage was shot before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year the pilgrimage will take place on the 6th October.

The essence of Islam is Love and Service and the Baye Fall understand this system very well. It is no wonder that the Mūrid Triangle is Love-Service-Wisdom.
Hiit maa ! that's the root of sprituality, jaf jel in wolof baye fall terms , which means give and take . Then again in given you expect nothing but in return all you get is love , compassion , understanding and attic wisdom from Allah
No actually the essence of islam is shahada,praying,fasting,giving charity and going hajj if possible
Thank you for that documentary. This is true spirituality : peace and love !
May Allah bless the people in Senegal ❤️ 🌍
May Allah guide them to right path too ☝️
As a Murîd I can say that there are a lot of wrong things (that are not part of Islam and so not part of Muridism or Bay Fallism in this video)
(Please dear Journeyman Pictures and dear muslim brothers take your time and read this)
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful.
First of all, I salute the efforts given to make this to let people know about the Sheykh and his way. I don’t have doubt that your intention was good.
But as a Murid, disciple of Sheykh Ahmadu Bamba and living in Senegal, I can tell you that there are a lot of things in this video that are wrong (not everything) and are giving a bad image of Muridism in the muslim community, those things are not part of muridism since they’re not part of Islam. Muridism, Baye Fallism are nothing but Islam with nothing more and nothing less.. The Sheykh himself always said to be the “Slave of God and servant of Prophet Muhammad PBUH”. His way is Sharia and Haqiiqa by following Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah PBUH.
Apart of those things, scientifically, there are false informations given in this video and I will take only one of them: the Magal is not for celebrating the Sheykh’s return from exile. The Grand Magal is the recognition of Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba going into exile (which is a trial from Allaah to the Sheikh [“Do the people think that they will be left to say, ‘We believe’ and they will not be tried?" QURAN 29:2]).
So please when you have to do a documentary like this, go and see Muridism authorities, you’ll have all the documentation you need which I REPEAT is nothing but Islam ONLY. Because giving wrong information, giving a bad image about the Sheikh, about Muridism or Baye Fallism is a harm to the Sheikh, his legacy, the Murid community and all the Muslim’s community
It's very important to make them know that mouridism is not what as these people are talking about
@Bachir Ndiaye
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Thanks alot for the clarification brother. Is it true that Sheikhs of Muridism permit some murids whether bay fall or otherwise to leave and abstain from praying obligatory prayers and fasting Ramadan? If they don't condone such practices then why do these people keep doing it?
Salaam aleyk dear brother how are you doing?
There are nothing in islam such as mouridism tidianism or layen
The only two terms used by the CREATOR is muslim and kafir
Your are whether one or the other
And Allah remind us many time in the quran not to dived the religion into sects
And give names that he didn't prescript
Thank you for reading
@@aservant2499 Wa Halaykum Salaam dear sister. Doing good and you ?
How come persons that are following Imaam Maalik in fiqh are called malikis and same for other fiqh schools without dividing the religion? Things are simple that are only names but their practices has authentic sources and they are all part of Ahl Sunnah wal Jamaaha since muriid tiijaan etc. are all following Imaam Ashari in aqiida, Imaam Maalik in fiqh and Imaam Junayd in tassawuf. Things are very simple just some research and you’ll find that they’re all following Qraan, Sunnah and Ijmaah.
@@bachirNdiaye9 Alhamdoulilah
Not really the case
I totally disagree with you brother
I never heard calling themselves
As such they may have different specialities and teaching model but all agreed in the essence of monotheism and the submission
And you definitely can not compare people following the word of ALLAH and teachings of the prophet with innovators
And you know probably that innovation in the Deen is totally haraam
Most of the so Called "deen" here in senegal is pure innovation and has nothing to do with islam
I am not saying that out of hate rather
Of belief
And I will definitely follow your advise and keep searching because I really still have a long way to go and to learn
Please dear brother do the same
But please with an expanded horizon
Just like you I wish nothing but good to my Senegalese brothers
I live in here and had met genuine and kind hearted people 🇨🇲❤
so happy to find this kind of content in english
Honestly this was one of the best documentaries ever produced by journeyman pictures. I AM astonished!!!! Jerejeuf Serigne Touba!!!!
I just took my shahadah in February of this year, alhamdulilah. I want to go there to the Grand Magal and bring my brother Adam, inshallah.
May the Lord bless you all
#the bayeFall
the Pilgrimage in Islam is for makkah and medina, cheikh amadou if a life would approve my writings .
the pilgrimage is only in Makkah bro. I wish you all the best in the deen, please bro folllow the real sunnah of Muhammad is the best and right way.
Please don't go
The only place muslim should perform hajj is in Makkah not anywhere else
Great to see this docu - when i was a boy i was kindly received as a Baye Fall guest - it was the time of my life! Thanks for upload.
I love this....I wish we had such Muslims in South Africa
The best video I’ve watched for a while. You guys really well illustrated the Baye Fall philosophy.
NOTE, The Grand Magal is the recognition of Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba going into exile not his return.
You right, it was his going into exile not the return
Merci beaucoup pour ce beau documentaire. Such a beautiful and informative documentary. Makes me feel so proud of the Baye and Yaye Fall. Well done

