This is the letter Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba Mbacke wrote to the governor of the colony in Sain Loius or Ndar, Senegal stating him, he had no intention to wage war against them. His mission in life was not causing violence, but saving people from darkness to light; from pessimism to optimism. The growing of the Murid brotherhood led dread within many people hearts. Particularly, the Marabouts, and the sons of the kings who ruled those little kingdoms divided Senegal. Why? They might lose all their credibleness if the act continued. They started creating rumors like (Cheikh) was preparing War or "Jihad" against the France colonizers as several Marabouts did before him, like Alhaji Omar Tall, Maba Jaho Bah as well as Samory Toury. Notwithstanding, that did not surprise (Cheikh). He learned that throughout history people have been alienated whoever came with a new principle that they did not know. It has always been tough to try to change the way people are accustomed to living. You must build a strong heart to be an untouchable achiever. You must be courageous to live your dreams. You must risk your own life to save people from falling in the dark, deep hole in life, and provide them new opportunities to live in glory. That was why no matter how dicey the future was, how determined the enemies were (Cheikh) overpowered them tranquilly.
