The mosque is situated in the Yoff area of Dakar. There were about twenty worshippers at Fajr prayer. After the prayers, all of them set out to the grave of Imam Laye situated near the sea coast. We accompanied them. After about 100 metres walk, they entered a big field surrounded by a wall. Being at the sea side it was sandy. We were told that it was sacred land. Then they entered a room that housed a grave. As they entered the room, they all said loudly: ـی ہللا ـا نبـ ـۃ ہللا یـ ـم ورحمـ ـام علیکـ السـ (Peace be unto you and His Mercy, O Prophet of Allah). Then they prayed in their own ways separately and set out for their homes. There is no opposition in the country to this sect. They hold a fair every year which is participated by all other sects. They regard the Ahmadiyya Jama’at off the right path for believing in the prophet- hood of Promised Messiah (as) while there is no opposition to this sect in spite of their belief in two prophets after the Holy Prophet (saw). Please note that this sect comprises of members of one family.