We are all family
Greetings of Peace, this video mistakenly says the Grand Magal of Touba is celebrating the return from exile of Serigne Touba (Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba)- in fact the Magal celebrates his going into exile. The Sheikh taught the Mouride (Baye Fall) that it was through this test that Allah (God) endowed him with divine favours and grace. This is why we celebrate his *going into* exile- every year with the Grand Magal of Touba. Thank you. Dieuredieuf Serigne Touba- Amoul Morom. Diarama Mame Cheikh Ibra Fall- Abo Rijal
❤👊🙏
As a Christian I found this very interesting! So the Baye Fall are a sect of Islam?
Baye Fall are a subsect of the Mouride which are sufi Muslims. I spent time in Senegal. My husband is a Tijan. I was raised Christian
To my knowledge Baye Fall are the followers of a nobleman called Ibrahima Fall, who was a disciple of a prominent sufi scholar called Ahmadou Bamba. Sufism is an esoteric/mystical version of Islam.
Essetially there was a form of sufism called Tijaniyya that originated in North Africa then spread to West Africa. In Senegal, followers of Tijaniyya sufism became called the Mouride brotherhood and they developed their own sects by following different scholars mainly Ahmadou Bamba or others like Abdoulaye Niasse, and their disciples.
This all happened between 18th-20th centuries. Although sufism itself is much older than that, and spread all over the muslim world.

Ya Allah guide the people of senegal upon the sunnah of the prophet sallahu allaihi wasallam.
People of Senegal are upon the Sunnah this documentary doesn't explain that these baye fall people are a small minority of those who follow Sheikh Amadou Bamba's tarbiyya. They have a lot of bid'a no doubt.
Ameen. Their Mouride people are committing shirk. They think they're following the RassoulAllah ﷺ yet call themselves mourides, tijanes, lyonne... It's shocking how deceived they are and how held back they are from the blessings of ALLAH SWT because they're not learning the sunnah. Instead they're learning from their what they call, saints.
It's shirk and if they die upon it Allah does not forgive shirk.
May ALLAH guide their hearts to Islam Ameen
Follow the great imams teachings but don’t bow to his image and don’t make him god like. He was a man and he was an imam
So beautiful. Such beautiful people, such a beautiful culture. I feel so weird because my family had hid our bloodline. Quite a denial of culture... Not growing up with much culture in my family. It’s a beautiful thing to see.
What's your bloodline may I ask?
@Dawson Davis looool
to be fair, if my bloodline was hufflepuff, I'd hide it too

