It discusses the planning, division of labor, challenges, and role of key Murid figures (Serigne Mbacke Bousso, Mame Thierno, Cheikh Ibrahima Fall, Serigne Balla Thioro, Amdy Moustapha Mbacke, Cheikh Masamba Mbacke, among others) in the project. The documents were written between 1932 (the beginning of the construction of the mosque) and 1963 by Serigne Moussa Ka, and were disseminated in 1963 by Serigne Saliou Ka (at the first opening of the mosque). Serigne Ngagne Ba and Serigne Saliou Cisse were the first to read the poem that day. The poem contains 1647 verses. Based on the interview with the owner, the materials were written between 1932 and 1963. Digitized on 21 July 2011. Due to the poor photocopy quality of some pages, some lines are hard to read.
