The Mouride order (Wolof: yoonu murit, Arabic: الطريقة المريدية, romanized: aṭ-Ṭarīqat al-Murīdiyyah) or the Mouridiyyah (Arabic: المريدية) is a Sufi order (tariqa) most prominent in Senegal and The Gambia with headquarters in the city of Touba, which is a holy city for the order. Adherents are called Mourides, from murīd (مُرِيد, 'one who seeks'), a term used generally in Sufism to designate a disciple of a spiritual guide.