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون، ولكن التوحيد لا بواكي له!!!! أعوذ بالله من الضلال!!!
The guy whos protesting in front of the Cheikh picture is doing that wrong way
Juste une rectification le Magal ne célèbre pas le retour de l'exile mais plutôt le départ vers l'exil...Just a correction, Magal does not celebrate the return from exile but rather the departure towards exile...
Dieureudeuf Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba Mbacke 🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳 🗣🗣Cheikh Ibra Fall Lahilahaaa!!!
Khadim rassoul مشا ءاله❤❤❤❤
is it true that Baye Fall believe its ok to smoke weed and drink? also heard that they say you don't have to make salat if you love Ahmad Bamba do they really believe that ?
Le Magal est considéré "par commodité" comme un perelinage mais c'est en réalité un évènement de grâce pour la communauté Mouride. On ne célèbre pas le retour d'exile du Cheikh mais plutôt le départ en exile.
7:44 ASTAGFIRULLAH
Thank you. Jesus is LORD
En fait le pèlerinage célèbre le départ du Cheick et non son retour
My only issue with my countrymen is that we want to throw off French influences from colonialism but we won’t consider the fact that the Arab came first! Conversation for another time I guess.
ISLAM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT IN FACT THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF ISLAM IS THE ARABS
@@talatala9025 first of all, you speak yelling like a small child. No matter how you perform mental gymnastics to continue being blind to the truth you can’t change history and you can’t change the religion from being violent and intolerant. What an amazing idiotic way to speak to someone you don’t know. The Arabs were the first victimes of Islam, your reply shows you know very little of history, sad person you are.
NO arab has ever colonised Senegal you 🤡
Did the Arab come to Senegal or did Islam spread naturally to the area? Yes Arabs enslaved Africans but even other Africans enslaved Africans. The French wanted to bring their culture of Christianity and all the baggage that came with that. Islam spread to Senegal naturally because it is the true complete way of life and it lifted the Pagan Animist out of ignorance and into the true religion. Islam is not Arabic, Islam is from Allah SWT. It was just revealed to Arabs in their language because it is an easy language for the rest of humanity to learn.
Jahdief
Allah says in qur'an: Indeed We have sent down the Book to you, O Muhammad, with the truth, so worship Allaah alone making all religion purely and sincerely for Him. Indeed the religion that is free of all taint of shirk is alone what is acceptable to Allaah. As for those who take and invoke helpers and protectors besides Allaah, then they say, ‘We only worship them so that they should intercede for us and bring us nearer to Allaah.’ Indeed Allaah will establish judgement between them regarding the matters of religion about which they dispute.” [Soorah az-Zumar (39):2-3]
Unfortunately, the Baye Faal are Sufis and MAJORITY of their teachings are not from The Quran and Sunnah such as (Female Singers, Not Fasting or Praying because they have been guaranteed Paradise, Giving Hadiya to their Serigns etc) They are beautiful people but if they call themselves Muslims, they have to stick to the teaching of The Quran and Sunnah. Because what they are doing has already taken them beyond the fold of Islam. Thank you for the insightful video.
Let us stop arabising Islam. It is Africans interpretation of Islam! You prefer imperial Islam
Thanks brother you've said it well.
I dont know what murid or baye fall really means, but all the people's doings here in this video has nothing to do with Islam.. all of these practices are completely innovation and nothing else. i cant see any islamic here except for the mosque.
Much better not the largest Muslim pilgrimage but a large one indeed 😅
Many thanks :)

I didn't hear the holy prophet Muhammad's name throughout your chant n you claim to be Muslims, how?
I find it strange they’re speaking of Shiekh Amadu Bamba more than they do the Holy Prophet peace and blessing of Allah be upon him
Because unfortunately they are so busy in learning about this good slave than about the prophet
I live in this country and if u were to ask them about cheikh a bamba (may Allah have mercy on him) they will tell you his whole life but veryyyyyy few know any thing about the prophet pbuh or the basics on islam and monotheism
It's really unfortunate
@A S please stop spreading false information
If you are a Senegalese than both u and I know it's not the case😑🤦🏿♀️
@@aservant2499 bro you are the one spreading falsehood Senegalese are devout Muslims
Seeing islam in Senegal gave me more respect for it. But this is not the majority of the muslims in Senegal or how they pray. It's a subgroup. But they're cool tho! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Why was the man praying in front of the Cheikh’s picture? It’s taghut and forbidden in Islam. I like their form of communal spirituality though, and the Cheikh’s resistance of colonialism. May Allah guide us and save us from the entrapments of bid’ah
They follow their own version of Islam. No different from Sufis, who also have their own highly esteemed Cheikhs. All over the Muslim world there are shrines and graves of 'holy men' and teachers who are reveared as though they were divine. I am not a Muslim but i have discovered this through self education.
muslim should not pray infront of picture of human like worship him.
You should not tell other people what to do.
He is not worshiping the Cheikh but the picture was just there . We all know that we worship God 🙏
Im Gambian/Senegalese and my parents always told me that being Baye Fall is bad, but after learning more it just makes so much more sense to me. It is more beneficial to work for your community than to just do rakat after rakat, that is true devotion. It's easy to just pray, but to do, to work for the sake of Allah is much better. I've watched so many people that say "I pray 5 times a day, i fast 2 extra days so im a good muslim" yet at the same time they're greedy, selfish, and judgmental. I always thought wouldn't god love it more if i work and struggle for my community rather than just bow my head on the floor?
Hmmm I pray may Allah guide u And us,you are in the wrong way and thought
Please don't fool yourself brother
The name muslim itself means submission to the will and commands of Allah not what you actually "think should be more important or less important than that " just put in your mind he own that brain and body
And he Is the wise
Nothing is more beloved to Allah than doing what he has commended u 2 do
@@aservant2499 But Allah commands us to do good by each other. On the day of judgment Allah will weigh your actions not your rakats.
@@zizoushifty1483 I guess u didn't understand what rakka mean
You getting up every day making ablutions and praying is actually an action
May Allah forgive u guys
